WEBVTT - Study Hall: Financial Planning with Rashad

0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Coach, the energy out there felt different. What changed for

0:00:03.160 --> 0:00:03.800
<v Speaker 1>the team today?

0:00:03.880 --> 0:00:06.040
<v Speaker 2>It was the new game day scratches from the California

0:00:06.080 --> 0:00:07.080
<v Speaker 2>Lottery players.

0:00:07.120 --> 0:00:07.520
<v Speaker 3>Everything.

0:00:07.840 --> 0:00:09.799
<v Speaker 4>Those games sent the team's energy through the roof.

0:00:09.880 --> 0:00:11.880
<v Speaker 1>Are you saying it was the off field play that

0:00:11.920 --> 0:00:13.000
<v Speaker 1>made the difference on the field.

0:00:13.119 --> 0:00:15.840
<v Speaker 5>Hey, little play makes your day, and today it made

0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:16.279
<v Speaker 5>the game.

0:00:16.760 --> 0:00:19.319
<v Speaker 6>That's all for now, coach, one more question play than

0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:22.119
<v Speaker 6>New Los Angeles Chargers, San Francisco forty nine ers and

0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:24.960
<v Speaker 6>Los Angeles ram scratchers from the California Lottery.

0:00:25.040 --> 0:00:28.160
<v Speaker 4>A little play can make your day. Peace made responsibily.

0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:29.680
<v Speaker 7>It must be eighteen years or older to purchase late

0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 7>or claim.

0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:33.400
<v Speaker 5>What would be a good percentage to use, you know,

0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:35.640
<v Speaker 5>so that way I can just keep the same number

0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:39.159
<v Speaker 5>going in there all the time. Yeah, you know, I

0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:41.800
<v Speaker 5>don't really like percentages too much. I like actual numbers

0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:44.440
<v Speaker 5>because I could say, like I could say like ten percent,

0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:47.080
<v Speaker 5>fifteen percent, but it really just depends on your situation.

0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:50.000
<v Speaker 5>So I always try to look at like discretionary income,

0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:52.479
<v Speaker 5>so like how much money is left over at the

0:00:52.560 --> 0:00:54.480
<v Speaker 5>end of the month. So that's the first Like first

0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:55.920
<v Speaker 5>we got to see, like how much money is left

0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:57.360
<v Speaker 5>over at the end of the month, right, So it's

0:00:57.440 --> 0:01:00.680
<v Speaker 5>like one of two things is happening. And this is

0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 5>just like broad range statement. Either you have money left

0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:04.080
<v Speaker 5>over at the end of the month where you don't,

0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:06.760
<v Speaker 5>or you're running in a deficit. So if you have

0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:08.560
<v Speaker 5>money left over, you got to see how much money

0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:10.400
<v Speaker 5>you have left over. So if it's like, Okay, I

0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:13.319
<v Speaker 5>have a thousand dollars left over after all my bills

0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:15.720
<v Speaker 5>are paid, after you know, I have some fun every

0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:18.360
<v Speaker 5>single month, I have at least a thousand dollars left over, right,

0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:22.480
<v Speaker 5>So just using that that number, I personally would probably

0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:25.520
<v Speaker 5>do somewhere along the lines of like putting thirty percent

0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:27.720
<v Speaker 5>of that money into like savings until you have you know,

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:31.200
<v Speaker 5>six to twelve months of savings, because that's important, and

0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:35.440
<v Speaker 5>then I probably would look to invest thirty percent though

0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:37.520
<v Speaker 5>now that's like sixty percent of the money right there,

0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:40.120
<v Speaker 5>and then maybe you know, twenty percent would go to

0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:42.880
<v Speaker 5>you know, a kid's account, twenty to fifteen percent or

0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:44.920
<v Speaker 5>go to the kid's account, and then the left the

0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:47.200
<v Speaker 5>rest is just kind of left for like miscellaneous. So

0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:49.880
<v Speaker 5>that's what I would kind of go by more so

0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:52.680
<v Speaker 5>than like, you know, just a percent of like your

0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:55.200
<v Speaker 5>total income, because I could say ten percent of your income,

0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:57.240
<v Speaker 5>but if that might be too much, so it's really

0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:01.120
<v Speaker 5>more of a percentage of your discretionary income, and the

0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:04.880
<v Speaker 5>discretionary income I would say probably like twenty twenty to

0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:08.360
<v Speaker 5>fifteen percent of discretionary income that you can afford to

0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:09.200
<v Speaker 5>you know, put away.

0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:12.040
<v Speaker 8>Okay, thank you. I appreciate that man that helped me

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:12.519
<v Speaker 8>out a lot.

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:14.880
<v Speaker 4>No, no problem, brother, you have a good one, all.

0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:17.200
<v Speaker 9>Right, Tyran, We're coming to you on meet yourself please.

0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:20.799
<v Speaker 10>Hell, I'm good at eurosage.

0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:21.600
<v Speaker 4>I'm good, I'm good.

0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:27.480
<v Speaker 11>I have a question, what are the disadvantage of an escort?

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:29.720
<v Speaker 11>I kind of think I know a little bit about

0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:33.240
<v Speaker 11>the advantages in compassing to an LLC, but what are

0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:35.280
<v Speaker 11>the disadvantage of an escort?

0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:39.639
<v Speaker 5>It's more structured. I think this business had actually told

0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:41.480
<v Speaker 5>a class about this. But you have to pay yourself

0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:44.240
<v Speaker 5>a salary, so especially like if you're not making you

0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:46.200
<v Speaker 5>know that much money, or if the business is just

0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:48.560
<v Speaker 5>starting out, it could be kind of pressure on you

0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:51.080
<v Speaker 5>to you know, have payroll. So that's something that you know,

0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:54.000
<v Speaker 5>definitely could take into consideration. Like I forgot the number

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 5>that she said, but I think it's like one hundred

0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:57.000
<v Speaker 5>thousand dollars something like that. You should be making like

0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 5>one hundred thousand dollars in your business before you go

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:02.600
<v Speaker 5>to es coop route, because yeah, it's definitely it's definitely

0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:05.360
<v Speaker 5>a lot more structure. But off the top of my head,

0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:07.359
<v Speaker 5>I would I would think that that would be something

0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 5>that you know, you just definitely have to consider because

0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:13.440
<v Speaker 5>you definitely have to put yourself on payroll and.

0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:15.799
<v Speaker 4>You know, we as like a regular LLC.

0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:18.239
<v Speaker 5>You could just you know, not pay yourself a month,

0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:20.920
<v Speaker 5>two months whatever if not no money's coming in or

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:22.480
<v Speaker 5>you just want to just you know, you're real within

0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:23.040
<v Speaker 5>that month.

