🇺🇸 David Sacks breaks down why Trump Accounts are the best financial move for your kids: "There's certain things that you just have to do. Like if your employer offers a matching 401k, you have to do it because otherwise you're losing out on free money. And in this case, you're getting both. There is the opportunity for the free money for your kids, but also the tax advantage is huge. You can donate up to $5,000 a year to your kid as long as they're under 18. And it's not just you, it's any friends and family or others can contribute as well... And your employer can contribute up to $2,500 tax-free. So at a minimum, you should go to your employer and say, 'sign up for this.'" — David Sacks with Brad Gerstner on @the all-in podcast #davidsacks #bradgerstner #allinpodcast #trumpaccounts #investamerica

Transcript

There's never been anything like this before. They were basically saying, this is like in the top 3. There's certain things that you just have to do. Like if your employer offers a matching 401k, you have to do it because otherwise it's just you're losing out on free money. And in this case, you're getting both. There is the opportunity for, frankly, the free money for your kids, right. But also the tax advantage is huge. Let's just go through this. And Brad, correct me if I get any of this wrong. So you can donate up to $5,000 a year to your kid as long as they're under 18. And it's not just you, it's any friends and family or others can contribute as well, which is new. And then they get tax-free compounding until they're 18 and your employer can contribute up to $2,500 tax-free. So at a minimum, you should go to your employer and say, "Sign up for this." And if you have to take $2,500 out of my salary and make it a donation to my kid's Trump account, because then that's a huge tax savings, right? Neither side has to pay tax on it. So, like Brad said, this is basically like an IRA. You get tax-free compounding. Then when the kid turns 18, they can get access to it. And they can do a rollover into an IRA or into a Roth IRA, which is even better because when the Roth IRA matures, you don't pay tax on the money that gets distributed out of it. Whereas with a traditional IRA, all the taxes get deferred until the end. The difference is that when you do a IRA to a Roth IRA conversion, you're supposed to be taxes at that point. And I saw one really clever CPA say that. Well, the best way to do this is wait till your kid is actually not a dependent anymore. Like, so maybe they're in college or they just graduated from college and they're like the 0% tax bracket because they're not making any money and then do the conversion. And so you'll be able to convert the Trump account very cheaply into a Roth IRA. And now they're going to have $200k - $300k potentially in that account, that they can then do tax-free investing for the rest of their life. Or they could potentially start a company with that. Other things you can do with an IRA is you can use part of the money on a down payment for the first home purchase, or if you get into a health emergency, you can use the money for that. So there's all these things you're allowed to distribute money out of an IRA without incurring a penalty. Generally speaking, the point of an IRA is to save for retirement. And this is where I think it gets really amazing is because if you start with $200k - $300k at age 18, you'll be at $10 million plus by age 60 if you just let it compound. I mean, there's ranges because- There's a lot of nepo babies we're creating here, we're gonna have a lot of rich kids with trust funds. Yeah. So this is like, all you have to do to make sure that your kid is protected for retirement is if you and your family and your friends and your employer can just contribute to their Trump accounts.
