Free Money for Kids’ Future

Vermont’s Treasurer is pushing parents to open “Trump Accounts” for kids born between 2025 and 2028 — the U.S. Treasury kicks in $1,000, with grandparents and parents able to add up to $5,000 annually, aiming to build a future retirement fund. While Pieciak admits wealthier families may benefit more, he emphasizes seizing the free money. Tech billionaires Michael and Susan Dell are also contributing $250 to kids in lower-income areas. Meanwhile, Vermont prepares to launch its own pilot: First Steps Forward, offering cash, mental health support, free diapers, and a $3,200 baby bond for Vermont-born kids — funded privately, designed to grow for education, business, or home ownership by age 18.