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:25.280
<v Speaker 4>So that's something that's taking to consideration.

0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:28.520
<v Speaker 5>Especially a lot of businesses, especially when they first start,

0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:31.120
<v Speaker 5>cash flow is very up and down. So you know,

0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:33.359
<v Speaker 5>if your cash flow is up and down, you want

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:35.000
<v Speaker 5>to make sure you getting to a point where you

0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:36.880
<v Speaker 5>have some level of consistent cash flow.

0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:37.240
<v Speaker 4>First.

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:41.680
<v Speaker 10>Okay, thanks very much, that answered the question.

0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:45.920
<v Speaker 9>Thanks all right, all right, we're coming to you on yourself.

0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:50.040
<v Speaker 10>Please all right, good morning, thanks for coming. My question

0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:53.600
<v Speaker 10>is I got to question. My first question is let's say,

0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:55.920
<v Speaker 10>like example, like I have a mortgage that I was

0:03:55.920 --> 0:04:00.120
<v Speaker 10>trying to pay early, be like within seven to ten years.

0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:02.720
<v Speaker 10>And also let's say if I have some money that's

0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:05.080
<v Speaker 10>coming in. Let's see, like if I have like probably

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:08.840
<v Speaker 10>like two to five thousand, so like, should I put

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:12.280
<v Speaker 10>it in the market? Even I do have automatic payment,

0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:15.160
<v Speaker 10>that's that's contribution that I make every month for my

0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:18.240
<v Speaker 10>investment on the stock market and crypto and stuff like that.

0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:21.279
<v Speaker 10>So should I keep the best thing is for me

0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:22.960
<v Speaker 10>to do, Should I like put that money in the

0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:25.240
<v Speaker 10>stock market or should I put it to my mortgage?

0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:27.160
<v Speaker 10>Even like in the future, I want to like to

0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:32.200
<v Speaker 10>invest more and and and real estate. So what's what's

0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:32.720
<v Speaker 10>where will be?

0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:32.960
<v Speaker 6>Uh?

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:36.080
<v Speaker 5>Yes, but what we suggest, I mean I think you

0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:37.520
<v Speaker 5>could do both. I don't think I don't think it

0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:39.320
<v Speaker 5>has to be a one or the other situation. You know,

0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:41.360
<v Speaker 5>you want to see what's most what's most important, it's

0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:43.120
<v Speaker 5>paid off your house more important? Or do you think

0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:44.719
<v Speaker 5>you can get a better return to the stock market,

0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:46.680
<v Speaker 5>And especially if you got a low interest rate, it

0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:49.320
<v Speaker 5>might be more advantageous to put the money into the

0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:51.800
<v Speaker 5>market because you know your opportunity costs is probably greater

0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:52.760
<v Speaker 5>investing in the stock market.

0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:53.920
<v Speaker 4>But that doesn't necessarily mean.

0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:56.200
<v Speaker 5>That you can't do both, So you know you could, uh,

0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:58.120
<v Speaker 5>maybe if instead of if you were going to put

0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:00.919
<v Speaker 5>two thousand dollars a month into pay into your mortgage

0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:02.960
<v Speaker 5>to pay it off, you know, a lot quicker, maybe.

0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:04.320
<v Speaker 4>You put five hundred dollars a both.

0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:06.480
<v Speaker 5>Right, you know that's still going to add up over

0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:09.000
<v Speaker 5>the course of the year, and you know you can

0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:12.960
<v Speaker 5>still knock off years of paying off your mortgage. So

0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:15.720
<v Speaker 5>I would I always say, you know, see what's most

0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:19.599
<v Speaker 5>important to you. But you can definitely do both, especially

0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:21.839
<v Speaker 5>with that with that amount of money. It's not like

0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:23.640
<v Speaker 5>it's you know, a couple of hundred, couple of thousand.

0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:27.200
<v Speaker 5>You can definitely, you know, allocate money to both of them.

0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:30.440
<v Speaker 5>But the opportunity cost will probably be better investing in the

0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:33.440
<v Speaker 5>stock market. But I also understand, you know, if you

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:36.080
<v Speaker 5>don't want to have the mortgage forever and you want

0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:38.440
<v Speaker 5>to pay off the property sooner, so you know, maybe

0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:40.600
<v Speaker 5>maybe you just do some calculations and see how that

0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:41.880
<v Speaker 5>will work out if you if you did it for

0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:43.840
<v Speaker 5>just a little bit less money than you would have

0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:44.839
<v Speaker 5>done originally.

0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:48.880
<v Speaker 10>My other question is, what what does the difference between

0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:51.039
<v Speaker 10>like QQQ and qqq M.

0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:52.120
<v Speaker 4>You broke up a little bit.

0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:55.120
<v Speaker 10>What you say was the difference between like QQQ and

0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:57.040
<v Speaker 10>qqq M.

0:05:57.080 --> 0:06:00.080
<v Speaker 5>I think qqq M, Troy, I know the cute to

0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.440
<v Speaker 5>t but let me make sure I get a right

0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:03.080
<v Speaker 5>information on that.

0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:05.440
<v Speaker 10>I think it's a mini QQQ, but I would I

0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:07.480
<v Speaker 10>would like to know if there's a difference, like from

0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:11.520
<v Speaker 10>the percentage of return or the amount of stack that

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:15.040
<v Speaker 10>that that they invest in. Was that one is around

0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:17.760
<v Speaker 10>like three something and then the QQM is on like

0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:18.600
<v Speaker 10>one something.

0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:21.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, let me let me look, let me look, I

0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:23.560
<v Speaker 5>have Troy doing research on it. Get back to you

0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:23.880
<v Speaker 5>on that.

0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:28.800
<v Speaker 10>Okay, thank you appreciate it. And also for form irate

0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:31.640
<v Speaker 10>rough area for kids, so like do they have to

0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:34.279
<v Speaker 10>be a certain age for to start a rough area

0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:34.839
<v Speaker 10>for kids?

0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:37.279
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, they have to be well yes or no,

0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:38.760
<v Speaker 5>they have to if you're doing it.

0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:40.839
<v Speaker 4>If you're not self.

0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:42.600
<v Speaker 5>Employed, then they have to be a working age, like

0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:44.680
<v Speaker 5>they have to have a job. The working the age

0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:46.880
<v Speaker 5>depends on what state you live in. But as long

0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:48.719
<v Speaker 5>as they have working papers and they have a job

0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:50.760
<v Speaker 5>and they actually have to be working, that's another thing.

0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.240
<v Speaker 4>So as soon as they're able to work, you can

0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:53.520
<v Speaker 4>do it.

