It took me 220 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: probably like three or four years when I first started 221 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: to finally say, you know what, we're not doing, Tiffany 222 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: all this stuff for free, like I don't mind doing 223 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,839 Speaker 1: to me, Oh, we church wants me to speak for free? 224 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 2: Got you?

But it's also important that you understand your worth. 233 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: And I mean not to quote, you know, the illustrious 234 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: Kanye West, but I was just reading. 235 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 2: Do you do you do? 236 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: You know the styary of Kanye and like his Nike 237 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: deal versus Adidas deal. 238 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, something is ringing a bell, but yeah, go for it. 239 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: So like in like in two thousand and seven, he 240 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: I think he met the CEO of Nike and was like, hey, 241 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: you know, I think we should work together. I would 242 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: let's design a shoot together, and Nike was like, bet, 243 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: let's do this. And so he from in two thousand 244 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: like nine, I think like he started like the official 245 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: release of like the Yeezy's, like the Air Yeezys came 246 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 1: out and it seemed like everything was like going great, 247 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 1: but he was like Nike, yo, I want like a 248 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan deal. You know, I want royalties from every 249 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: state from every sale. He said, I want to be like, like, 250 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: like how you did with you know, the air Jordan's 251 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 1: And Nike was like, yeah, no, but what we can 252 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,559 Speaker 1: do is we could do a small percentage toward a 253 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 1: charity you first of all, you know, Kanye was like 254 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,839 Speaker 1: the hell and so he said, He's like, no, I 255 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 1: should be treated like an athlete. I'm going to be 256 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: just as big as Michael Jordan. So what he decided 257 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: and said was he split from Nike in twenty thirteen 258 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: and he started working with Adidas, and he got an 259 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: even better deal. 260 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 2: With Adidas. 261 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 1: He gets to retain one hundred percent of the Easy 262 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: brand and instead he has an exclusive distribution deal for 263 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: his Easys And so that's that's like crazy. And so 264 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: as a result of that, in two thousand and nine, 265 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: Easy did it. He sold about one point five billion 266 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: dollars in sales, up fifty percent from the year before. 267 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: And that's about half of what Nike made off Jordan. 268 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: So Easy's made half of what Nike made, Right, But 269 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: guess who got paid more. Kanye got paid about ten 270 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: million dollars more than mj So even though Kanye sold 271 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: less half as many sneakers as Michael Jordan, he got 272 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: paid more than Michael Jordan on his sneakers. And it 273 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 1: was just a reminder that like, if you're able, because 274 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: it's not always you have to feed kids and you know, 275 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: you gotta you know, you got a you gotta make 276 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 1: sure that you are okay. But they're time a time 277 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: when you have to stand up for yourself and say 278 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: I am worth more, I bring more to the table 279 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 1: and I'm going to hold out for someone who is 280 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 1: going to recognize that. 281 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 2: And so can you imagine? 282 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 1: So I think Kanye got paid one hundred and forty 283 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: million dollars from Adidas last year. Now, like I said, 284 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: that's ten million more than MJ. Meanwhile selling over a 285 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: billion dollars less than MJ. 286 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 2: That's insane. 287 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 1: So it was just like, you know, Kanye West is 288 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: not always my favorite person, but when it came to that, 289 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: it just like kind of put a battery in my 290 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: back that we need to understand that ownership is wealth. 291 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 3: Oh I would remember, I'm put that on the shirt that. 292 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 2: Right, who good one? 293 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 3: Because well, another example a whole different kind of entertainer. 294 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 3: I actually watched the Dolly Parton documentary on Netflix this 295 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 3: weekend because Dolly Parton's like the one thing people can 296 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 3: agree on. And you know, I Will Always Love You, 297 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 3: which was performed and made famous by Whitney Houston. Dolly 298 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 3: Parton wrote that track like in the sixties or seventies 299 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 3: or something, and at a certain point Elvis apparently wanted 300 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 3: to record the song, but they wanted like a very 301 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 3: big share of or they wanted like a credit that 302 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 3: would have prevented her from recouping like profit from the song. 303 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 3: And you know, ay, and even back then it was 304 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 3: before streaming, but like when you heard the song on 305 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 3: the radio, the producers and songwriters get a cut of that. 306 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 3: So anyway, Dolly was like Elvis was for her a 307 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 3: huge star and she turned him down and she was like, 308 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 3: let me hold on to this. And it wasn't until 309 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 3: like twenty something years later when Whitney recorded it and 310 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 3: made it super famous, and she's like that record made 311 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 3: me was like the key to everything. And it was 312 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 3: because she stood her ground. Little baby Dolly Parton. She's 313 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 3: a badass business woman. 314 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 2: She is a bad I want to watch it that. 315 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 2: I love a good documentary. 316 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 3: She and it shortened to the point and you know, 317 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 3: I mean Dolly and Dolly is just I mean I 318 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 3: haven't really thought about Dolly, but she is.

