Will still be worth $191,000. I think you mean to say it will have the same buying power as $1200. Even at higher than average inflation, in 18 years it should still have the purchasing power that 100 grand has today

Wonder what the relevant buying power of $2M will be in 2085 when these kids are retirement age ?


Won't be much, enough to survive for 6 months perhaps

Can you withdraw that money tax free?

Why only 5,000 max contribution per year? Seems rather low.

I definitely would do this for my kids if its tax free withdrawals

Just a $10k balance at age 20 is almost a million at 65.

Where is money coming from?

It was initially from all the tarriffs income. But isn’t Trump getting rid of all his tariffs?

It shouldn't be tagged to tariffs even if that was the initial idea.

It's a good idea to help people in the future. And to give confidence to people who might be debating about if they should have kids

One $1,000 deposit at birth will be worth a little more than $100,000 assuming compound returns of 8%/year during 60 years.


A little more, but pretty close if compounded annually.

It will all be looted by Wall Street fees and the government confiscating part of it for an "emergency".

Compounding interest is world wonder.

Now, the present value of that projected value is substantially smaller but it’s still an awesome start.

Stupid


Bu the time retirement age comes for “trump accounts” will be equivalent to $50,000 today.

It would only make inflation worse. Retarded

How about lowering the cost of living so the parents can actually “max-fund” it yearly.

I like the concept & the efforts to create wealth for families and future generations. , They are missing the point!

EVERYTHING is high as Giraffe Nuts!

Being taxed into oblivion & the money is going to tranny parades in Africa.

Let’s tackle the clear and present dangers before setting up “glorified savings accounts”

Wtf. How would this be confirmed. Thats not the right word.


“Potential”

I loathe the bullshite we are hammered with by the media and the influencer types that push it. May as well claim that it could reach one million. Or maybe even


If you’re gonna make stuff up you may as well go really high with what it could be.
