Why would they retroactively limit it to people almost 2 years ago. Does she mean after instead of before?

Really like this idea. I don't see any way that government hands are involved in the money invested for retirement and there's no requirement to do it.

Compared to Social Security, this is an infinitely better concept for retirement. SS is a government mandated retirement savings that they rape and pillage regularly and offer very little flexibility on when you decide to use it, and no say in how it is invested for growth.

Anybody see any possible red flags here? Possibly the government requiring index funds of companies who pay to be in it maybe? I'd like to see them harden the language to where it's extremely difficult for future politicians to get their hands in the pot.

This program will be hijacked by the Democrats in short order. Look for those initial investment amounts to increase substantially.

Brad Gerstner has been a huge backer of this for years.

Who decides where the funds are invested?

This is my sticking point.

It has to at a minimum have a Personal Choice option where one can invest freely in Mutual Funds and/or ETF’s.

I opened my company’s PCRA via Schwab long ago and am up 40+% in the last year,

I’d be screwed if I was in the standard baskets of bullshite funds.

How is this not the government printing money and dumping it into the stock market?

3.5M babies per year in the US x $1,000 makes this is $3.6B program annually.

I’m unclear on the tax treatment on the backend. It sounds like this is tax free withdrawal at 25 or 30. If so, excellent…this is effectively an option that allows for savings even earlier in life as no earned income requirement will exist.

I hope this comes to fruition, $5K a year has potential for life changing retirement nest egg.

It says 1,000 initially and 5,000 annually.

It's 1k the first time from the govt. That's it.

Then you have the option to put up to 5k annually yourself. The government does not put this money in.

Most people don't save anything, so this is a giant nothing.

If it's similarly setup like a 529, which has a much higher contribution ceiling.