0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:56.760
<v Speaker 5>But if you're self employed, it's a little different because

0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:59.839
<v Speaker 5>you can actually hire your child before they legally have

0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:03.200
<v Speaker 5>like working papers, as long as they're actually working and

0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:06.200
<v Speaker 5>they can actually do a job. So obviously, like you

0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:08.479
<v Speaker 5>can't hire a two year old, but like if you

0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:10.760
<v Speaker 5>have like somebody that's like ten or eleven years old

0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:12.560
<v Speaker 5>and they're actually doing you just have to be able

0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:14.480
<v Speaker 5>to justify it in case you have to get audited.

0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:17.840
<v Speaker 5>But you have more flexibility and you can hire younger

0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:20.720
<v Speaker 5>if you're self employed. But if the child is working

0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.880
<v Speaker 5>just a regular job whenever, if they work a job,

0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:25.680
<v Speaker 5>then they could you could put money into the IRA.

0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:27.360
<v Speaker 10>It's so basically you cannot do it in the course

0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:28.680
<v Speaker 10>your account for the IRA.

0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:32.040
<v Speaker 5>Yeah yeah, no, it's it's a custodial account. It's just

0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:35.040
<v Speaker 5>a it's a royal IRA. Still you still you're still

0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:37.680
<v Speaker 5>like the child is still a minor. The child's still

0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:39.840
<v Speaker 5>a minor, so it's not like you know, you got

0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:41.320
<v Speaker 5>to set it up for them and you put the

0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:43.840
<v Speaker 5>money in. But you know, you can have a custodio

0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:46.800
<v Speaker 5>account where it's just in the market and there's no

0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:50.520
<v Speaker 5>retirement account attached to it, or it's the retirement account

0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:52.440
<v Speaker 5>but it's still it's still a Custudio account.

0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:57.800
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, Good morning, so thank you for coming on

0:07:57.840 --> 0:07:59.960
<v Speaker 1>the call even though you're not feeling well. That's right,

0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.800
<v Speaker 1>nice of you. And congratulations with the Steve Harvey interview.

0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:06.440
<v Speaker 1>It was really really well done. It was great. So

0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:08.760
<v Speaker 1>you guys must feel so proud of yourselves right now,

0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:11.720
<v Speaker 1>So thanks a lot for that as well. My question

0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:14.360
<v Speaker 1>is about my TDA. I am a teacher in New

0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:18.120
<v Speaker 1>York City and I have about ten more years left

0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 1>till I retire, so right now I have They let

0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:24.560
<v Speaker 1>you split up your TDA, your tax defer annuity into

0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:28.640
<v Speaker 1>diversified and fixed. So I believe I've always had it

0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:32.679
<v Speaker 1>like eighty twenty, but I just realized that the diversified

0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:35.360
<v Speaker 1>has options and I didn't know that. So there's like

0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:39.800
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of different options, and I just wanted to know,

0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:42.240
<v Speaker 1>like how, like what's the best way to like pick

0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:46.480
<v Speaker 1>between the different funds because they have like like three

0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:50.640
<v Speaker 1>or four. There's like a sustainable one, there's an international one,

0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:53.760
<v Speaker 1>Like do I just go by like the history or

0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:55.800
<v Speaker 1>do you think it's better to just stay with like

0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:58.120
<v Speaker 1>the one they recommend, which I think is just they

0:08:58.160 --> 0:08:59.640
<v Speaker 1>call it like the diversified.

0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:03.320
<v Speaker 5>It's always good to rule a thumb. You always want

0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:06.400
<v Speaker 5>to look at rate of returns. That's something that's you know,

0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:08.800
<v Speaker 5>a cheat code whenever you look at an investment, especially

0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.520
<v Speaker 5>like four one K or any type of retirement plan investments,

0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:14.880
<v Speaker 5>usually like they'll they'll give you a sheet and it'll

0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:16.760
<v Speaker 5>have like, you know, the different funds, so it's like

0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:19.640
<v Speaker 5>the stable fund, the growth fund, the international funds, and

0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:23.160
<v Speaker 5>then they'll have like the year to date return, three

0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:27.000
<v Speaker 5>year return, five year return, ten year return, census inception.

0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:28.840
<v Speaker 5>What I like to do is look at the longest

0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:32.120
<v Speaker 5>possible time frame, so like ten years or since its inception.

0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:34.920
<v Speaker 5>Sometimes if it's new, it might not have a ten

0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:36.679
<v Speaker 5>year track record. It might have like a five year

0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:38.800
<v Speaker 5>or four year track record. But ye or to try

0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:41.640
<v Speaker 5>to look at the long the longest possible time frame

0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:45.520
<v Speaker 5>and see which one has usually performed for that. Usually,

0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:48.240
<v Speaker 5>like I haven't really been a big fan on international funds.

0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:50.720
<v Speaker 5>It's me personally, especially like in retirement accounts over the

0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:53.560
<v Speaker 5>last like ten years, they haven't really done as good

0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:56.400
<v Speaker 5>as like just international growth growth funds. So it really

0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:58.520
<v Speaker 5>just depends on your risk tolerance. But you know, the

0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:00.720
<v Speaker 5>growth growth funds is always going to something that's going

0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:03.000
<v Speaker 5>to usually you know, be the best as far as

0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:06.280
<v Speaker 5>growth over the course of time. That's like no more

0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:09.079
<v Speaker 5>large cab companies. But the good thing And I don't

0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:11.000
<v Speaker 5>know if they changed it, but I know a few

0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:13.640
<v Speaker 5>years ago for the fixed account for the city, how

0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:15.920
<v Speaker 5>much is the fixed account paign like percent something like that.

0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:18.800
<v Speaker 1>It's it's seven point twenty five. When I started, it

0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:21.520
<v Speaker 1>was eight point five or eight point two five, but

0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:23.760
<v Speaker 1>then they lowered it to seven point two five, so

0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:25.480
<v Speaker 1>I was able to get the eight percent like the

0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:28.160
<v Speaker 1>first two or three years I started teaching. But now

0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:31.000
<v Speaker 1>it's seven point twenty five, and like I have ten

0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:34.640
<v Speaker 1>about ten more years left, so I have like twenty

0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:37.600
<v Speaker 1>years already and I have ten more to go. But

0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:43.040
<v Speaker 1>the sustainable index gives a greater return, but it's very new,

0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:45.360
<v Speaker 1>so it's only like a few years old, so I'm like,

0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:47.800
<v Speaker 1>is this should I trust that? And then they also

0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:50.800
<v Speaker 1>say to like switch it right before you're about to retire,

0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:53.960
<v Speaker 1>to just be in the fixed ones so you don't

0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:56.200
<v Speaker 1>have to worry about like big issues with the market.

