investing for a pre-teen
« on: September 13, 2016, 08:40:34 AM »
our daughter is 12, and has about 1,500$ in a 'mom account'  - her money that I manage virtually for her on an excel spreadsheet and 'earns' interest 10% / year

I'd like soon to move this money to a real account.
She now earns some pocket money from babysitting and also does some paid work in our family business, and I thought this is a good opportunity for opening some investment account for her.
I read that kids can have Roth IRA if they earn money.
Would this be better than other types of custodial accounts that are out there?


 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
