  • My #1 Tip to Make Your Kid a Millionaire

    My #1 Tip to Make Your Kid a Millionaire
    Jul 28 2026

    “One of the most advantageous things that exists in the U.S. tax code is a Roth IRA for a minor.”

    In this episode of the Sunlight Tax Podcast, I’m discussing the benefits of tax-advantaged savings for children, specifically focusing on a Roth IRA for kids. I explain how parents can open a custodial Roth IRA for their kids, the advantages of a Roth IRA, and the importance of teaching children about compound interest and financial literacy.

    This episode also emphasizes the long-term benefits of starting early with investments and how this can empower the next generation financially.

    Also mentioned in today’s episode:

    00:32 The concept of tax-advantaged savings for kids

    01:02 What is a custodial Roth IRA and why it’s beneficial

    01:58 How kids with summer jobs can start investing

    02:53 Difference between traditional and Roth IRA explained

    04:18 Advantages of Roth IRA for minors and future tax benefits

    07:15 Why kids’ low income makes Roth IRA especially advantageous

    08:40 Teaching kids about compound interest and investment growth

    11:08 Resources for learning about compound interest and investing

    13:03 Empowering the next generation with financial tools

    I hope this 3-part series on investing for your kid(s) helps you understand your options. If you missed the first two, here they are:

    1. Trump Accounts explainer (if your kid was born in 2025, 2026 or you’re planning for one in 2027 or 2028, please get the FREE $1000 you are entitled to)
