You can use TreasuryDirect, which allows you to buy bonds directly from the government, for as little as $50. There is no transaction fee and no fee for maintaining an account.
Ignore people making fun of the fact that $65 is not a lot. There is no minimum amount to start saving and investing.

Bonds are an extremely low risk / low return investment. If your looking to spend only $65, you might as well buy a government issued savings bond.

You can't, bonds trade in minimum pieces of 1,000 (municipals are 5,000) and are usually prices around $100 per 100 (meaning 1,000 or 1 bond will cost $1000). Now there are many different types of bonds and strips or convertibles are cheaper, but nothing that $65 can buy. Try a Mutual Fund that is made up of bonds.