0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:56.520
<v Speaker 12>Yeah.

0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:58.640
<v Speaker 5>Well, the good thing with that is that that's pretty

0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:00.360
<v Speaker 5>much I heard of to have a fix accoun that

0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:03.680
<v Speaker 5>earns seven percent. So that is one thing that you know,

0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:06.760
<v Speaker 5>the New York City foh Department. That's like really like

0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:09.840
<v Speaker 5>kind of amazing that they have a fixed account, which

0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:11.360
<v Speaker 5>is like pretty much you know, no matter what the

0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:14.440
<v Speaker 5>stock market does, you can earn seven percent. So usually

0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:16.680
<v Speaker 5>a fixed account in this environment is like one percent

0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:18.960
<v Speaker 5>or less than one percent. So seven percent on a

0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:22.439
<v Speaker 5>fixed account is extremely extremely good. So you know, I

0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:25.000
<v Speaker 5>wouldn't take it all out of there. Definitely would probably

0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:27.240
<v Speaker 5>leave some money in there just for the safety purposes

0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:30.240
<v Speaker 5>of it. Like you know, if all if all else fails,

0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:33.439
<v Speaker 5>if the stock market crashes, you're guaranteed to get seven percent.

0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:36.560
<v Speaker 5>That's not bad, obviously, you know that's not as good

0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:38.400
<v Speaker 5>as if the stock market goes crazy and you get

0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:40.440
<v Speaker 5>thirty percent of twenty percent. But you know, it's all

0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:43.199
<v Speaker 5>about diversification. So I would diversify, but I would leave

0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:46.120
<v Speaker 5>at least at least like probably twenty five percent in

0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:48.840
<v Speaker 5>a fixed account because that's just like a guarantee insurance.

0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:49.240
<v Speaker 4>Almost.

0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:52.880
<v Speaker 9>All right, thank you Sedalia. All right, Dwight, we're coming

0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:55.440
<v Speaker 9>to you on place, but you're u muted. You should

0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:58.040
<v Speaker 9>be able to speak right, looks like he's having difficulties.

0:11:58.280 --> 0:11:59.880
<v Speaker 4>Sometimes you got to on this do them tool.

0:11:59.880 --> 0:12:01.600
<v Speaker 5>You got to make sure you are muted on your

0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:03.719
<v Speaker 5>end too, like we can unmutube, but make sure you're

0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:04.480
<v Speaker 5>muted on your end.

0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:05.679
<v Speaker 4>So we could all Yeah, he.

0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:08.480
<v Speaker 9>Hadn't muted himself, but he wasn't speaking. All right, do right,

0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:11.040
<v Speaker 9>We're gonna go to the next person, Natasha, I mute

0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:12.400
<v Speaker 9>yourself please, football.

0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:15.440
<v Speaker 6>I have a question about a trust. Who do I

0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:18.880
<v Speaker 6>go to the start a trust? Where do you live

0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:20.439
<v Speaker 6>in Maryland?

0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:21.680
<v Speaker 12>Well?

0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:23.600
<v Speaker 4>I know so the lawyers that we use.

0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:25.480
<v Speaker 5>You know, the thing with the lawyers that is different,

0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:28.280
<v Speaker 5>Like MG he could practice in almost any state for

0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:30.559
<v Speaker 5>the for the mortgages, but lawyers they have to they

0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:32.480
<v Speaker 5>have to be licensed in the state. So I know

0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:35.200
<v Speaker 5>we've used to being a lot. I know she's licensed

0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:36.800
<v Speaker 5>in New York and New Jersey. I don't know if

0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:40.240
<v Speaker 5>she's licensed in Maryland, but I think that we we

0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:42.720
<v Speaker 5>had somebody that was licensed in Maryland, because I remember

0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:44.960
<v Speaker 5>I got that question before from somebody from Maryland. But

0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:47.280
<v Speaker 5>if not, we can definitely. You know, Look, I don't

0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:48.640
<v Speaker 5>want to give you answer right now because I don't

0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:49.960
<v Speaker 5>know at the top of my head. But if we

0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:51.680
<v Speaker 5>could put it in a Facebook back that we, you know,

0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:55.040
<v Speaker 5>do some research and find some good attorneys, maybe Magna.

0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:56.680
<v Speaker 4>Maybe that's something that we can just do period, like

0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:57.760

<v Speaker 7>Trump's leadership. I'm Christy Noman, the United States Secretary of

0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:18.240
<v Speaker 7>Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border crossings are

0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:21.680
<v Speaker 7>at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over one hundred

0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:25.600
<v Speaker 7>thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you are here illegally,

0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:29.440
<v Speaker 7>your next you will be fined nearly one thousand dollars

0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:33.600
<v Speaker 7>a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will never return. But

0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:37.200
<v Speaker 7>if you register using our CBP home app and leave now,

0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:40.680
<v Speaker 7>you could be allowed to return legally. Do what's right,

0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:46.200
<v Speaker 7>leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws border and families

0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:47.240
<v Speaker 7>will be protected.

0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:49.280
<v Speaker 2>Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland.

0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:52.840
<v Speaker 5>Security highlights some different professionals in different areas of the country,

0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:55.320
<v Speaker 5>especially the law thing, because that's something that you know,

0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:58.040
<v Speaker 5>you depending on what state you live in, you got

0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:01.080
<v Speaker 5>to really use the lawyer as practicing in your state,

0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:02.760
<v Speaker 5>and that could become a little tricky if you live

0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:05.000
<v Speaker 5>in states that you know, we haven't really featured lawyers

0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:08.360
<v Speaker 5>in that state. So okay, yeah, the legal Club, we

0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:10.600
<v Speaker 5>have a legal club actually, so maybe that's something that

0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:13.720
<v Speaker 5>the Legal Club can can can can do.

0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:16.960
<v Speaker 6>And one more quick question I remember you were saying

0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:18.920
<v Speaker 6>that I can I think it was thirteen or fourteen.

0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:23.520
<v Speaker 6>You should put six thousand in a IRA for your child?

0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:26.000
<v Speaker 6>Is that in it? It could be an estimate. I

0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:29.200
<v Speaker 6>think y'all was saying one million. Is that six thousand

0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:32.560
<v Speaker 6>and four when she's fourteen or six thousand every year

0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:34.920
<v Speaker 6>would equate to the estimate.

