TACH: Transformative Accounts for Childhood wealth

I am a part of a hangar that puts on Classic Car & Air shows. Pictured here is a classic P-40 Warhawk flown by the famous Flying Tigers out of Burma during WW II

I refer to TRUMP ACCOUNTS as TACH (or Tachometer) because it measures the RPM of the engine, or in this case, measures the Returns Per Month.

Under President Trump’s Administration, a groundbreaking initiative known as TACH—Transformative Accounts for Childhood Wealth, I refer to these accounts as—has been established to build generational prosperity from the very beginning of life.

These accounts, often referred to as Trump Accounts, deliver a $1,000 federal seed deposit for eligible children and open the door for parents, grandparents, relatives, friends, and even corporations to contribute regularly. The result is a powerful vehicle for long-term wealth creation that echoes the transformative impact of the Sonny Montgomery GI Bill, which delivered astronomical returns on investments in veterans’ futures through education and opportunity.

The True Power of Compound Interest

The true magic of TACH lies in compound interest and disciplined investing. Consider a realistic scenario: an initial $1,000 seed deposit followed by consistent $500 monthly contributions from family and supporters into a diversified mutual fund averaging a 15% annual return, compounded monthly over 18 years (216 months). The initial $1,000 grows to $13,406.58. The monthly deposits alone accumulate to $546,537.46. Kids, question- can you even imagine at 18 have a half of a million dollars!

Together, the account reaches an impressive total future value of $559,944.04. This is not theoretical fantasy, it is the predictable outcome of starting early and letting time and compounding do the heavy lifting. Also kids, do the same with your health and fitness where your exercises are like weekly deposits. Read my BAJA FITNESS & MAC DIET where at 68 in the above photograph, I have maintain my age-defying health and fitness.

The Investment that has a 600% Plus Return on your Contributions:

Young people make one of the best contributions to a program that has a 600% Plus return on your monetary and time. I am referring to your Health & Fitness. Either join a gym that has exercise equipment or purchase inexpensive exercise equipment yourself and set up your own home gym like I did in 2014 after I retired.

The equipment can consist of a few dumbbells and elastic tubing at first, then later add a boxing bag and stationary or mountain bike for exercises consisting of both Cardio and Strength Training. I just had back surgery in February of 2026, I had a bone density test performed, a man my age (68) should have a bone density of -1.0 compared to a 30 year old man. My bone density was +1.16 that the technician couldn’t believe.

Also ladies, strength training works your muscles that in turn release a natural growth hormone that contains collage that replaces, rejuvenates, and repairs your cells at a faster rate even over the age of 30, or especially over the age 60.

The photograph to the right, I am at our hangar doing a photoshoot to promote our upcoming classic car & air show that a young lady and I model for every year. Guys this is an interest to you as well, your health & fitness is your best promotion of yourself and your ideas. Think of yourself as a model for a photoshoot. The camera will be your biggest critic of all!

I know all too well the importance of health & fitness at my book signings. My books are available on AMAZON KINDLE:

Beyond the numbers, TACH Accounts

What great about this program is that it instills lifelong financial habits in kids to understand the huge benefits of Capitalism. Children who see their accounts grow become curious about investing, growth, and the power of reinvesting dividends and returns. This early exposure can shift mindsets from short-term spending to long-term building, creating financially literate young adults ready to make smart decisions about education, homeownership, or starting businesses.

My own life offers a living example of this principle. My wise grandfather raised me on the family farm and in the bakery where I worked from a young age. From age eight, he took 20% of my wages and invested them in a mutual fund. Light chores gave way to harder farm work by age twelve and bigger wages, but the investment discipline never wavered.

When I joined the U.S. Army with my friend Donovan Briley after high school (he stayed in service while I returned to civilian construction work), I pursued engineering through night and correspondence classes. Thanks to my grandfather’s foresight, I graduated college completely debt-free—proof that early, consistent investing changes everything.

Take 18- Months and Attend a Community College for a Skill

Here’s another suggestion kids, before just considering college, first take just 18- months and attend a community college for a trade that you can even use either as a second career of hobby, or even both as I have done now retired after 35- years working as a grid engineer with Entergy.

Guys, even I went back to school before I retired to take welding and have never looked back. Ladies there are lady welders also.

The Richest Man in Babylon” by George S. Clason

Parents and grandparents today have an even greater opportunity through TACH. These accounts make it simple for loved ones and institutions to contribute toward a child’s future. To deepen your understanding of wealth-building principles, I strongly recommend reading “The Richest Man in Babylon” by George S. Clason.

Its timeless lessons on saving, investing, and letting money work for you are perfect for every child and parents need to adopt.

Starting a TACH account today, plants seeds that can grow into life-changing financial independence. The $1,000 federal contribution is just the beginning—what families and supporters add can multiply dramatically over 18 years. Give children the gift of compounded wealth and financial wisdom. Believe me when I state your future—and America will thank you just like GI Bill did after World War II.

Also remember this Gen X, Y, and Alpha- Don’t let the Democrats tell you that Socialism is superior to Capitalism. Wherever socialism was installed IT FAILED. Socialism relies on Capitalism, so why have Dems take your money that you worked hard earning!

BIG NEWS of MARIA BARTIROMO SHOW on 08July, 2026

On the Maria Sara Bartiromo Show this morning, Maria interviewed Mr. Bradley Thomas Gerstner, CEO of Altimeter Capital in Boston, Massachusetts, talking about the transformation that these TACH Accounts will have on young adults at age 18. The big news was a retirement private program that once these young adults get to be 18 years old can open a private IRA that they can divert a portion of their Social Security into to add to the TACH Account that can be rolled over. Just a side note: American entrepreneurs like Brad Gerstner are some of the most generous people where he and other CEOs are contributing over $100 Million to these TACH Accounts. Our media often malayalam the very people that have helped build America.

This photograph was taken in June of 2026 where we were just preparing to host our classic car & airshow at our hangar. I am 68 years old in this photo. The motorcycle is my INDIAN Scout Bobber 60, the young lady is one of our pilots. The Corvette in the background is a 1969 Stingray.
