OBJECTION 3: "The kid controls it at 18." So does the UTMA. So does the UGMA. At 18 or 21, that money is legally theirs, no strings, no penalty, spend it on whatever. The Trump account becomes a traditional IRA. Raiding it costs ordinary income tax plus a 10% penalty. That friction stops most bad decisions. Same control problem as every alternative. Except this one has a lock on the door. And we're not talking about pocket change. The government's own projection: $1,000 seed plus $5,000 a year grows to roughly $271,000 by age 18. Even the seed alone, untouched, hits about $243,000 by age 55. The real risk isn't your kid mishandling the money. It's your kid turning 40 with nothing, because nobody put in the first dollar. Thinking through whether a Trump account fits your family's plan? That's the exact question we help clients answer. Click the link in my profile to get started an be sure to follow.

Trump accounts have some real flaws. I'm telling clients to open one. Even for kids or grandkids who aren't newborns. Here are the 3 objections I keep hearing, and why they don't hold up...

OBJECTION 1: "The tax treatment is worse than a brokerage account." Compare the endgames. The brokerage: taxed for life. Dividends taxed every year. Gains taxed every sale. Above $2,700, a kid's investment income gets taxed at YOUR rate, and the kiddie tax can follow a student to age 24. The Trump account: no annual tax bill for 18 years, then a path to a Roth. Tax-free for life. OBJECTION 2: "The Roth conversion at 18 might never happen." 18 was never the right year anyway. The window is early career, after the kiddie tax ends and before the big paychecks start. A 24 year old in the 10% bracket converts a few thousand a year and locks in decades of tax-free growth. Taxed for life, or tax-free for life. That's the actual choice.

"But my child or grandchild was born before 2025. No $1,000 for us." Doesn't matter. The private money is chasing older kids. → Dell Foundation: $250 for millions of kids 10 and under → SpaceX's president: $325 million in stock for 2 million kids 11 to 17 → Goldman, JPMorgan, Chipotle and others matching $1,000 for employees' kids → Grandparents, family, employers and you can add up to $5,000 a year combined No account, no free money.

Just wrapped up a mind-blowing murder mystery剧本杀! The clues were tight, the role-play was on point, and I still can’t stop second-guessing whodunit—10/10 for chaotic fun!

Growth isn’t about becoming someone new—it’s about peeling back the layers of who you already are, until you land on the part that feels like you. And that messy peeling is where the magic lives.
