R. A. s whenever you inherit a retirement 98 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:17,960 Suze: account 99 00:06:18,510 --> 00:06:21,690 Suze: and you're anybody other than a spouse, 100 00:06:22,420 --> 00:06:26,260 Suze: then you have a whole separate set of rules that 101 00:06:26,260 --> 00:06:29,340 Suze: you have to follow. And that's what I've been doing 102 00:06:29,339 --> 00:06:34,070 Suze: podcasts on recently. But again, we won't really know the 103 00:06:34,070 --> 00:06:35,710 Suze: exact rules 104 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,580 Suze: that have happened now as of February of this year, 105 00:06:38,580 --> 00:06:41,580 Suze: according to the Secure Act until sometime at the end 106 00:06:41,580 --> 00:06:42,159 Suze: of this year 107 00:06:42,170 --> 00:06:43,240 Suze: and how 108 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:44,600 Suze: it's going to work. 109 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,760 KT: And that's exactly what Lisa said. She said as I understand, Suze, 110 00:06:48,770 --> 00:06:52,390 KT: we should wait till the end of 2022 to see 111 00:06:52,390 --> 00:06:53,630 KT: how this is dealt with. 112 00:06:53,630 --> 00:06:56,370 Suze: Yeah, I got it. Right. But yes, a SEP IRA, 401k, 113 00:06:58,410 --> 00:07:02,000 Suze: 403 B and you inherit them. They're all treated the same. 114 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:03,060 Suze: All right. 115 00:07:03,430 --> 00:07:07,610 KT: Next question is from Sharon. Hi Suze and KT, you 116 00:07:07,610 --> 00:07:11,060 KT: guys are the best! I love listening to you, 117 00:07:11,070 --> 00:07:11,910 Suze: Even though we talk about fishing? 118 00:07:12,490 --> 00:07:15,690 KT: Do you do you have a podcast where you will 119 00:07:15,690 --> 00:07:20,170 KT: talk about funding a trust not fishing a trust, funding 120 00:07:20,170 --> 00:07:23,660 KT: and trust. I've been stuck at that point in the 121 00:07:23,660 --> 00:07:26,950 KT: will and trust kit. I know the confusion is probably in 122 00:07:26,950 --> 00:07:29,180 KT: my own mind but please help me get past it. 123 00:07:29,190 --> 00:07:30,910 KT: Can I say something Suze? 124 00:07:31,140 --> 00:07:34,420 KT: Tell people what it means to fund a trust. 125 00:07:34,430 --> 00:07:39,380 Suze: Sharon and everybody else as you know, we have something 126 00:07:39,380 --> 00:07:42,970 Suze: called the Must Have Documents and these are the four 127 00:07:42,970 --> 00:07:46,800 Suze: documents that in my opinion you must have a living 128 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,110 Suze: revocable trust in advanced directive and durable power 129 00:07:50,210 --> 00:07:53,360 Suze: attorney for health care, a will and a power of 130 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:58,020 Suze: attorney for finances and you all should have those. And 131 00:07:58,020 --> 00:08:01,740 Suze: the problem is that when you go to an attorney 132 00:08:01,750 --> 00:08:06,920 Suze: to get them, they could easily cost you $2500-$5,000. So 133 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:11,030 Suze: over 20 some odd years ago I decided I was 134 00:08:11,030 --> 00:08:15,360 Suze: going to make these documents available to everybody at a 135 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,590 Suze: price that they could afford. 136 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:22,530 Suze: And that started on QVC, HSN and we've sold tens 137 00:08:22,530 --> 00:08:25,460 Suze: of millions of these over the years that we allow 138 00:08:25,460 --> 00:08:29,030 Suze: everybody to share them with your family members updates are 139 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,390 Suze: all free. And again, if it's something that you're interested 140 00:08:32,390 --> 00:08:37,599 Suze: in they are currently selling for $99 on Suze Orman dot 141 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,579 Suze: com slash offer and you can pick them up there. 142 00:08:41,590 --> 00:08:42,330 Suze: Now 143 00:08:43,050 --> 00:08:46,720 Suze: we are having an update just so you know that 144 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:51,610 Suze: will come out sometime next year. We're funding the trust. 