A personal finance podcaster is aiming to make her toddler a millionaire by age 18 through aggressive early savings and investment accounts, a plan she details to her online audience.

Jannese Torres, host of the Yo Quiero Dinero podcast, has set a goal of building a seven-figure nest egg for her 15-month-old daughter[1][2]. The child has already accumulated roughly $13,000 across several accounts, including a 529 college savings plan, a brokerage investment account, and a Roth IRA[1][2]. Torres plans to save $2,000 per month for the next 17 years to reach the million-dollar target[1][2]. She emphasizes the critical importance of starting to save early to harness the power of compound interest[1][2]. To fund the Roth IRA, which requires earned income, the toddler receives a $625 modeling fee when featured in her mother's social media content[1][2]. Torres also advocates for using 529 accounts for a wide range of educational purposes beyond a traditional four-year college degree[1][2]. She shares her strategies with her followers, framing the effort as a way to provide her daughter with financial options she herself did not have growing up[1][2].