She says, I'm shopping for a home 633 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 3: in a very competitive market. I'm trying to decide if 634 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 3: I should embark on a renovation project or stick to 635 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,880 Speaker 3: the turnkey homes. I remember Tiffany renovated her home from 636 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 3: top to bottom. Mandy, did you have renau projects in 637 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 3: your home too? I want to know how did you 638 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 3: find a good team that doesn't try to take advantage 639 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 3: of you? And that also does a great job. I've 640 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 3: heard the horror stories of renaults getting out of control 641 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 3: and costing way more than budgeted. Any tips you have 642 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 3: would be great, thank you, and I love the show. 643 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 3: So Natalie wa. 644 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 2: She wants she wants to either reno or buy a home, so. 645 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 3: It's a very competitive market. So she's like, should I 646 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 3: try to go for a fixer upper basically, which would 647 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 3: open up her options? If she's looking for a turnkey home, 648 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 3: like a home that's ready to move in, you know, 649 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 3: doesn't need any doesn't mean any fixing up, it would 650 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 3: limit her options in this community market. So yeah, I 651 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 3: was in the they we're both in the same boat. 652 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 1: I couldn't find a turnkey because it was just one 653 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 1: too expensive. And I'm not gonna lie right now. To me, 654 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 1: the housing market is a bit inflated because the supply 655 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: is low, but the demand is high, so homes are 656 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: going for way more than they would have gone for 657 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 1: just a month ago.

Yeah. I think if you start with like 716 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 3: an interior designer, which which sounds it is not just 717 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 3: about drapes, Okay. It's not like someone coming to pick 718 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 3: out what color your rug is going to be. For us, 719 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 3: it was about Okay, what size kitchen counter can we 720 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 3: fit in here? What size desk should we get? 721 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 5: That? 722 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 3: Stuff that takes like she was so valuable in helping 723 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 3: me just like reassess my own like help me understand 724 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 3: what could fit and what we actually could do with 725 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 3: the space to maximize it. So honestly, if you find 726 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 3: someone like that first, they probably have worked for worked 727 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 3: with a bunch of contractors or other people that they 728 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 3: know in the business and can recommend someone and that 729 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 3: could be a good source of referrals. We had a 730 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 3: bit of like it wasn't that bad. But our contractor 731 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 3: was kind of an afflement alpha male, and he didn't 732 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 3: love so much my really adorable, petite Russian blonde Julie. 733 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 3: I loved Julia, She's amazing.

Yeah, and you know, wouldn't respond to her sometimes, 736 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 3: and I had to, like, you know, smooth things over. 737 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 3: But I think I got, you know, overall, really lucky. 738 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 3: And honestly, it's tough to people. It's very it's scary 739 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 3: because if you're going to be spending and we spent 740 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 3: you know a lot of uh, we spent a lot 741 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 3: of cash on our remodel. What made me feel comfortable 742 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 3: about it was the way that he structured the contract 743 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 3: where it was split up into certain payments after a 744 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 3: job was completed. 745 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 2: Yep. 746 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 3: So you know it's like the kitchen or the demos 747 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 3: or yeah, demo's done, here's a payment. Kitchens, floors are installed, 748 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 3: here's a payment. You know, the big bathroom like, you know, 749 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 3: big things like that. So I felt comfortable and that 750 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 3: was all lined out in the contract, and then you 751 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 3: just cross your fingers and pray pray that and make 752 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 3: sure they get their the permits right.