145 00:08:51,610 --> 00:08:55,990 Suze: Sharon will all be so much easier. I can't even 146 00:08:55,990 --> 00:08:59,520 Suze: begin to tell you. But remember I've told all of 147 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,450 Suze: you that once you buy one of these programs from 148 00:09:02,450 --> 00:09:06,820 Suze: me and the update that we have, you get automatically 149 00:09:06,820 --> 00:09:09,300 Suze: for free, we don't charge you again. 150 00:09:09,650 --> 00:09:13,420 Suze: So I just want you all to know that because 151 00:09:13,420 --> 00:09:16,670 Suze: I'm sure this isn't the only person who has problems 152 00:09:16,670 --> 00:09:21,380 Suze: with understanding what funding the trust is. It's very easy 153 00:09:21,380 --> 00:09:25,960 Suze: to create a document. You just go through the computer screen, 154 00:09:25,970 --> 00:09:29,900 Suze: you answer all the questions and everything and then it 155 00:09:29,900 --> 00:09:32,910 Suze: prints out for you, it gives you instructions that you 156 00:09:32,910 --> 00:09:36,069 Suze: should have it notarized as well as witnessed and then 157 00:09:36,070 --> 00:09:38,350 Suze: it tells you you need to fund the trust. 158 00:09:38,610 --> 00:09:42,090 Suze: Normally Sharon, you go back into the program after that 159 00:09:42,100 --> 00:09:45,780 Suze: and there will be a little section that says funding 160 00:09:45,780 --> 00:09:50,270 Suze: the trust. You click on it, you then enter what 161 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,640 Suze: assets you own. Do you own a piece of real estate? 162 00:09:53,710 --> 00:09:56,040 Suze: Do you own a bank account? Do you own a 163 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,809 Suze: regular savings account? You click everything that you own? It's 164 00:09:59,809 --> 00:10:04,320 Suze: very simple. And then you print out the funding documents 165 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:08,130 Suze: that are needed for each one of those entities. 166 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,140 Suze: So that's how you would do it. Now, why do 167 00:10:11,140 --> 00:10:12,810 Suze: you have to fund a trust 168 00:10:13,410 --> 00:10:17,050 Suze: when you own an asset in your own individual name. 169 00:10:17,270 --> 00:10:19,750 Suze: I own my own home and it's in the title 170 00:10:19,750 --> 00:10:20,830 Suze: of Suze Orman 171 00:10:21,550 --> 00:10:27,660 Suze: and I die and I leave that home to KT 172 00:10:27,700 --> 00:10:30,790 Suze: via a will. KT is going to have to go 173 00:10:30,790 --> 00:10:34,890 Suze: through probate to inherit that. If you own it in 174 00:10:34,890 --> 00:10:39,179 Suze: the name of the trust. If I die and KT 175 00:10:39,179 --> 00:10:44,870 Suze: is my beneficiary, she automatically inherits it. Why? Because when 176 00:10:44,870 --> 00:10:47,800 Suze: you have a living revocable trust 177 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,620 Suze: you have to change the title of your assets from 178 00:10:52,620 --> 00:10:58,360 Suze: your individual name into the title of the trust. So 179 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,089 Suze: my home would no longer be Suze Orman on the title. 180 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:06,150 Suze: It would be Suze Orman trustee for the Suze Orman 181 00:11:06,150 --> 00:11:08,140 Suze: Living Revocable Trust. 182 00:11:08,790 --> 00:11:13,860 Suze: When I do that, I have then funded the trust. 183 00:11:14,010 --> 00:11:18,309 Suze: I have then taken the asset the piece of real estate. 184 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,950 Suze: And I've transferred it into the title of the trust. 185 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,030 Suze: Obviously if it's a piece of real estate I have 186 00:11:26,030 --> 00:11:29,420 Suze: to go down to the title company and change it there. 