## Resource

Starting July 4th, Trump Accounts launch to help kids under 18 build lifelong wealth—think of it as a financial head start, like a retirement fund but for children. Parents, employers, charities, and even the government can contribute up to $5,000 annually, all invested in low-cost U.S. stock index funds. Babies born 2025–2028 get a $1,000 boost from the Treasury, while kids born 2016–2024 in lower-to-middle-income areas may receive $250 thanks to the Dell family. Funds stay locked until age 18—except in rare cases like death or rollovers—with the Treasury overseeing setup and Bank of New York Mellon managing investments. All tracked via a dedicated app, this program’s goal? Give every kid a real shot at the American dream.
