Put $10K for each family member. It's a good deal for US residents with the markets so high.

Personally, I tend to agree. Where else can you get 7% guaranteed?

The 7% is not "guaranteed", The rate is variable and resets twice each year based on the CPI-U and interest is compounded semi-annually.

It is "guaranteed" for the next 6 months. Nobody said it was guaranteed in perpetuity.
