Quote from supertek75 :
Why not a life insurance policy instead? You get a death benefit, a cash value account that grows tax free, you're not limited to using the money for educational purposes, and you can borrow money from it without penalty. Also, when your child applies for financial aid, the cash value in the life insurance won't be factored into the financial aid calculation allowing your child to get more financial aid.
If you have enough assets then life insurance is an inefficient investment vehicle. I have a masters in finance and have spent a lot of time evaluating the cost-benefit analysis. Life insurance is appropriate for some people without enough assets to protect their family if they kick the bucket, but it's definitely not for everyone.

Rich people do this but I think the masses prefer to do the 529 to pay high fees form low quality products
It's clear from this statement that you aren't familiar with 529 options.

I have a niece and nephew where I deposit $1k each every year into a savings account. They are 10 and 7 now. Any recommendations on where to keep their money? The interest rate they get at HSBC is practically nothing. Thanks in advance!

Perhaps CDs? I'd love to know too.

$50 is a drop in the ocean compared to the many benefits of having an app that:
1. Encourages kids to build a strong work ethic by doing chores without reminders, which is a big win for everyone. ✅ 🥳
2. Allows you to set a % for spend, save, give, so when you approve their payday, everything's automatic. 🪣 💵
3. Allows them to use their savings to buy stocks, with your approval, encouraging great discussions along the way. E.g.: My daughter wanted to buy stock in Bumble because she likes bees. 🐝 😆
* Stocks have WAY more potential to grow then a savings account or CD. 💹 🤑

The potential values are endless. Check it out:

On a related note, I would highly highly recommend this book that explains how money works with easy to understand visuals.

Never understood why people do this. Why don't you just set aside the money in your own account and then gift it to them when they become of age? Then you can grow it with any options you like for their entire childhood. Gives you full flexibility and keeps you in control in case the kids don't turn out as you anticipated. My friends nephews grew up in a stem household experiencing golf, piano, and dance only to end up as buskers playing guitar on the street. You just never know.

There are gifting limits but you can get around those by gifting to the limit in multiple years if you are only looking at 1k each year. Someone of age will need the money a lot more as an adult compared to as a child.

Quote from eliteconcept :
Why even make it optional? My 11 yr old has had one (savings acct) for 7 years now... he knows that for Christmas and birthday money he spends half and saves half. He's got over 2k at this point and knows he can't touch it till he starts driving... even then it'll be emergency need only. Though we did give him alot of the money we got for him from stimulus money. His 4 year old sister is doing the same thing. Need to move them into money markets or something but I'm not overly worried about it.

Teaching your kids about finance and investing from an early age is great parenting, and something all parents should be doing. Unfortunately, a lot of parents never learned how themselves. Good on you, sir.

Quote from big_wake :
Open one. If you already use a low cost provider like Vanguard, then just put a small token amount into your Fidelity account. If you don't have a brokerage account anywhere, then you definitely want this. Even if you don't have extra funds to put into it, set it up initially with a very small weekly or monthly auto deposit.

Most other savings and debit card options for teens are rip-offs. This is a really good option and pretty most won't cost anything.

Does it have to be a brokerage account, or cash management account?
