Trump Accounts, Custodial Accounts, and 529 Plans: What To Know and How To Choose
A new savings vehicle dubbed 'Trump Accounts' would provide $1,000 in seed funding for children born between 2025 and 2028, according to one financial firm's analysis[1], while travelers can find last-minute hotel deals, though often with strict terms.
The proposed Trump Accounts would automatically convert into traditional Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) in the child's name upon turning 18[1]. For more flexible savings, parents can consider established options like 529 plans, which are tax-deductible in some states and can be used for K-12 education, vocational school, and student loans[1]. Custodial accounts, which have no contribution limits, offer another alternative, as funds can be used for any purpose after the age of transfer, typically 18 or 21[1]. Parents can mix and match these accounts to meet their family's unique needs[1].
For spontaneous travel, the HotelTonight app specializes in last-minute bookings for unsold rooms at discounted rates[2]. In a price comparison for same-day bookings in one author's hometown, 63% of HotelTonight listings were cheaper than the same properties on Booking.com[2]. However, most reservations made through the platform are nonrefundable and cannot be changed once booked[2]. The hotel selection is also more limited compared to other major booking sites[2].