I don't put their business 755 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 3: out there, but they they were going to remodel their 756 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,840 Speaker 3: their backyard this summer and they found a really great 757 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,399 Speaker 3: guy who had a great portfolio. And it was during 758 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 3: the pandemic and this guy was going to do it 759 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,359 Speaker 3: for real cheap, and he was like, Oh, you don't 760 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,879 Speaker 3: need a permit for your backyard whatever. I Meanwhile, they're 761 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 3: like taking down like part of this retaining mall and 762 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 3: all this stuff, and one of their neighbors like reported 763 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,319 Speaker 3: them apparently, and they now have for months now have 764 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,719 Speaker 3: had just like half their yard, you know, demoed and 765 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,319 Speaker 3: this big ass dump dumpster in their driveway taking up 766 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:40,879 Speaker 3: all the space. So get your PaperWorks and dot your 767 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 3: eyes and cross your t's and all that stuff. 768 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 1: No, absolutely, and yeah, you just you want to get 769 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,719 Speaker 1: someone who to Mandy's point, it's well one you One 770 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 1: of the things I learned from Jermaine, from you know, 771 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,120 Speaker 1: my my project manager, is that we set aside about 772 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 1: twenty five percent extra because things happen that are not 773 00:34:58,760 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 1: the contractors. 774 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,880 Speaker 2: Fault, like for example, they were like digging up. They're like, uh, 775 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 2: there's a hole here, you know. 776 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,040 Speaker 1: So you set aside twenty to thirty percent honestly kind 777 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,359 Speaker 1: of like extra and it's it's always going to take 778 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 1: longer and it's always going to for the most part, 779 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,320 Speaker 1: going to be more. But if you have a good 780 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 1: designer project manager, they can really help navigate. So we 781 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:22,360 Speaker 1: my husband and I Superman and I bought a second 782 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,239 Speaker 1: property totally tear down, well not really a tear down, 783 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,720 Speaker 1: but it was a beat. It was ten thousand dollars, 784 00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:29,919 Speaker 1: so it tells you just how bad, what bad shape 785 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,880 Speaker 1: it was in. So Jermaine again served as our project manager, 786 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 1: and we are last time I checked, I think we're 787 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:41,239 Speaker 1: thirty thousand dollars under budget. So but that's also because 788 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 1: of a lot of the COVID things. Because to your point, man, 789 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 1: a lot of people are like, oh, I need work. 790 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,759 Speaker 1: So I know that gave you that bid before, but 791 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 1: I can do better. But you're wanting. You're wanting. That's 792 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,520 Speaker 1: what a good project manager or designer and things will 793 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:57,080 Speaker 1: help you with is to manage all like the bigger 794 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 1: aspect of your home because it's not just oh, I like, 795 00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:02,879 Speaker 1: you know, I want hardwood floor, it's like, well, how's 796 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 1: that going to go with the door?

And yeah, 799 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 1: and I mean it's it's it's it's funish it can 800 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:16,320 Speaker 1: be when it's not being super stressful. 801 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you definitely want to, like you wanna 802 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 3: if you and it doesn't really cost anything for a 803 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:24,799 Speaker 3: contractor to come and give you a quote, so if 804 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 3: you even and the thing is like in a competitive market, 805 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,840 Speaker 3: you have to like put in the offer really quickly, 806 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 3: but try to get ahead of it.

