The single best Financial move you can make for a child: Start Early.


My brother just welcomed a baby girl. My first instinct after congratulating him?


"Go open an investment account for her!"


*Time* is the most valuable asset in wealth building - and it's the one thing you can't buy back.


Here's what most people don't realize:


$1,000 invested at birth grows to roughly $5,500 by the time a child turns 18, assuming average historical S&P 500 returns. That's before a single additional dollar is contributed in subsequent years.


Right now, there's a new government program - Trump Accounts - that seeds eligible children born between 2025-2028 with exactly that: a $1,000 head start from the U.S. Treasury.


📌 The government's earliest projected deposit date is July 4, 2026 - so now is the time to get set up.

Early investing for children is just one piece of a larger financial picture.


At Empower Wealth Counseling, I help early and mid-career professionals get intentional about money - so that one day, working becomes a choice, not a requirement.


That's financial independence. And it's more achievable than most people think.


Curious what your path could look like? Let's talk.