187 00:11:29,790 --> 00:11:32,570 Suze: If it's a bank account I then take the form 188 00:11:32,570 --> 00:11:34,960 Suze: that you will print out. Take it to the bank 189 00:11:34,970 --> 00:11:38,360 Suze: and change the title for my individual name into the 190 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,850 Suze: title of the trust. You'll have to bring the trust 191 00:11:40,850 --> 00:11:44,650 Suze: with you and show them the document. It's really just 192 00:11:44,660 --> 00:11:45,770 Suze: that simple. 193 00:11:46,410 --> 00:11:51,599 Suze: Otherwise you have what's called an empty trust. So you 194 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,990 Suze: have to fund your trust to make sure all your 195 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,790 Suze: assets pass without probate. 196 00:11:58,510 --> 00:12:00,530 KT: Okay in essence it's a name change 197 00:12:01,090 --> 00:12:03,240 Suze: Why didn't you just say so? 198 00:12:04,100 --> 00:12:07,920 KT: I think I think people get mixed up and they 199 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,010 KT: think funding means they put money in a trust. You 200 00:12:11,010 --> 00:12:14,459 KT: don't you change the title, you change the name and 201 00:12:14,460 --> 00:12:18,350 KT: that's called funding when you simply change the name. Alright, 202 00:12:18,350 --> 00:12:18,679 KT: here we go 203 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,520 Suze: So smart, so smart. 204 00:12:21,530 --> 00:12:25,340 KT: So this is from Andrea: I'm getting close to the 205 00:12:25,340 --> 00:12:30,429 KT: age where I will need to start withdrawing RDMs from 206 00:12:30,429 --> 00:12:32,510 KT: my 403 B.

Andrea 215 00:13:02,670 --> 00:13:05,660 KT: What is your recommendation Suze? 216 00:13:05,660 --> 00:13:11,000 Suze: Yeah. If I had a place that was guaranteeing me 4.5% 217 00:13:11,010 --> 00:13:16,320 Suze: on my money. Okay. And I knew that was true 218 00:13:16,330 --> 00:13:18,680 Suze: and I could take out any amount of money I 219 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,860 Suze: wanted during that time, 220 00:13:21,230 --> 00:13:24,630 Suze: I would not be doing an index annuity at all 221 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,510 Suze: to guarantee me income for the rest of the time 222 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,160 Suze: because there's no way they're going to be able to 223 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:34,969 Suze: guarantee you right now 4.5% and it may be as 224 00:13:34,980 --> 00:13:39,630 Suze: interest rates go up that Andrea maybe your 403 B 225 00:13:39,630 --> 00:13:44,219 Suze: will absolutely offer you a higher interest rate than 4.5%. 226 00:13:44,230 --> 00:13:47,290 Suze: So right now I would just leave it exactly like 227 00:13:47,300 --> 00:13:48,300 Suze: it is. 228 00:13:49,010 --> 00:13:50,930 KT: Here we go. Next question is from Linda. 229 00:13:51,340 --> 00:13:56,950 KT: Hi Suze and KT. Do you recommend reinvesting dividends for E. T. F. S. 230 00:13:56,950 --> 00:14:00,860 KT: And stocks? I'm 65. I don't need to draw any 231 00:14:00,870 --> 00:14:06,390 KT: income from my portfolio until 72. Or should I be 232 00:14:06,390 --> 00:14:09,030 KT: putting the dividends into cash? 233 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:09,949 Suze: Good question. 234 00:14:10,570 --> 00:14:11,590 KT: That's a good question. 235 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:16,699 Suze: Well, Linda I love Dividend Reinvestment Programs. They're called DRIPS. 236 00:14:16,710 --> 00:14:22,180 Suze: I love when I'm invested. Yeah, dividend Reinvestment program, 237 00:14:22,180 --> 00:14:23,360 KT: drips drips. 238 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,070 Suze: We did this podcast before. 239 00:14:25,310 --> 00:14:26,580 KT: I remember DRIP 240 00:14:26,590 --> 00:14:28,450 Suze: DRIP. She likes that DRIP. 241 00:14:28,950 --> 00:14:34,490 Suze: So I really like when dividends get reinvested because for 242 00:14:34,490 --> 00:14:38,770 Suze: instance if something is paying you, let's just say 5% 243 00:14:38,780 --> 00:14:42,230 Suze: of the dividend and now they paid you that dividend 244 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,600 Suze: and you put it back into the E. T. F. 245 00:14:44,610 --> 00:14:49,210 Suze: Or the stock then that starts to earn 5% as well. 246 00:14:49,220 --> 00:14:53,990 Suze: So your money starts to compound at 5%. Obviously the 247 00:14:53,990 --> 00:14:56,720 Suze: value can go up, the value can go down depending 248 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:57,900 Suze: on the stock market 249 00:14:58,020 --> 00:15:01,260 Suze: but overall I think it's a really good time to 250 00:15:01,260 --> 00:15:04,740 Suze: be doing that. Especially if you have 5,6,7 years till 251 00:15:04,740 --> 00:15:06,960 Suze: you're going to be using this money. Okay 252 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:12,120 KT: Good.  This is from Blanca.

