Trump Accounts: Saving Kids’ Futures | Global News
Description
Trump Accounts just launched, giving newborns born between 2025 and 2028 a $1,000 head start into investing—families, friends, and employers can add up to $5,000 yearly, locked into a tax-free index fund until age 59.5, with penalties unless used for education, housing, or emergencies. Critics call it too complex for lower-income families, while the White House says it’s about democratizing stock ownership. Six million families signed up before launch—already $125 million deposited—with projections showing that initial $1,000 could grow to $6,000 by age 18, and with max contributions, could balloon to over $270,000.
