Trump Accounts are one of the newest ways families can invest for a child’s future- but where do they fit alongside 529 plans, Roth IRAs, and traditional savings accounts? Financial advisor Marc Werkmeister joins the Nebraskaland Bank Podcast to explain how these accounts work, who can contribute, the potential tax implications, and what happens when the child turns 18.