My parents have told me several 254 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,830 KT: times they want to add my sister and I to 255 00:15:19,830 --> 00:15:23,540 KT: the title of their house. They live in Miami. Do 256 00:15:23,540 --> 00:15:25,860 KT: you think we need a lawyer for this? 257 00:15:26,310 --> 00:15:29,330 KT: I'm not sure where to begin to help my parents 258 00:15:29,330 --> 00:15:31,410 KT: and this is from blanca. What should she do? 259 00:15:31,420 --> 00:15:36,510 Suze: You should convince your parents to absolutely not add anybody's 260 00:15:36,510 --> 00:15:38,630 Suze: name to the title of their home. 261 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,240 Suze: And I've told you all this over and over again. 262 00:15:42,250 --> 00:15:47,400 Suze: Remember when you add the name to a title, you're 263 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:51,550 Suze: gifting them your cost basis in that house as well. 264 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,210 Suze: If they bought that house a number of years ago 265 00:15:54,220 --> 00:16:00,670 Suze: for $300,000, then your cost basis would be $300,000 on 266 00:16:00,670 --> 00:16:01,390 Suze: that home. 267 00:16:01,860 --> 00:16:04,390 Suze: As time goes on, let's say that house is now 268 00:16:04,390 --> 00:16:09,220 Suze: worth $1.3 million which it absolutely could be. If they 269 00:16:09,220 --> 00:16:13,010 Suze: were to die and you inherited that home, you would 270 00:16:13,010 --> 00:16:16,680 Suze: get a step up in basis on it of $1.3 million. 271 00:16:16,690 --> 00:16:20,390 Suze: You turn around and sell it, no income tax whatsoever. 272 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:25,240 Suze: If they put anybody's name on that house, you get 273 00:16:25,250 --> 00:16:28,650 Suze: the cost basis on that house as well and you 274 00:16:28,650 --> 00:16:30,270 Suze: don't want that. Also, 275 00:16:30,690 --> 00:16:34,490 Suze: if they add your name and your sister's name to 276 00:16:34,490 --> 00:16:37,720 Suze: that house and one of you is in a car 277 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:43,300 Suze: accident where you have seriously injured or killed somebody. It's 278 00:16:43,300 --> 00:16:46,270 Suze: public record that you own that house, don't think a 279 00:16:46,270 --> 00:16:49,430 Suze: lawyer won't come and sue you to get the value 280 00:16:49,430 --> 00:16:53,380 Suze: of that house that you own. So therefore the best 281 00:16:53,380 --> 00:16:56,610 Suze: thing you can do for them is set them up 282 00:16:56,620 --> 00:16:59,540 Suze: in the living revocable trust that must have documents that 283 00:16:59,540 --> 00:17:00,220 Suze: we have 284 00:17:00,850 --> 00:17:04,590 Suze: and put the house in the title of the trust. 285 00:17:04,630 --> 00:17:08,180 Suze: So it's for their benefit while they're alive, your benefit 286 00:17:08,190 --> 00:17:11,170 Suze: after they've died, they die. You get a step up 287 00:17:11,170 --> 00:17:14,000 Suze: in basis. It doesn't go through probate, you get it 288 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,700 Suze: two weeks later. It's fabulous. And if they become incapacitated, 289 00:17:18,710 --> 00:17:22,240 Suze: you can sign for them. You can help them. It's 290 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,359 Suze: really what you need to do. Putting your names on 291 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,680 Suze: the home is the biggest mistake they will ever make. 292 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:33,260 KT: Good Blanca. You got that right. Okay.

