16
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: wants to be anonymous, So we're gonna call you Kiva

17
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: because I was just like, that's a cute name. Why

18
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: ain't kiva anyway? So Keiva says, I would like to

19
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: remain anonymous. Got you, girl? She says, I've been catching

20
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: up on the podcast from the beginning as you ought to.

21
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: I'm up to episode one ninety nine. You said that

22
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: you opened up a custodio wrath ira, which is something

23
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: I thought about opening for my kids. When I looked

24
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: into it, it says that the child has to have

25
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: earned income.

26
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 2: This is true.

27
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: Can you please tell me how you are able to

28
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: open yours? Also? Are there any other accounts I can

29
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: open for them besides regular savings? Thank you for your time,

30
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: so Keiva, Yes, it is true. See a wroth ira

31
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: IRA stands for individual retirement account. Whether you are man, chick,

32
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: a child, you cannot have a retirement account open if

33
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: you're not making any money because the people, say, the

34
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: people meaning the government, how are you saving for retirement

35
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: when you ain't working? You know? And there's other ways

36
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 1: around it, but for the most part, you have to

37
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: just understand that an iray is a retirement account based

38
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: upon like you know, the money earned income is just

39
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: like you have a job, you're making money, right, And

40
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: a raw iray is different from a traditional iray because

41
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: a traditional iray is money that's put in there before taxes, right,

42
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: and a raw iray is money that's put into your

43
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: retirement account after you pay your taxes. Right. So, so

44
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: I opened up my husband and I had opened up

45
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: a custodial ira for Alyssa, my bonus baby, and because

46
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,679
Speaker 1: we back then, I was like, so what are we

47
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: going to do? So I actually hired her to do

48
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: some work for me at the budget Nista. You know. Now,

49
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: actually Alyssa is like my TikTok managership. She just messaged

50
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: me this morning, like when are we meeting? I gotta

51
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: get my money. I mean, I gotta get my work done.

52
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: But that's what she meant. And so now, because that

53
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: I pay Alyssa money, she gets twenty dollars a TikTok,

54
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: but I make sure I pay her enough to reach

55
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: the minimum or really the maximum of what we can

56
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: set aside for her retirement account. And this year it

57
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: was six thousand dollars. So I made sure that she

58
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,119
Speaker 1: got in at least six thousand dollars worth of work

59
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: so we could put that six thousand in her raw ira,

60
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: and anything above that she got to kind of keep.

61
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: Although she wasn't happy about it, because you know, the

62
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,679
Speaker 1: kids want this money, honey, But I told her it

63
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: is still your money. It's just for grown growner Lissa,

64
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,839
Speaker 1: you know. So I don't know if you have a job.

65
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: I mean our job a business, because that's one of

66
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: the ways is that you literally employ your child, but

67
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: for real, you can't just employ them for fake like

68
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: Alyssa literally does my tiktoks. And before that she was

69
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: doing some odds and then's at Budgetista. So yes, but

70
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: even before that, before I was able to open up

71
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: the custodio raw Ira, I had something else for her.

72
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: It was a custodio account. It was a retirement account,

73
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: but I mean it wasn't a retirement account. It was

74
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: an investment account, but it was custodio. So you can

75
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: still set aside and have an investment account for your child.

76
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: This means it's not specifically for retirement. This is just

77
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: investing in general, just like you can have a retirement

78
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: account and you can have a separate investment account, right,

79
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: and so I have also in addition to that, I

80
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: also have an investment account for a listen, where we

81
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: actually house her. It's not a five twenty nine. This

82
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: is where we house her college fund, and so that's

83
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: a separate one. So you can do that too. You

84
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: can have a custolical account for just investments, and so

85
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: it doesn't get the tax benefits of a retirement account,

86
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: but I can pull it out before you know, she's

87
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: sixty five, you know, without any penalty. Like the purpose

88
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: of that investment account was really the set aside and

89
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: grow her money for college, which we have fully funded.

90
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: So hopefully that helps Kiva. You know, you can start

91
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: working on that now for the babies. Hopefully that's really helpful.

92
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, so we do have another question, but we

93
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 2: gonna take up break first, and now I'll be right

94
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 2: back with some more BAQA questions.

95
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: Okay, see you soon.

96
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 3: I'm back.

97
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: Okay, So we have a question from someone named Sensational.

98
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: First of all, Sin, I love how you spell it,

99
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: c yn Is that your real name? Anyway, Sensational asked

100
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 1: a really great question. She says, Hello, I am relocating

101
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: for work. I'm downsizing from a house. She's the first

102
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: time home buyer to an apartment. Okay, I never really

103
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: rented an apartment before. Okay, you know what, I don't

104
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: know if I've ever rented an apartment before. I haven't, Sin,

105
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: because I went from my parents' house. Me. I see

106
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: you did too, and I went to like I rented

107
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: a house with my sister, but I never had an apartment,

108
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: and then after that I bought a condown. So Sin same,

109
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: she said, I went straight from my parents home to

110
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: my own house. And we love an upgraded sensational sister.

111
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: And now she's renting out her home. Sin, I already

112
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: love you. You're like my face. Look at this stayed home,

113
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: stacked her dome, moved out into her own home, and

114
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: now she's renting it out. So the question, though she

115
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: has is because Sin is super smart, i'v is I'm

116
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: asking is there a way to optimize the paying rent experience?

117
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: Are there any ways to make the experience work in

118
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: my financial favor? Any cards that give bonuses or any

119
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: or help incentivize paying rent. Thank you for all the

120
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: work that you do and now you're sharing. So Sin,

121
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 1: this is a really great question. The problem with rent

122
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: is typically it won't show up on your credit report

123
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: as paid unless you don't pay, and then if the

124
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: landlord reports you, then that's what they'll stay. But they

125
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: do have some resources available to have your rent payments

126
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: go on your credit report the way like your mortgage done.

127
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: So there's a few of them. So there's one called Pinata,

128
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: which is free. The service offers it's free to rentors

129
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: nobody their landlord. It reports to TransUnion. If your landlord

130
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: signs up for a specific partnership with Pinata, your rent

131
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: payments can be reported on all three bureaus. So I

132
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: think Pinata you can do on your own, just for TransUnion.

133
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: But if you can get your landlord to sign up,

134
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: they can reply, they can they can add you to

135
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: all three bureaus. So I would look into that. And

136
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: there's also some ones that charge renters, like rent Reporters,

137
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: Rental Karma, Level Credit, Rock, the Score credit is My

138
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: rent payment report is a bunch. So but girl, you

139
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: know we like free around here. Okay, So I'll be

140
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: looking into the Pinata of it all, and I would

141
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: like to you know, That's what I would suggest now

142
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: as far as like a specific credit card for people

143
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: who pay rent, Not that I know it, but I

144
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: do believe that credit cards o wes big time.

145
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 2: What do I mean?

146
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: That means if you are going to use your credit

147
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: card to pay rent, make sure let that kind of

148
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: guard give you something. We need to it's a mutually

149
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: beneficial relationship. I need to benefit. So my favorite types

150
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: of credit cards are ones that offer cap back because

151
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: cash is queen. But also I also like travel cards,

152
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: and I also like, like if you drive a lot,

153
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: which I don't, there's gas cards, right, so depending right,

154
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: so I don't know if your landlord lets you pay

155
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,640
