Especially if the money won't be needed. Just a thought.
YTD isn't keeping up either. 👌
I've had a Fidelity account for a long time, ever since getting their 2% rebate credit card. I like Fidelity a lot and if it weren't so much hassle, would move my Vanguard money over because I greatly prefer the Fidelity website and account reporting interface.
I agree that I hate the tax reporting from Vanguard. With Fidelity, you will have everything on the same 1099 and easier to track just one custodian. And do it ASAP before any of the Vanguard funds pay dividends so maybe you won't even get a 1099 from them for 2022!
How can I fund my teen's account?
You (parent/guardian) can fund a Youth Account by transferring money from your Fidelity account(s) to your teen's Fidelity account. The account can also be funded by electronic funds transfer (e.g., ACH), wire transfer, mobile check deposit, or US mail check deposit. Transfers or deposits of securities are not permitted. Your teen can also transfer funds from digital payment apps (e.g., Venmo, PayPal, CashApp) to their Youth Account. For ACH transfers, your teen must also be an owner or joint owner of the originating bank account.

The teen runs the account from an app on their mobile device (required to set up the account) and is able to check their balance and do their investing from there. If you're looking for just a simple savings account, this may not be what you're looking for. Highly recommend you check out their FAQ page for more details, because they don't give a lot of info on the initial page.
Not saying this is a bad account to have, but that before jumping in for the extra $50 you should read up on what you're signing up for.

Isn't a 529 pretty worthless if your kid decides not to go to college...? College degrees are becoming more worthless yet more expensive every year.
It's definitely something to be aware of. The penalty for non-education, if I recall, is similar to early withdrawals of a retirement account.
We have them for our kids but we don't invest somewhat modestly in this accounts, not nearly enough to cover all of school. Minimizes out exposure if they don't, and gives us some of the benefits.
I think there are ways to leverage a Roth IRA for college savings if you are eligible to contribute to one, but I don't recall exactly how that works.

Before you begin, have the following handy:
Info about your teen, including birthdate, address, Social Security number, and employment status
Your teen's Social Security card, plus one of the following for identification: a driver's license, passport, birth certificate, or school ID
Trying now to decide have my daughter buy a stock or CD @ 3%.