Larry 357 00:20:45,810 --> 00:20:46,720 Suze: might not like it. 358 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,720 KT: This next question is from Gloria. 359 00:20:48,740 --> 00:20:53,090 KT: Hi, I bought I Bonds this June and July rate 360 00:20:53,090 --> 00:20:58,270 KT: changes in November. Do I get the 9.62 for six 361 00:20:58,270 --> 00:21:02,100 KT: months from purchase date or adjust to a new rate 362 00:21:02,100 --> 00:21:03,350 KT: November one. 363 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:08,830 Suze: So Gloria the I Bond rate was set in May 364 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:14,980 Suze: of this year at 9.62%. So you get six months 365 00:21:15,020 --> 00:21:18,129 Suze: of that or 4.81 366 00:21:18,310 --> 00:21:25,520 Suze: from June until December and July until January when those 367 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,689 Suze: six months mature, whatever the new rate is that is 368 00:21:29,690 --> 00:21:34,270 Suze: set in November of this year. You will get that rate. 369 00:21:34,270 --> 00:21:38,590 Suze: But remember it's only for six months because I bond 370 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:43,280 Suze: interest rates change every six months. So it is from 371 00:21:43,290 --> 00:21:45,699 Suze: the date of purchase. Alright, 372 00:21:45,710 --> 00:21:48,160 KT: Alright next question is from Joe. 373 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,540 KT: Hi Joe. I like to get these questions. Hi Suze 374 00:21:53,540 --> 00:21:58,100 KT: and KT. I'm hooked on your podcast and listen every 375 00:21:58,100 --> 00:22:02,690 KT: week I've been a tv and a book fan for years. 376 00:22:02,700 --> 00:22:06,520 KT: I have an Alliant Savings account received my $100 bonus. 377 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:07,460 KT: Thank you Suze 378 00:22:09,190 --> 00:22:10,080 Suze: Perfect. 379 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:15,460 KT: Have a Roth IRA, I bond and no debt. Quick question. 380 00:22:15,470 --> 00:22:19,170 KT: A few years ago I opened a HELOC which is 381 00:22:19,170 --> 00:22:22,340 KT: now paid off in full. I will not need to 382 00:22:22,340 --> 00:22:26,170 KT: use it again as I have a 12-month emergency fund. 383 00:22:26,180 --> 00:22:29,820 KT: I have a $50,000 line of credit. 384 00:22:30,020 --> 00:22:33,290 KT: I also pay my credit cards in full every month. 385 00:22:33,300 --> 00:22:35,030 KT: So literally I have no debt. 386 00:22:36,060 --> 00:22:36,560 Suze: But 387 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,050 KT: here's his, he also owns his home outright. But here's 388 00:22:39,050 --> 00:22:43,950 KT: his question. Would turning off that amount of available credit 389 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,179 KT: hurt my Fico score. 390 00:22:46,350 --> 00:22:50,040 Suze: No Joe. I like that they rhyme together. So Joe 391 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,969 Suze: just keep your HELOC open. It doesn't cost you anything. 392 00:22:52,980 --> 00:22:55,540 Suze: You never know in case of emergency that you might 393 00:22:55,540 --> 00:22:57,939 Suze: want to use it. Who knows what can happen in life. 394 00:22:57,950 --> 00:23:01,930 Suze: Just keep it open and don't worry about it. Next KT. 395 00:23:01,940 --> 00:23:04,379 KT: So Suze, I have another HELOC question 396 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:09,080 KT: Hi Suze and KT. Thanks for giving us the regular podcast. 