Start Them Early
Teaching Your Kids to Invest, One Stock They Love at a Time
Fifty dollars a month. That is the whole ballgame to start. Not a fortune, not a college fund, just a small automatic transfer you stop noticing, pointed at stocks of companies your kids already know and love. Jeff started accounts like that for his kids when they were small, raised the amount as they grew, and let birthday and Christmas money join in sometimes. Today those accounts are worth about $40,000, and the money is not even the main thing his kids own. They own the habit. This short book walks the two roads side by side: the new Trump Account, with its $1,000 seed for children born from 2025 to 2028, and the do-it-yourself custodial account any parent can open today. Then the method itself: buy what they know, graduate to index funds as they grow, and build the habits that matter more than the money.
Like the other books in this series, the audiobook edition will be narrated by a super intelligence, on purpose. My mom has macular degeneration and cannot read the printed page, so it will be narrated for my mom, and for anyone who needs to listen instead of read. Education, not financial advice.
