Raising Tiny CFOs, Part 2: The 5 Accounts That Give Your Kid a Head Start

What if your kid didn't start their financial life at zero? In Part 2 of Raising Tiny CFOs, Maddie and Meghan break down five accounts that build a money system you can hand over piece by piece. You'll learn how a 529 became far more flexible than the old "college-only" bet, what the brand-new Trump Account actually is (and who qualifies for free starter money), how UTMAs and custodial Roth IRAs work as your "extra money" layers, and the costs-nothing authorized-user trick that gives your kid a credit history before they turn 18. Don't have kids? Stay right here — every account works for you, or for a kid you love as the favorite aunt, godparent, or grandparent. You don't need to open all five. Pick the one that fits your life right now and start. Because the real goal isn't leaving your kid money — it's leaving them the know-how to run it.
