JUST IN: It's been confirmed that Trump Accounts can grow to $191,000 THOUSAND dollars from age 0 to 18, and then to over $2 MILLION up to retirement, with the maximum contribution of $5,000 per year

To start,
Trump seed money: +$1,000
Michael Dell: +$250

This will teach American kids about saving VERY early, and the government can't touch this money. You don't even need to make the $5K max to get a huge benefit from this.

Incredible idea. This is how you help the next generation

This is sweet to think that all the illegals h1bs and food stamp peoples kids will get more of the taxpayers money since they’re the only ones that have kids

Instead of a trump account, just give every MFJ a yearly taxable income deduction of 100k per minor child dependent.

Not watching but sounds like index funds.

191k over 18 years at 5k/year is a little over 100% return, which equates to about 5% annually. If the market swings big that's actually pretty low. Nice overhead for the managers.

At this rate of inflation, $191,000 won't be much in 18 years.

So, it's an IRA that gives you the first $1250 free?

I'm pro Trump, but this doesn't seem like some new idea. Just a new name on something that is already available to the public.

Great.

Now they just need to offer health savings plans at birth, supplemented when employed.

It sounds good but I doubt many people contribute to it. The people that can afford to contribute will just like they max their IRA accounts. The majority of people having children at 35 and under are not financially able to contribute. So that $1250 will just sit there or they’ll withdraw it and pay the taxes on it

Probably pretty far down the list of financial operations. On the surface, an UTMA or UGMA might be better, as well as 529s (depending on intent). I guess you could supercharge your kids’ retirement if they are allowed to convert the account to an actual IRA at 18.

I mean, the worst I've seen in this thread is, "It's the same as other options." OK. And of all the things for the government to fund, this seems best instead of pass-along social security.

And then they’ll change the laws that you can’t touch it until retirement and by that time legal retirement age will be be 117

If there is any way for people to pull the money out early with penalty I bet 90-95% of these accounts are zero and spent back into the economy before the first 18 years is up.

This is almost guaranteed actually.