0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:37.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, So what I did when I thought I was

0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:38.400
<v Speaker 5>on a breakfast club when I was, I said that

0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:40.800
<v Speaker 5>a while ago. I was using an example like if

0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:44.160
<v Speaker 5>you put six thousand a year, and from I believe

0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:46.360
<v Speaker 5>it was like the example that I gave was like

0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:50.160
<v Speaker 5>from fourteen to twenty I believe like from fourteen to twenty,

0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:52.880
<v Speaker 5>and I just used a hypothetical like if it earned

0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:55.320
<v Speaker 5>temper cent, I use like QQQ, which you know has

0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:57.680
<v Speaker 5>averaged more than ten percent over the last twenty years.

0:16:57.680 --> 0:16:59.240
<v Speaker 5>But I'm like, all right, if you earned like ten

0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:02.520
<v Speaker 5>percent a year by the time there's sixty, then they

0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:05.280
<v Speaker 5>will have a million dollars. So obviously you know it's

0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:08.280
<v Speaker 5>it's not like one hundred percent guarantee because it depends

0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:10.399
<v Speaker 5>on the market. But that was an example that I

0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:12.359
<v Speaker 5>had gave is to kind of illustrate the power of

0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:14.320
<v Speaker 5>investing early because if you think about it, even if

0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:16.200
<v Speaker 5>it's not six thousand whatever, you can do, but that's

0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:18.800
<v Speaker 5>only like four years or you know, six years of investing,

0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:22.840
<v Speaker 5>and you know, just by the compounding interest and leaving

0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:24.840
<v Speaker 5>it in for such a long period of time, than

0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:26.840
<v Speaker 5>that equals a million dollars without even having to put

0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:29.080
<v Speaker 5>any more money in after the age of twenty. So

0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:31.840
<v Speaker 5>you know, that was just an example of you know,

0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:34.639
<v Speaker 5>the power of compounding interest. And you definitely and I

0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:36.400
<v Speaker 5>think the example that actually gave us with the raw

0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:38.200
<v Speaker 5>fire and the raw Fire ray is even better for

0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:41.080
<v Speaker 5>kids because they don't pay any taxes or when they

0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:43.360
<v Speaker 5>take the money out. So now you set up there,

0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:45.840
<v Speaker 5>you set up their retirement account when they're young, and

0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:48.800
<v Speaker 5>you know, by the time they get they get to retirement,

0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:50.720
<v Speaker 5>they're gonna have They're gonna have, you know, a tremendous

0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:52.880
<v Speaker 5>amount of money just by the money that was set

0:17:52.920 --> 0:17:55.439
<v Speaker 5>up for them, you know, while they were teenagers, and

0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:57.440
<v Speaker 5>that had nothing to do with you know, their own

0:17:57.520 --> 0:17:59.600
<v Speaker 5>fall one cage or their own iras when they get

0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:02.280
<v Speaker 5>older to set it up for themselves. So that's definitely

0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:05.879
<v Speaker 5>a strategy that parents can use for their children whenever

0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:09.480
<v Speaker 5>they turn legal working age. And the rule is you

0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:11.920
<v Speaker 5>can put up you could put up to well, six

0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:13.560
<v Speaker 5>thousand is the max, but you can put up to

0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:16.160
<v Speaker 5>whatever the child made, Like if they have a part

0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:18.359
<v Speaker 5>time job, and let's say they made like three thousand

0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:20.520
<v Speaker 5>dollars for the year, and you can put up to

0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:23.320
<v Speaker 5>you know, three thousand dollars, but it's not unreasonable to

0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:25.400
<v Speaker 5>have six thousand dollars because it's like if they work

0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:27.200
<v Speaker 5>like CVS or something like that, you know, they make

0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:30.200
<v Speaker 5>five hundred dollars a month, that's six thousand dollars a year,

0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:32.320
<v Speaker 5>So five hundred dollars a month, that's not really a

0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:34.440
<v Speaker 5>lot for a part time job, so you know, and

0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:37.359
<v Speaker 5>then if you're self employed, it's even better because if

0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:39.760
<v Speaker 5>you're self employed, then you can hire your child and

0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:42.560
<v Speaker 5>you can pay them, and when you pay them, you

0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:45.120
<v Speaker 5>get a tax deduction for the money that you paid them,

0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:48.119
<v Speaker 5>and then that money you can put into the rough

0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:50.760
<v Speaker 5>IRA or IRA for your child. So that's like a

0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:53.119
<v Speaker 5>double eds sor because now you're actually saving money on

0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:56.600
<v Speaker 5>taxes and your child is working for you and you

0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:58.800
<v Speaker 5>get to save money for their retirement. So a lot

0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:00.560
<v Speaker 5>of different things that you can do with that. But yeah,

0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:02.879
<v Speaker 5>that's some different ideas for sure. So as far as

0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:05.040
<v Speaker 5>the investment side, Yeah, the dollar cost average, I think

0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:06.760
<v Speaker 5>you had talked about that. That's a great way to

0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:08.919
<v Speaker 5>start if you you know, it sounds like you started

0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:11.240
<v Speaker 5>something with the retirement with the row. But I don't

0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:13.080
<v Speaker 5>know if you have a brokerage account. But if you

0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:16.359
<v Speaker 5>don't open a brokerage account, a non retirement brokerage account,

0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:19.119
<v Speaker 5>so that's Monday that is not tied to your retirement,

0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:21.520
<v Speaker 5>you can invest in that every single month. You spoke

0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:24.640
<v Speaker 5>about Lawrence's class, so I'm assuming that you've been You've

0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:26.119
<v Speaker 5>been tapped in with that. So that's great as far

0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:27.520
<v Speaker 5>as you talk about investing, and then of course we

0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:29.800
<v Speaker 5>talk about investing every Monday with Market Monday, so you know,

0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:32.159
<v Speaker 5>we talk about the ets, the index funds, all that stuff.

0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:33.960
<v Speaker 5>So you can pick a couple of stocks funds that

0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:35.840
<v Speaker 5>you feel comfortable with and start putting money in every

0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:37.920
<v Speaker 5>single month. That's one way to just get the ball

0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:41.640
<v Speaker 5>rolling and you know, get into the actual investment game

0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:44.600
<v Speaker 5>where you're putting money away over the consistent period of time. Now,

0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:48.800
<v Speaker 5>as far as the pilot situation, obviously from what you're saying,

0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:51.640
<v Speaker 5>that's a little bit more capital a lot more capital intensive,

0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:55.840
<v Speaker 5>So it probably would be difficult to self praise or

0:19:55.880 --> 0:19:59.359
<v Speaker 5>self fund that type of project. Me personally, I'm real

0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:01.640
<v Speaker 5>big on collabor operation. That's something that you know we've

0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:04.160
<v Speaker 5>practiced and we still do to this day, is collaborate

0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:07.200
<v Speaker 5>with different people. And I just personally feel like, you know,

0:20:07.240 --> 0:20:09.640
<v Speaker 5>you can do a lot more together than you can separate.

