The government wants to drop $1,000 into an investment account for your baby and lock it for 18 years. Smart policy or a headline with fine print?
We run both sides of the debate so the numbers do the talking.
Here is what we cover:
➡️How the program works for US citizen kids born between 2025 and 2028
➡️The $5,000 yearly add-on option and why it creates a fairness problem
➡️What inflation and a bad market decade do to that $1,000 over 18 years
➡️Real examples showing how outcomes change based on what families contribute
➡️Why a Roth IRA is the better move if you are already too old to qualify
A $1,000 head start sounds equal. But the families who benefit most are the ones who keep adding to it every year.