397 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,640 KT: I look forward to every Thursday and Sunday to listen. 398 00:23:12,650 --> 00:23:17,220 KT: I did put 40 K in I Bonds 10-K. Each for 399 00:23:17,220 --> 00:23:19,730 KT: every family member and thanks for the 400 00:23:19,740 --> 00:23:23,190 KT: master class you gave. If I want to put more 401 00:23:23,190 --> 00:23:26,420 KT: I bonds of 10,000 as a gift for my minor 402 00:23:26,420 --> 00:23:29,910 KT: daughter who is 15 years old. Would it be a 403 00:23:29,910 --> 00:23:34,270 KT: good idea to tap my HELOC which has an interest 404 00:23:34,270 --> 00:23:40,680 KT: rate as of now at 3.25% due to my great 405 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,350 KT: credit score and use that money to buy. I bonds 406 00:23:44,350 --> 00:23:47,970 KT: where I will be making around 10%. Hmm. 407 00:23:48,250 --> 00:23:49,010 KT: I am not sure 408 00:23:49,010 --> 00:23:49,820 Suze: That have been your quizze. 409 00:23:50,430 --> 00:23:55,660 KT: No, wait, wait. Well I don't know about this. Suze, 410 00:23:55,660 --> 00:23:58,160 KT: I don't, I don't know if you take one out 411 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,450 KT: of one to make more interest in another. 412 00:24:01,900 --> 00:24:05,030 KT: So Suze, I can't answer that question. I have no 413 00:24:05,030 --> 00:24:09,470 KT: clue whether you should borrow money to then buy money 414 00:24:09,470 --> 00:24:10,970 KT: to make a higher interest. 415 00:24:10,970 --> 00:24:12,840 Suze: A lot of people do that all the time. They 416 00:24:12,850 --> 00:24:16,189 Suze: borrow money from their brokerage account to buy on margin 417 00:24:16,190 --> 00:24:19,429 Suze: to make more money or lose even more. So here's the 418 00:24:19,430 --> 00:24:23,470 Suze: bottom line. Everybody you are not and I repeat, you 419 00:24:23,470 --> 00:24:27,010 Suze: are not to borrow money from a home equity line 420 00:24:27,010 --> 00:24:27,820 Suze: of credit, 421 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:32,899 Suze: just in order to buy an I Bond . Remember you 422 00:24:32,900 --> 00:24:36,629 Suze: cannot touch the I Bond for at least one year. 423 00:24:36,790 --> 00:24:42,410 Suze: From years 2-5. There is a three-month interest penalty. What 424 00:24:42,410 --> 00:24:45,210 Suze: if inflation does start to go down and all of 425 00:24:45,210 --> 00:24:47,320 Suze: a sudden the interest rates that we think they're going 426 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,030 Suze: to pay, they don't pay. 427 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,120 Suze: And with the penalty and everything for the next five 428 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,790 Suze: years it's actually under what you're paying on your HELOC 429 00:24:56,369 --> 00:24:59,260 Suze: because it's the feds continue to raise interest rates. I 430 00:24:59,260 --> 00:25:02,030 Suze: don't care what your Fico score is. It's gonna go 431 00:25:02,030 --> 00:25:07,780 Suze: from 3.5 to 4.5 to 5 to 6. Are you crazy? 