0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:12.840
<v Speaker 5>And even if that means, you know, working with other

0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:15.040
<v Speaker 5>people for equity, like in giving up equity, like it's

0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:17.399
<v Speaker 5>not wrong with giving upity, Like we have given up

0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:21.080
<v Speaker 5>equity and our third partner, Mike, he's a childhood friend

0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:22.920
<v Speaker 5>of ours, but when we brought them on, we didn't

0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:24.720
<v Speaker 5>have enough money to actually pay them, so we gave

0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:25.600
<v Speaker 5>him a part of the company.

0:20:25.600 --> 0:20:26.679
<v Speaker 4>Now he's our business partners.

0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:30.240
<v Speaker 5>So I think giving up ownership, giving up a portion

0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:32.440
<v Speaker 5>of equity and giving up ownership of two different things.

0:20:32.480 --> 0:20:35.400
<v Speaker 5>Giving up some equity can be a smart move if

0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:37.520
<v Speaker 5>somebody can add value. That's why you give up equity.

0:20:37.560 --> 0:20:40.160
<v Speaker 5>If you don't necessarily have the resources and you need

0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:43.240
<v Speaker 5>to bring somebody on. Now they can provide their talent,

0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:45.800
<v Speaker 5>their relationships, you know, whatever they can bring to the table,

0:20:46.200 --> 0:20:48.080
<v Speaker 5>and they're not working for money because now they're a

0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:49.399
<v Speaker 5>part owner in the company.

0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:52.600
<v Speaker 4>So the company's success is tied to their success.

0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:54.800
<v Speaker 5>So it's in their best interest for that company to

0:20:54.800 --> 0:20:56.800
<v Speaker 5>be successful because the more money that the company makes,

0:20:56.800 --> 0:20:58.399
<v Speaker 5>the more money that they make, as opposed to just

0:20:58.480 --> 0:21:01.760
<v Speaker 5>hiring an employee, and you know, if it's a good employee,

0:21:01.840 --> 0:21:03.760
<v Speaker 5>then you know they'll work is hard just because you

0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:06.159
<v Speaker 5>know that's what they're supposed to do. But obviously, you

0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:08.480
<v Speaker 5>know there's a lot of employees that don't care because

0:21:08.640 --> 0:21:10.960
<v Speaker 5>you know, it doesn't matter how well the company does

0:21:11.080 --> 0:21:12.720
<v Speaker 5>or you know, if they're still going to get paid

0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:15.359
<v Speaker 5>the same amount. So that's why the equity play is

0:21:15.400 --> 0:21:18.520
<v Speaker 5>not always a bad play. Partnerships are not always bad.

0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:21.399
<v Speaker 5>It's just a matter of just being intelligent about it,

0:21:21.520 --> 0:21:24.800
<v Speaker 5>keeping ownership, keeping you know, a majority state, things of

0:21:24.800 --> 0:21:27.399
<v Speaker 5>that nature. So I would approach it from that standpoint.

0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:29.720
<v Speaker 5>I would approach it from partnerships. Look to see, you say,

0:21:29.720 --> 0:21:31.439
<v Speaker 5>you've been in the industry for a long time, so

0:21:31.440 --> 0:21:33.199
<v Speaker 5>I'm sure you have a lot of great relationships with

0:21:33.240 --> 0:21:36.600
<v Speaker 5>different people, and you know, who knows who would want

0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:37.960
<v Speaker 5>to work with you, or who won't want to partner

0:21:38.000 --> 0:21:39.280
<v Speaker 5>with you, and different things.

0:21:39.400 --> 0:21:40.040
<v Speaker 4>Of that nature.

0:21:40.080 --> 0:21:42.399
<v Speaker 5>So that's how I would approach it, as opposed to

0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:44.560
<v Speaker 5>even thinking about funding it out of my own pocket

0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:47.040
<v Speaker 5>with that much capital. If it was less capital, but

0:21:47.160 --> 0:21:48.680
<v Speaker 5>if it's a lot, if it's gonna be real, real

0:21:48.720 --> 0:21:51.080
<v Speaker 5>capital intensive, then you know, you might want to go

0:21:51.280 --> 0:21:52.040
<v Speaker 5>a different route.

0:21:52.200 --> 0:21:55.440
<v Speaker 12>Okay, that's good though. That's the partnership is definitely something

0:21:55.480 --> 0:21:59.720
<v Speaker 12>that's been out there. It's just again really holding in

0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:03.240
<v Speaker 12>our owning in on the or honing in on the

0:22:03.280 --> 0:22:06.080
<v Speaker 12>ownership piece. We definitely want to be attachment. I'm pretty

0:22:06.080 --> 0:22:09.119
<v Speaker 12>sure you can tell, like sometimes people don't take you seriously,

0:22:09.440 --> 0:22:12.920
<v Speaker 12>but like I said, even with having the experience, it's

0:22:13.040 --> 0:22:15.040
<v Speaker 12>like that. But that was some good insight. Thank you

0:22:15.080 --> 0:22:16.760
<v Speaker 12>so much all r P.

0:22:16.960 --> 0:22:17.160
<v Speaker 1>Math.

0:22:17.240 --> 0:22:18.840
<v Speaker 9>We're coming to you and meet yourself please.

0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:20.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, what's going on?

0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:20.760
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

0:22:20.880 --> 0:22:24.440
<v Speaker 8>Hey, okay, cool, cool, Hey. I just wanted to ask

0:22:25.080 --> 0:22:28.080
<v Speaker 8>a quick question. I'm sure it's been asked many times.

0:22:28.119 --> 0:22:29.960
<v Speaker 8>It's about four one k rollover.

0:22:30.640 --> 0:22:33.920
<v Speaker 3>My specific question is I have like three four one

0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:38.879
<v Speaker 3>case from the previous employers. I'm gonna roll like one

0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:41.520
<v Speaker 3>of the bigger ones into a new one. That I'm

0:22:41.560 --> 0:22:45.280
<v Speaker 3>participating that the employee is participating in. But then the

0:22:45.400 --> 0:22:49.959
<v Speaker 3>two smaller ones I want to be able to invest myself.

0:22:50.440 --> 0:22:52.280
<v Speaker 3>So just kind of to sum it up, I have

0:22:53.040 --> 0:22:55.480
<v Speaker 3>I had it with Fidelity. I'm going to entrust her

0:22:55.680 --> 0:22:59.040
<v Speaker 3>the lguit amount into a company named the Principal, and

0:22:59.119 --> 0:23:02.840
<v Speaker 3>I've always uh trade with TD. I had a brokege

0:23:02.840 --> 0:23:06.240
<v Speaker 3>account with excuse me, with Fidelity, but I'm I'm transferring.

