I'm curious, do savings bonds still follow the same principle of doubling in value every 7 years as they used to? I've heard that the interest rates and market conditions have changed significantly over time, so I'm wondering if this traditional rule of thumb still holds true. Can you provide some insight into how savings bonds have evolved and whether the 7-year doubling trend still applies?

This guarantee means that even if market conditions are unfavorable, the government will add money to the bondholder's account balance to ensure that the bond reaches its doubled value.

In addition to their guaranteed return, Series EE Bonds also offer tax advantages, as the interest earned on these bonds is exempt from federal income taxes until the bonds are redeemed.
