1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: What would be a good percentage to use, you know, 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 1: so that way I can just keep the same number 3 00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,079 Speaker 1: going in there all the time. Yeah, you know, I 4 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,720 Speaker 1: don't really like percentages too much. I like actual numbers 5 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 1: because I could say, like I could say like ten percent, 6 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: fifteen percent, but it really just depends on your situation. 7 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: So I always try to look at like discretionary income, 8 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: so like how much money is left over at the 9 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 1: end of the month. So that's the first Like first 10 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: we got to see like how much money is left 11 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: over at the end of the month, right, So it's 12 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: like one of two things is happening either and this 13 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,480 Speaker 1: is just like broad range statement. Either you have money 14 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 1: left over at the end of the month where you don't, 15 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: or you're running in a deficit. So if you have 16 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,480 Speaker 1: money left over, you got to see how much money 17 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 1: you have left over. So if it's like, Okay, I 18 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 1: have a thousand dollars left over after all my bills 19 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,639 Speaker 1: are paid, after you know, I have some fun every 20 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: single month, I have at least a thousand dollars left over, right, 21 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: So just using that that number, I personally would probably 22 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: do somewhere along the lines of like putting thirty percent 23 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: of that money into like savings until you have you know, 24 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: six to twelve months of savings, because that's important, and 25 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: then I probably would look to invest thirty percent. So 26 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: now that's like sixty percent of the money right there, 27 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 1: and then maybe you know, twenty percent will go to 28 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: you know, a kid's account, twenty to fifteen percent or 29 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: go to the kid's account, and then the left the 30 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: rest is just kind of left for like miscellaneous. So 31 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: that's what I would kind of go by more so 32 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: than like, you know, just a percent of like your 33 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: total income, because I could say ten percent of your income, 34 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: but if that might be too much, So it's really 35 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 1: more of a percentage of your discretionary income, and the 36 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 1: discretionary income I would say probably like twenty percent twenty 37 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: to fifteen percent of discretionary income that you can afford 38 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:39,119 Speaker 1: to you know, put away. 39 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 2: Okay, thank you. I appreciate that man that helped me 40 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 2: out a lot. 41 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,479 Speaker 1: No, no problem, brother, I have a good one. All right, Tyran, 42 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: we're coming to you on yourself. 43 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:47,119 Speaker 3: Please. 44 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 2: Hell, I'm good in euroshage. 45 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: I'm good. 46 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 3: I'm good. 47 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 4: All. 48 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 2: I have a question, what are the disadvantage of an escort? 49 00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 2: I kind of think, I know a little bit about 50 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 2: the advantages in compassing to an LLC, but what are 51 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 2: the disadvantage of a S card. 52 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: It's more structured. I think this business had actually told 53 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 1: a class about this. But you have to pay yourself 54 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,399 Speaker 1: a salary, so especially like if you're not making you know, 55 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: that much money off if the business is just starting out, 56 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: it could be kind of pressure on you to you know, 57 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: have payroll. So that's something that you know, definitely could 58 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: take into consideration. Like I forgot the number that she said, 59 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 1: but I think it's like one hundred thousand dollars something 60 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: like that. You should be making like one hundred thousand 61 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: dollars in your business before you go to es corporateute, 62 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 1: because yeah, it's definitely it's definitely a lot more structure. 63 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: But the off the top of my head, I would 64 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: I would think that that would be something that you know, 65 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: you just definitely have to consider because you definitely have 66 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: to put yourself on payroll and you know, where as 67 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 1: like a regular LLC, you could just you know, not 68 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: pay yourself a month, two months whatever if not no 69 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: money's coming in or you just want to just you know, 70 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: you're real within that month so that's something that's taking 71 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: to consideration. Especially a lot of businesses, especially when they 72 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 1: first start, cash flow is very up and down. So 73 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: you know, if your cash flow is up and down, 74 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: you want to make sure you getting to a point 75 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 1: where you have some level of consistent cash flow. 76 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 2: First, okay, thanks very much, that answered the question. 77 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 4: Thanks all right, you'd be coming to you on yourself please. 78 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 3: All right, good morning, thanks for coming.

And also let's say if I have 83 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 3: some money that's coming in. Let's say, like if I 84 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 3: have like probably like two to five thousand, so like 85 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 3: should I put it in the market even I do 86 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 3: have automatic. 87 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 4: This episode is brought to you by P and C Bank. 88 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 4: A lot of people think podcasts about work are boring, 89 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 4: and sure they definitely can be.