0:23:06.359 --> 0:23:09.680
<v Speaker 3>I transferred those funds into TD because just what I've

0:23:09.760 --> 0:23:12.320
<v Speaker 3>heard is that it's it's it's more user friendly things

0:23:12.359 --> 0:23:17.080
<v Speaker 3>of that nature. Now my question is with the other

0:23:17.200 --> 0:23:19.920
<v Speaker 3>two smaller ones that I'm not going to transfer into

0:23:20.119 --> 0:23:25.040
<v Speaker 3>the the account that with that's with my employer. I

0:23:25.119 --> 0:23:28.960
<v Speaker 3>want to have a little bit of flexibility to to

0:23:29.280 --> 0:23:31.480
<v Speaker 3>to move those around. So I didn't know if I

0:23:31.520 --> 0:23:34.440
<v Speaker 3>should just keep the funds with Fidelity and have a

0:23:34.480 --> 0:23:37.800
<v Speaker 3>separate I R there, or transfer it into t D

0:23:37.880 --> 0:23:41.720
<v Speaker 3>where I have my brokerage account that way. You know,

0:23:42.080 --> 0:23:44.240
<v Speaker 3>I guess, I guess I'm a little confused on what's

0:23:44.280 --> 0:23:47.200
<v Speaker 3>the benefits of having it having an I R A

0:23:48.680 --> 0:23:51.439
<v Speaker 3>with a different company because the I'm not gonna put

0:23:51.480 --> 0:23:53.800
<v Speaker 3>it with the you know, I'm not trying. I'm trying

0:23:53.840 --> 0:23:56.359
<v Speaker 3>not to roll everything into my my four o K

0:23:56.840 --> 0:23:58.960
<v Speaker 3>four one K. I'm trying to make sure that I

0:23:59.040 --> 0:24:02.000
<v Speaker 3>have some flexibility to to move it around, you know,

0:24:02.119 --> 0:24:03.000
<v Speaker 3>as I feel fit.

0:24:03.200 --> 0:24:06.200
<v Speaker 5>So, yeah, your current four one k's with Fidelity, and

0:24:06.320 --> 0:24:08.800
<v Speaker 5>you're debating whether you should roll into an IRA with

0:24:08.920 --> 0:24:10.360
<v Speaker 5>Fidelity or I RA with TD?

0:24:10.680 --> 0:24:11.600
<v Speaker 4>Is that the question?

0:24:12.720 --> 0:24:15.800
<v Speaker 8>So it's actually with a different So my current four

0:24:15.920 --> 0:24:18.440
<v Speaker 8>one K, I'm transferring.

0:24:17.920 --> 0:24:19.560
<v Speaker 4>Your old your old one K.

0:24:19.880 --> 0:24:22.040
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, the old one side. The old one was with Fidelity.

0:24:22.840 --> 0:24:25.560
<v Speaker 8>So I'm transferring the old ones. Two of one of

0:24:25.600 --> 0:24:28.320
<v Speaker 8>the old ones the larger amount to one that my

0:24:28.800 --> 0:24:31.920
<v Speaker 8>employe is participating. And that's called the principle. So I'm

0:24:31.960 --> 0:24:34.520
<v Speaker 8>already just that's that's kind of just out out there.

0:24:34.640 --> 0:24:36.800
<v Speaker 8>I'm gonna just put the bigger one into the one

0:24:36.840 --> 0:24:39.320
<v Speaker 8>that they're contributing to. But the two smaller ones that

0:24:39.359 --> 0:24:42.280
<v Speaker 8>I have with Fidelity, I was gonna, I guess I'm

0:24:42.320 --> 0:24:45.520
<v Speaker 8>trying to figure out if it makes sense to transferred

0:24:45.560 --> 0:24:48.040
<v Speaker 8>over to TD since I'm kind of that's where my

0:24:48.080 --> 0:24:50.920
<v Speaker 8>brokenge account is, my individual Brokene account. That way I

0:24:50.960 --> 0:24:53.920
<v Speaker 8>could kind of line things up. That's that's what I'm thinking.

0:24:54.400 --> 0:24:57.040
<v Speaker 3>Or I don't even know if there's any benefit of

0:24:57.240 --> 0:25:00.520
<v Speaker 3>just having it transfer, taking that for one K and

0:25:00.600 --> 0:25:05.120
<v Speaker 3>turning it into a rayah Ira with UH with Fidelity

0:25:05.160 --> 0:25:06.520
<v Speaker 3>and just keeping it where it is.

0:25:07.040 --> 0:25:08.879
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I think it just depends on whichever one you

0:25:08.920 --> 0:25:12.240
<v Speaker 5>feel comfortable with, right, Like I mean, Fidelity TD. They're

0:25:12.240 --> 0:25:15.680
<v Speaker 5>both good companies, They're both, you know, very similar. I

0:25:15.880 --> 0:25:17.359
<v Speaker 5>personally like TD a little bit.

0:25:17.359 --> 0:25:17.800
<v Speaker 4>I have both.

0:25:17.800 --> 0:25:20.359
<v Speaker 5>I have FIDELLITI and TV TD. I like TD a

0:25:20.359 --> 0:25:22.720
<v Speaker 5>little better because it just has a better user interface

0:25:22.920 --> 0:25:26.200
<v Speaker 5>in my opinion. But I mean it's not like one

0:25:26.320 --> 0:25:28.360
<v Speaker 5>is dramatically better than the others. So I guess it's

0:25:28.400 --> 0:25:30.199
<v Speaker 5>just whatever you feel comfortable with. But you can roll

0:25:30.280 --> 0:25:32.680
<v Speaker 5>it over into it a Fidelity I RA and you know,

0:25:33.280 --> 0:25:35.520
<v Speaker 5>have you know control over it, and you know, pick

0:25:35.560 --> 0:25:37.200
<v Speaker 5>the investments that you want, or you can roll it

0:25:37.200 --> 0:25:38.840
<v Speaker 5>over into a t D I RA and have control

0:25:38.880 --> 0:25:40.720
<v Speaker 5>over and pick the investments that you want. So it

0:25:40.800 --> 0:25:43.080
<v Speaker 5>really just depends, honestly. I mean, that's that's just up

0:25:43.119 --> 0:25:46.480
<v Speaker 5>to you, like whatever whichever one you feel most comfortable with.

