Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.KEAN SEAGER is an investment adviser with four children. He and his wife Janet would put the childrens' pounds 100s into unit trusts.
He says: 'I am Mr Boring Scrooge Sensible. I would go for the M&G Extra Yield as it has a good yield and there is a low minimum investment.'
His eldest son Ben, who is 12, has different ideas. Ben says: 'I would spend the money on board games and computer games. If I had any left I would save it and give a little to charity.
'For my Dad I would buy a wig. We always take the mickey out of him about being bald.'
Lauren, six, says she already has lots of money - 17p. But she would put her pounds 100 towards riding lessons. Jacob, three, would buy toys. Poppy, four months, was the only one who did not disagree with Daddy's financial advice.
