The Dells understand what so many families are working toward: a better financial future for the next generation. A gift today can mean opportunity tomorrow. Whether that future includes college, a small business, or something still unfolding, the earlier we start investing in our children, the more doors we open.

At UNest, we share that mission. We believe every child deserves a strong financial foundation. Our UTMA custodial accounts are built to help families start small, stay consistent, and support their child’s goals, whatever they may be.

Kudos to the Dells for showing the power of early action. And to every parent making small monthly contributions - your gift matters, too.

You can give children money that can accumulate somewhat tax-free over time... I love them (UTMAs) because they were like, trusts that you didn't need lawyers to create.... I think it's one of the better tax breaks around though. I know hunting for tax breaks may not sound very exciting, but that's how you take care of your family.