0:25:47.160 --> 0:25:49.280
<v Speaker 5>Like I said, me, personally, I just like TD. I

0:25:49.440 --> 0:25:51.480
<v Speaker 5>like TD better than fidelity because I just feel like

0:25:51.520 --> 0:25:52.840
<v Speaker 5>it has a better user interface.

0:25:52.880 --> 0:25:56.800
<v Speaker 4>And yeah, so that's not true that that's my personal opinion.

0:25:56.920 --> 0:25:58.800
<v Speaker 5>So you know, but you can you can do either

0:25:58.920 --> 0:26:02.440
<v Speaker 5>or I mean there's really no no dramatic difference from

0:26:02.520 --> 0:26:03.320
<v Speaker 5>one then the other.

0:26:03.400 --> 0:26:04.280
<v Speaker 4>Yea you similar?

0:26:04.480 --> 0:26:05.119
<v Speaker 8>Okay, all right?

0:26:05.160 --> 0:26:07.639
<v Speaker 3>And just the last thing on that on that no

0:26:07.760 --> 0:26:10.680
<v Speaker 3>matter where I go to transfer it, changing that four

0:26:10.760 --> 0:26:14.000
<v Speaker 3>one K into an IRA, what's really the benefits of

0:26:14.240 --> 0:26:18.240
<v Speaker 3>the IRA? When I'm am I able to move things

0:26:18.359 --> 0:26:21.000
<v Speaker 3>around as I feel like, So I know I can't

0:26:21.040 --> 0:26:23.359
<v Speaker 3>do that with the four one K. So I'm assuming

0:26:23.400 --> 0:26:25.680
<v Speaker 3>that's just the only benefit is the flexibility?

0:26:25.760 --> 0:26:28.800
<v Speaker 5>Right, Well, a full one K it's pretty much like

0:26:28.880 --> 0:26:30.800
<v Speaker 5>frozen in the sense when you're not working it anymore,

0:26:30.880 --> 0:26:33.440
<v Speaker 5>not frozen, wight, it's not growing. But when you when

0:26:33.440 --> 0:26:35.520
<v Speaker 5>you leave a job, you can't add money to your

0:26:35.560 --> 0:26:38.159
<v Speaker 5>fall one K anymore, you can't ball from it, you

0:26:38.280 --> 0:26:41.399
<v Speaker 5>don't have any like advice, and you're stuck with the

0:26:41.480 --> 0:26:43.639
<v Speaker 5>investments that's provided for you from the four one K.

0:26:43.760 --> 0:26:46.119
<v Speaker 5>So fall one K has like a menu of different

0:26:46.200 --> 0:26:48.800
<v Speaker 5>options like they have like let's say fifteen different funds

0:26:48.840 --> 0:26:50.479
<v Speaker 5>that you can pick and choose from but you can

0:26:50.560 --> 0:26:54.159
<v Speaker 5>only invest in those funds. So with an IRA, you

0:26:54.280 --> 0:26:56.280
<v Speaker 5>get to pick and choose the funds that you that

0:26:56.400 --> 0:26:59.359
<v Speaker 5>you want, right. You can add you can add money

0:26:59.400 --> 0:27:01.720
<v Speaker 5>to it, like let's say going forward, like you start

0:27:01.760 --> 0:27:03.920
<v Speaker 5>a business, or your job doesn't have a four one K,

0:27:03.960 --> 0:27:05.440
<v Speaker 5>your new job doesn't have a four one K, or

0:27:05.680 --> 0:27:08.400
<v Speaker 5>you can always add money to an IRA. IRA also

0:27:08.480 --> 0:27:10.399
<v Speaker 5>can serve as like a central hub where you know,

0:27:10.520 --> 0:27:13.280
<v Speaker 5>you might leave multiple different jobs throughout the course of

0:27:13.359 --> 0:27:15.600
<v Speaker 5>your life and you might have like six different four

0:27:15.680 --> 0:27:17.760
<v Speaker 5>one k that that becomes a little difficult to manage,

0:27:17.800 --> 0:27:20.200
<v Speaker 5>but you can always roll those four one ks into

0:27:20.320 --> 0:27:22.880
<v Speaker 5>an IRA and have that as like the central hub

0:27:23.000 --> 0:27:24.240
<v Speaker 5>for all of your old four one k.

0:27:24.520 --> 0:27:28.280
<v Speaker 4>So in a nutshell, it just gives you more flexibility.

0:27:29.320 --> 0:27:31.560
<v Speaker 5>Gives you more flexibility as far as you know, being

0:27:31.600 --> 0:27:34.800
<v Speaker 5>able to pick and choose your investments and you know,

0:27:35.359 --> 0:27:37.520
<v Speaker 5>actually being able to put money into it as well,

0:27:37.680 --> 0:27:40.479
<v Speaker 5>so those you don't have once you leave the company

0:27:40.840 --> 0:27:42.920
<v Speaker 5>with an old four to one K. So that's really

0:27:43.000 --> 0:27:45.359
<v Speaker 5>the benefit with the IRA as opposed to keeping the

0:27:45.440 --> 0:27:47.200
<v Speaker 5>money in the old for for oh one k.

0:27:47.520 --> 0:27:48.480
<v Speaker 8>All right, sounds good.

0:27:48.520 --> 0:27:49.119
<v Speaker 3>I appreciate it.

0:27:49.240 --> 0:27:50.240
<v Speaker 9>Man Andrew.

0:27:50.240 --> 0:27:52.800
<v Speaker 4>You are coming to you and yourself with and somebody

0:27:52.840 --> 0:27:54.159
<v Speaker 4>saying a shot. You can't access them.

0:27:54.280 --> 0:27:54.680
<v Speaker 10>You can't.

0:27:54.720 --> 0:27:57.359
<v Speaker 5>You can't access the IRA. You just pay penalty on it,

0:27:57.520 --> 0:27:59.840
<v Speaker 5>just like a four to one K. If you have

0:28:00.119 --> 0:28:02.080
<v Speaker 5>an all four one K and you took the money

0:28:02.119 --> 0:28:04.480
<v Speaker 5>out before fifty nine and a half, you pay a

0:28:04.520 --> 0:28:06.720
<v Speaker 5>penalty on it. But there are some provisions where you

0:28:06.760 --> 0:28:09.359
<v Speaker 5>can actually take some money out of without paying the

0:28:09.480 --> 0:28:10.200
<v Speaker 5>penalty tax.

0:28:10.280 --> 0:28:12.639
<v Speaker 4>But you always pay state and federal tax on an

0:28:12.720 --> 0:28:15.560
<v Speaker 4>IRA or a fall one K, so they're both the same.

0:28:16.040 --> 0:28:19.680