So should I keep the best things for 139 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 3: me to do? Should I like put that money in 140 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 3: the stock market or should I put it toward my mortgage? 141 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 3: Even like in the future, I want to like to 142 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 3: invest more and and real estate. So what's where we be? Yes, 143 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 3: but what we suggest I. 144 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: Mean, I think you could do both. I don't think 145 00:06:58,720 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: I don't think it has to be a one dy 146 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: the situation. You know, you want to see what's most 147 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 1: what's most important? Is paying off your house more important? 148 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:05,679 Speaker 1: Or do you think you can get a better return 149 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: in the stock market? And especially if you got a 150 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: low interest rate, it might be more advantageous to put 151 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: the money into the market because you know your opportunity 152 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: costs is probably greater investing in the stock market. But 153 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: that doesn't necessarily mean that you can't do both. So 154 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: you know you could maybe if instead of if you 155 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: was going to put two thousand dollars a month into 156 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: paying into your mortgage to pay it off, you know, 157 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: a lot quicker, maybe you put five hundred dollars a month, right, 158 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: you know that's still going to add up over the 159 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: course of the year, and you know you could still 160 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: knock off years of paying off your mortgage. So I 161 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: would I always say, you know, see what's most important 162 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: to you, But you can definitely do both, especially with 163 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: that with that amount of money. It's not like it's 164 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: you know, a couple of hundred couple of thousand. You 165 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: can definitely, you know, allocate money to both of them. 166 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: But the opportunity costs will probably be better investing in 167 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: the stock market. But I also understand, you know, if 168 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: you don't want to have the mortgage forever and you 169 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: want to pay off the property sooner, so you know, 170 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: maybe maybe you just do some calculations and see how 171 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: that will work out if you if you did it 172 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: for just a little bit less money than you would 173 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: have done originally. 174 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 3: My other question is what what the difference between like qq. 175 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: Q and q q q M. 176 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 3: You broke up a little bit, what you say, what's 177 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 3: the difference between like qqq and q q q M. 178 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: I think QQQM Troy know QTE the t but yeah, 179 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: let me make sure I get a right information on that. 180 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 3: I think it's the mini QQQ, but I would I 181 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 3: would like to know if there's a difference like from 182 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 3: from the percentage of return or the amount of stacks 183 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 3: that that that they invest in. Was that one is 184 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 3: around like three something and then the qq M is 185 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 3: on like one something. 186 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, let me let me look, let me look, I 187 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: have Troy doing research on it. 188 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 3: Get back to you on that. Okay, thank you appreciate. 189 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 3: And also for form irate rough area for kids, So 190 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 3: like do they have to be a certain age for 191 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 3: to start a rough area for kids? Yeah? 192 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, they have to be well yes and no, they 193 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: have to if you doing it. If you're not self employed, 194 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: then they have to be a working age, like they 195 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: have to have a job. The working the age depends 196 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: on what state you live in. But as long as 197 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: they have working papers and they have a job and 198 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: they actually have to be working, that's another thing. So 199 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 1: as soon as they're able to work, you can do it. 200 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,439 Speaker 1: But if you're self employed, it's a little different because 201 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: you can actually hire your child before they legally have 202 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: like working papers as long as they're actually working and 203 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,839 Speaker 1: they can actually do a job. So obviously, like you 204 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: can't hire a two year old. But like if you 205 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 1: have like somebody that's like ten or eleven years old 206 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: and they're actually doing you just have to be able 207 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: to justify it in case you have to get audited. 208 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: But you have more flexibility and you can hire younger 209 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: if you're self employed. But if the child is working 210 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: just a regular job whenever, if they work a job, 211 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 1: then they could you could put money into the IRA. 212 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 3: It's so basically you cannot do it in course your 213 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 3: account for the IRA. Yeah, yeah, no. 214 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: It's it's a custodial count. It's just it's a raal ira. 215 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: Still you still you still like the child is still 216 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: a minor. The child's still a minor, so it's not like, 217 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: you know, you got to set it up for them 218 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: and you put the money in. But you know, you 219 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: can have a custodio account where it's just in the 220 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: market and there's no retirement account attached to it, or 221 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: it's the retirement account, but it's still it's still a 222 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: custodio account.
