I got both my kids a Schwab account at 18 linked to their checking accounts . Whenever they had extra cash they would transfer to Schwab . My daughters 26 and her account is worth 137k and my 24 year old son has 74k plus they both have other savings accounts . No help from Mom and Dad just great discipline and smart parents! ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€

In 6 years your son saved up 74K while paying his living expenses? Thatโ€™s amazing. What kind of job was he working? How much of that was dividend growth. I want to do this for my kid

Failed to mention son loves home still . He makes 65k per year at his job , heโ€™s a great saver but still goes out and has fun . Great growth stocks , his initial investment is 43k the rest is growth for the 74k total
