Agree, and with a little planning, make a bit of money on top of it with wise investing. I get a 'free' trade for my birthday and will use that to top up my account with another investment. Remember, next year, for those who have two accounts... you will, according to the CSR, be allowed to open either a joint or custodial investment account and that will count as a hit.