432 00:25:07,790 --> 00:25:10,379 Suze: So no, you are not to do that under any 433 00:25:10,380 --> 00:25:12,830 Suze: circumstances whatsoever. 434 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:17,090 KT: So next question is from Robin, Suze. I was curious 435 00:25:17,100 --> 00:25:21,200 KT: if you are invested in I bonds. I like this. 436 00:25:21,210 --> 00:25:23,560 KT: I actually I don't like this and the U. S. 437 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,210 KT: Government God forbid goes bankrupt. 438 00:25:26,890 --> 00:25:31,180 KT: How safe is your investment then? What recourse do you have? 439 00:25:31,190 --> 00:25:34,470 KT: Are these bonds federally insured? 440 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,160 Suze: So that's very sweet. 441 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,280 KT: I mean, this is actually people wonder about these. 442 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,760 Suze: They should wonder about that. You know, Robin, when you 443 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,430 Suze: study to be a financial advisor, you're taught that there's 444 00:25:46,430 --> 00:25:51,369 Suze: only one investment that you can use the word guaranteed 445 00:25:51,380 --> 00:25:52,240 Suze: with 446 00:25:52,580 --> 00:25:57,170 Suze: and that is with a Treasury Bill Bond or note 447 00:25:57,180 --> 00:26:03,490 Suze: a Treasury issued by the United States Government because it's 448 00:26:03,500 --> 00:26:07,770 Suze: guaranteed by the authority of the United States Government or 449 00:26:07,770 --> 00:26:10,820 Suze: another way to think about it. Of the taxing authority 450 00:26:10,830 --> 00:26:14,379 Suze: of the United States Government. So if the government gets 451 00:26:14,380 --> 00:26:18,360 Suze: in trouble, they will simply raise taxes on every single 452 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:19,189 Suze: person 453 00:26:19,609 --> 00:26:23,090 Suze: to raise that money to be able to pay you back. 454 00:26:23,100 --> 00:26:29,109 Suze: So all treasuries are the safest investment bar. None. 455 00:26:29,500 --> 00:26:30,990 KT: But they're not insured right? 456 00:26:32,020 --> 00:26:37,139 Suze: No, but it's guaranteed. Listen insurance F. D. I. C. Insurance, 457 00:26:37,150 --> 00:26:39,870 Suze: we don't know what would happen honestly if there was 458 00:26:39,869 --> 00:26:43,620 Suze: a total major, major, major collapse. Let's hope they all 459 00:26:43,619 --> 00:26:46,670 Suze: have that money there. But if I were gonna pick 460 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,160 Suze: which is safer, 461 00:26:48,540 --> 00:26:54,530 Suze: right? Insurance or the Treasuries it would be the Treasuries. Alright, KT, 462 00:26:55,680 --> 00:27:01,199 Suze: this is your quizzie . So this one is from Sarah. 463 00:27:01,210 --> 00:27:02,470 Suze: Very 464 00:27:02,470 --> 00:27:03,540 Suze: simple question. 465 00:27:04,109 --> 00:27:08,270 Suze: Can I loan a sum of money to family members 466 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:13,480 Suze: without charging interest? Think about it everybody. Now remember KT 467 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:17,440 Suze: don't answer yet. This isn't just KT's quizzie.

