A new savings initiative just got announced - every newborn in the U.S. could receive a $1,000 government-funded investment account. The so-called "Trump Accounts" proposal aims to let this initial deposit grow throughout the child's lifetime. Part of broader tax reform talks, this federal program targets long-term wealth building from day one. Curious how compound growth over 18+ years might look on that grand? Early-stage capital for the next generation, government-backed edition.

To be honest, how much is 1,000 yuan worth in 18 years? Inflation eats up in minutes

1,000 pieces of salt? I'm really curious about what compound interest will look like after 18 years

No, a thousand knives sound wonderful, but how many times can it be doubled in 18 years...