M A 851 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:31,520 Speaker 2: L I M L R E. 852 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:34,040 Speaker 3: No. 853 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,160 Speaker 2: I love that. Here's the thing. 854 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:38,799 Speaker 1: And I don't know how you stand on five two 855 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,279 Speaker 1: nine plans. I'm not gonna lie management it's not my fave. 856 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,640 Speaker 1: What I do like about five to nine plans, you know, 857 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 1: is that you know there are tax benefits right to 858 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,320 Speaker 1: your five two nine plan. But what I don't work 859 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:55,839 Speaker 1: is that I don't want to set aside money for 860 00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 1: a thing that might not happen. I instead, like I 861 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,960 Speaker 1: have like my nieces and my nephews, I have custodial 862 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 1: accounts for them, which is just basically account where I'm 863 00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,239 Speaker 1: investing money for their future. And I can, you know, 864 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,080 Speaker 1: kind of hand it over to their mom, their dad 865 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 1: or whoever whenever, or them whenever I want to. And 866 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,120 Speaker 1: and in my mind, I'm like, oh, this is for college. 867 00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:18,600 Speaker 1: But what if Roman decides that he know is going 868 00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,640 Speaker 1: to start his own business. What if Lily says, you 869 00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,440 Speaker 1: know what, I you know, I don't want to go 870 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,120 Speaker 1: to college. You know, I'm I'm a stay at home mom. 871 00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:26,960 Speaker 1: You know what if Amelia is like, I want to 872 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:28,680 Speaker 1: take over the world. That's what she's working on now 873 00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:32,719 Speaker 1: at three, you know, And so I didn't I So 874 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:36,320 Speaker 1: I with five two nine plans, really you're you're supposed 875 00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 1: to use them for education, and if you don't, there 876 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 1: are some financial ramifications that I just I don't like, 877 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:45,719 Speaker 1: even though they've they've brought in how you can use 878 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:47,840 Speaker 1: it for education, because I from what I understand now, 879 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:49,640 Speaker 1: you can even use it now, like let's just say 880 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,800 Speaker 1: Amelia's in childcare, so her mom could use some of 881 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,319 Speaker 1: the five to two nine plan money for childcare now, 882 00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,080 Speaker 1: I mean for it for daycare now. But still it's 883 00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 1: just too limiting for I mean, so they're just not 884 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:01,520 Speaker 1: my fave. 885 00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree one hundred percent they're not, are You know, 886 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 3: A five two nine plan is a good way to 887 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,560 Speaker 3: save if you're sure which who knows what's going to 888 00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 3: happen that you know they'll go to they'll use the 889 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,680 Speaker 3: money for education. The good thing. I hate to say this, 890 00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:18,960 Speaker 3: but with the Trump tax plan, there actually was a 891 00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,319 Speaker 3: benefit which expanded the ability to use the funds and 892 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,640 Speaker 3: your five two nine plan beyond higher education. You actually 893 00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 3: could use it for like private school tuitions for K 894 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,319 Speaker 3: through twelve, or school fees and things like that, so 895 00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:34,080 Speaker 3: you know, you don't necessarily have to wait to use 896 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,160 Speaker 3: it for college anymore. I think it's up to ten 897 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,480 Speaker 3: thousand dollars or something like that. We can post a 898 00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,759 Speaker 3: link to an article that has the details, so that's 899 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:43,759 Speaker 3: something to think about. I actually do have a five 900 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:47,279 Speaker 3: to two nine for Rio, because Husbi opened one and 901 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,960 Speaker 3: he was so damn proud of himself, and I was like, okay, 902 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,400 Speaker 3: and I don't mind the you know, and the benefit 903 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,239 Speaker 3: is that you'll the money you put in grows tax 904 00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,360 Speaker 3: free and won't get taxed, like as long as you 905 00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,320 Speaker 3: use it for allified education expenses. You won't pay taxes 906 00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 3: on it later, and you invest it, and you can 907 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,279 Speaker 3: choose from a bunch of different types of investment, you know, 908 00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:11,480 Speaker 3: based on your risk tolerance and all that. So, but 909 00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,440 Speaker 3: to your point, Tiffany, we were, I think we're recently 910 00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,759 Speaker 3: we had Sharon Epperson, the CNBC correspondent, she was on 911 00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,960 Speaker 3: the show back when we just got into quarantine, I think, 912 00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,799 