The current US administration with Congress passed the bill last year to create "Trump Account" that creates an "IRA for kids", starting this year.

The Trump Account will come with $1k initial deposit from the US government (paid from your taxes) for all babies born in USA last year Jan 1 2025 to Dec 31, 2028.

To get that, need to file an IRS tax form with your tax return to ask for it then once the Trump Account program starts in June/July 2026, you will be contacted by the US government to set up the Trump Account for your new babies.

For other kids born before Jan 1, 2025, can set up Trump Account.
Watch this ASL to learn more and enjoy a short bit of comedy.

Very good reminder about the power of the stock market as a good way to build up wealth. 😁

The picture shows there is ZERO percent chance the investment in S&P 500 will lose money over 20 YEARS. Meaning if you started your investment in 2000 with $100, your investment would grow to higher amount at year 2020 if put in S&P 500. 😲

Exceptions:
US blow up, Earth gets hit by a comet, a great war that destroys the world economy, and other extraordinary event that shatters the current norms. 🫣

If you have not yet started investing or doing not enough, contact us DeafInvest to learn more about your options for investments. 😃
