MMAs (no, the other kind)

Higher interest rates

Kids savings: start 'em while they're young

They might be little now, but someday they'll be flying the nest. College. World travels. Maybe even space travel. Either way, you can start saving money gradually over time to prepare for their future and get a debit card for a kid at any age too.
