In which situation would a savings bond be the best investment to earn interest?

A savings bond is generally best for money you can leave invested for a longer period, since it earns interest over time and may not be convenient to cash in right away. Five years gives the bond time to grow, making “putting aside a chunk of money to purchase a house in five years” the best choice. The other situations involve regular saving, a near-term bill, or needing quick access to cash.
