Any reason not to buy $10k for each family member in late November, then again $10k for each family member in late January?

I put $10k in back in July. Will probably do $10k more in January.

Not a great “investment,” but a pretty good vehicle to park some cash in.

Unless you’re just using the kids to increase the contribution max, I think you’d be better off putting any money actually intended for the kids in the market given their longer investment horizon.

Isn't a problem here that the base rate (I don't remember the technical term) that's fixed is still quite low, and the variable rate is, well, variable and not guaranteed to remain high?

They’re not an alternative to the market or more speculative investments. They are an alternative to leaving cash in a savings account.

I did put $10k in earlier this year, interested to see what the interest rate will be whenever it next adjusts. Might put another $10k in soon as well.

I Bonds are great for petty cash, but even if you have a wife and 8 kids, we're only talking about $100K. $200K if you do this two years running. You need somewhere else to put nontrivial investments.

This was excellent advice and continues to be.

If you buy them in your kids’ names is that money transferred to the kids? Or can I cash them out in a few years and reinvest normally?
