Quote: from ChemicEmotions at 10:06 pm on Jan. 5, 2009 It depends if the parents are even still supporting her, which I doubt (and so they rightfully shouldn't). I couldn't open an account under my parent's name because their credit was so bad lawl so that's also a possibility (and by credit, I mean they would take my money if they didn't pay any of their bills). It's entirely possible. But she only needs her parents to sign, not to be financially supporting her/her child. Even if she's not living with them, I just think they could spare 20 minutes to go down to the bank and sign a few papers. That's all they need to do.

I know my parents wouldn't, but if I got pregnant before marriage they wouldn't even bother to remember my name. So.
It's just a possibility. Not all parents are supportive of everything.
Why can't you open a bank account? There's youth accounts where there's no minimum amount, low ATM fees, etc. If you're not 18 yet, why can't you simply ask your parents to set one up? I can hardly see them saying "No" to you setting up a savings account for your child/their grandchild. IMV, your money is safer in a local bank where you can access it, than in the account of some random company. In most cases, if that company goes under, they're not bound to return your money.

I wanted to just find a company i could send my money to and it will accumalate over timeHow long before you're 18? You can start saving it now and when you turn 18 you can put it in the bank, that way you will have a good starting point. I'm assuming you want to make this a long term thing, maybe for the kids' college or car or something right? So you might as well wait until you're 18. That's what I did anyway. I started to save up when I got a job, then I turned 18 and put all my savings into an account.