Speaker 3: and she has some teen she has teenage children, and 913 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,239 Speaker 3: she was she was saying, well, you know, you do 914 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,520 Speaker 3: invest your child's money when you open a five two 915 00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,560 Speaker 3: nine plan her children. I think we're just we're close 916 00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,719 Speaker 3: to graduating high school. And because of the pandemic at 917 00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:38,360 Speaker 3: the time, the stock market at crash and all that 918 00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,920 Speaker 3: kind of stuff, She's like, oh crap, Like the gains 919 00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:45,279 Speaker 3: on my investments have gone down. I mean luckily they 920 00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,840 Speaker 3: bounced back, but that is something to time it. You know, 921 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,759 Speaker 3: your time horizon's only like what eighteen years or so, 922 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,600 Speaker 3: seventeen eighteen years, So you want to be sure when 923 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,399 Speaker 3: you choose your investments that like, for example, for Rio, 924 00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,120 Speaker 3: I think we're in some kind of version of a 925 00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:01,600 Speaker 3: target date fund that should become more conservative closer to 926 00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,600 Speaker 3: get too. Yeah, and it's cute because you can give 927 00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:05,960 Speaker 3: a link to your friends and family and they can 928 00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:06,760 Speaker 3: contribute all. 929 00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:07,840 Speaker 2: That, which is nice. 930 00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:09,839 Speaker 1: But one thing I don't like too about a five 931 00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:13,560 Speaker 1: to nine plan is that, like, don't colleges sometimes it 932 00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,320 Speaker 1: could be honestly, you might not get as much financial 933 00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,040 Speaker 1: aid that college is consider it when deciding on financial aid. 934 00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,840 Speaker 1: So it's possible that you talk would get less financial 935 00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,040 Speaker 1: aid if you've got like a ton of BI two 936 00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:28,040 Speaker 1: nine plan money like stashed away. So that's also too 937 00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,680 Speaker 1: But to me, I mean that's a big drawback. But honestly, 938 00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,400 Speaker 1: to me, the biggest drawback is we're in such uncertain times, 939 00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:35,960 Speaker 1: and not just because of pandemic and quarantine and stuff, 940 00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:38,520 Speaker 1: but just because, like the way the world is shaping up. 941 00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:40,880 Speaker 1: Who knows if there'll even be a thing called college 942 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:44,600 Speaker 1: in ten years, And I just am nervous about betting 943 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:46,920 Speaker 1: on that with kids that are like, you know, like 944 00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,719 Speaker 1: it's different for Supergirl, right, she's fourteen, so it's like, Okay, 945 00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:51,680 Speaker 1: she's going to college, like college is still a thing. 946 00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,440 Speaker 1: But Roman is five. I don't know what that's going 947 00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:56,120 Speaker 1: to look like in thirteen years, you. 948 00:42:56,080 --> 00:43:00,719 Speaker 3: Know, yeah, well, yeah regarding and I know we just 949 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,600 Speaker 3: wrote an article about this on Magnify. It's it's it's 950 00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,720 Speaker 3: a baby myth that like five two nine plans really 951 00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,880 Speaker 3: dramatically decrease the amount of money you might get from 952 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:13,040 Speaker 3: financial aid. But it's definitely like it's a it's a risk, 953 00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:16,040 Speaker 3: but it's not like quite as furious. Yeah, like it's huge. 954 00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:17,320 Speaker 3: So anyway, but I'll post I don't have time to 955 00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:19,840 Speaker 3: get into it now, but i'll post something. Yeah, I 956 00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,440 Speaker 3: got time for that. But it's decent. But yeah, definitely. 957 00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:25,640 Speaker 3: And tip, do you have a custodial ir ray for them, 958 00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:27,520 Speaker 3: like a ROTH or what kind of account you have 959 00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:29,000 Speaker 3: for them? Just a savings account. 960 00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:33,680 Speaker 1: No, it's a custodial not a ROTH. It's just a 961 00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:37,600 Speaker 1: traditional brokerage acount. But it's a custody gotcha. 962 00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, so I mean either way, or you can even 963 00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,479 Speaker 3: just set aside some cash when you figure it out later, 964 00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,360 Speaker 3: you know, put the cash into an account. Better something 965 00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,680 Speaker 3: than nothing, right when you're saving for when you're saving 966 00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,720 Speaker 3: for anything, analysis paralysis can just stop you from making 967 00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:55,160 Speaker 3: from doing any saving it also exactly go for it. 968 00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:58,480 Speaker 3: And kudos to you, grandma, you're very good granny. 969 00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,440 Speaker 2: Yes, especially she got the Molly Moore. 970 00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:06,960 Speaker 3: Book, right, Molly Moore at mollymore dot com.