See that I'm 479 00:27:51,340 --> 00:27:52,729 KT: saying give 480 00:27:53,070 --> 00:27:58,080 Suze: I'm asking you can you loan somebody money a family member, 481 00:27:58,090 --> 00:28:02,679 Suze: a non family member without charging them interest yes or no. 482 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:03,879 KT: Yes. 483 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:09,210 KT: So wait because i it's a loan versus giving them. 484 00:28:09,220 --> 00:28:14,880 Suze: No. Alright. So when you make a loan, the I. R. S. 485 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,350 Suze: Says not only should you have it in writing, but 486 00:28:18,350 --> 00:28:23,310 Suze: you have got to charge an interest rate because otherwise 487 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,830 Suze: it is considered a gift. 488 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:27,600 KT: What is a promissory note? 489 00:28:27,930 --> 00:28:31,850 Suze: A promissory note says it's a loan document that says, 490 00:28:31,859 --> 00:28:35,180 Suze: I promise to pay you back in a specific amount 491 00:28:35,180 --> 00:28:37,920 Suze: of time, a specific amount of money at this much 492 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:38,920 Suze: of an interest rate. 493 00:28:38,930 --> 00:28:42,230 KT: What if there is no interest rate on a promissory note, 494 00:28:42,230 --> 00:28:46,100 Suze: Then it's a gift because every single one of us, 495 00:28:46,100 --> 00:28:52,500 Suze: Katie has the ability to give anybody we want $16,000 496 00:28:52,500 --> 00:28:56,160 Suze: a year currently without any taxes to them. 497 00:28:56,340 --> 00:28:59,490 Suze: And it's not coming off of our estate gift tax. 498 00:28:59,500 --> 00:29:04,610 Suze: Our unified gift tax credit above $16,000. It comes off 499 00:29:04,620 --> 00:29:08,150 Suze: our unified gift tax credit, which is currently about 12 500 00:29:08,150 --> 00:29:12,920 Suze: million for each person. But no, you have to charge interest. 501 00:29:12,930 --> 00:29:16,260 Suze: And if the government finds out about it, they'll consider 502 00:29:16,260 --> 00:29:20,110 Suze: it a gift. All right. Also, chances are if you're 503 00:29:20,110 --> 00:29:22,160 Suze: lending money to a family member 504 00:29:22,300 --> 00:29:25,490 Suze: you're giving them a gift whether you know it or not. 505 00:29:25,500 --> 00:29:29,110 Suze: So my advice to you seriously would be 506 00:29:30,020 --> 00:29:33,390 Suze: if you're going to give them money or loan them money, 507 00:29:33,700 --> 00:29:35,920 Suze: I would do it as a gift. 508 00:29:36,700 --> 00:29:39,840 Suze: And the hopes that they do pay you back one day. 509 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:44,120 Suze: And if they don't not their problem, you gave it 510 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:48,120 Suze: to them. Otherwise it is going to come between you 511 00:29:48,130 --> 00:29:50,110 Suze: whether you know it or not 512 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:57,229 Suze: and be very careful about lending family members money. We never, ever, 513 00:29:57,270 --> 00:29:59,320 Suze: ever do we, KT do that. 514 00:29:59,330 --> 00:30:04,080 KT: No, we gift. We never ever make a loan. Ever, ever. 515 00:30:04,150 --> 00:30:06,760 KT: Not even with friends. We we never make love 516 00:30:06,770 --> 00:30:12,219 Suze: period. Somebody really needs money. Here it is. If you 517 00:30:12,220 --> 00:30:13,709 Suze: can pay us back 518 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:14,560 KT: if you 519 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,670 Suze: can't so be it. Don't worry about it. If you're 520 00:30:17,670 --> 00:30:21,010 Suze: not in that position, do not do it. Do not 521 00:30:21,010 --> 00:30:23,910 Suze: do it. Do not do it. All right. That brings 522 00:30:23,910 --> 00:30:28,870 Suze: us to the end of a pretty non fishy. 523 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:31,740 KT: I'm not telling 524 00:30:31,740 --> 00:30:34,560 KT: you anything Larry, am I going to tell you anymore? 525 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,130 Suze: Just yesterday 526 00:30:37,140 --> 00:30:41,470 KT: Yesterday we caught 30 fish. It was an all day 527 00:30:41,470 --> 00:30:45,520 KT: event and we were trying to really gather as much 528 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,670 KT: as we could because we have a big family gathering 529 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:53,420 KT: to feed. So we had 12 Yellowtail and I think 530 00:30:53,420 --> 00:30:54,700 KT: we had like about 531 00:30:55,090 --> 00:30:59,220 KT: 18 Yellow Eye. Right.
