You are in a profession 73 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: that pays honey, and that offers stable employment because they 74 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: always need nurses, chiad Okay, my mom is a nurse. 75 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: They you know, they fly to Jamaica and Nigeria they 76 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: will find nurses. Like that's how bad they need nurses. 77 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: You have no debt, which is amazing. You are contributing 78 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: to your four to one K and to your raw. 79 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: So I'm going to answer both of your questions. You're 80 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: going to be the episode because girl, I want to 81 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: lean in to you and pour into you, and I 82 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: just want you to know that you're doing a great, great, 83 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: great great job, that you're not lost. But I'm glad 84 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: that you're here. Okay, hold that thought and we'll be 85 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: right back. So let's answer the Wroth Ira question or 86 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: the Wroth question. So the maximum amount, because Brianna, you 87 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: told me you're you're thirty three that you can contribute 88 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: to a Wroth in twenty twenty four, because almost every 89 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: year they push it up. Is seven thousand dollars if 90 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: you are under fifty years old and if you are over. 91 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: If you were over fifty, then there's something called the 92 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: catchup contribution that you could do another one thousand dollars, 93 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: so that would have put you at eight. But for you, 94 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: Brianna had seven thousand dollars. So I don't know what 95 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: two percent of your income is, but just be mindful 96 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: that it should not because for me, for example, for 97 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: me sometimes I actually have to shift my contributions during 98 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: the year to make sure that I don't go over. 99 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: Because you don't want to overcontribute because you will be 100 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 1: in trouble. I've done it before. Low have mercy, So 101 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: make sure that you're keeping it below the seven percent, 102 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: just so you have the knowledge. The maximum contribution that 103 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,799 Speaker 1: you could do to a four one K is twenty 104 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: three thousand, you know, and if you were over fifty, 105 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 1: there's an additional seventy five hundred dollars catchup, you know. 106 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: But just just keeping those numbers in mind, you're looking 107 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: great for your four one K. I don't know if 108 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: it's you know, even close to twenty three thousand that 109 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 1: you're putting aside. 110 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 2: Most people don't really get to that. 111 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,799 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna fall lot of money, but your wroth 112 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: it's easy to go over, and you want to be 113 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: mindful and just so people understand what a wroth IRA is. 114 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: IRASE don't stands for individual retirement account. The WROTH part 115 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: means that you get to put money after taxes. So 116 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: your four one K means that Brianna, let's just say 117 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: Brianna makes one hundred thousand dollars and she puts eight percent, 118 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: she said, into a four one K. Of the one 119 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 1: hundred thousand, she's going to put eight thousand into her 120 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: four one K, and maybe her company matches, which would 121 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,119 Speaker 1: be great. Let's just say they match exactly the eight percent. 122 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: So now she puts an eight, they put an eight. 123 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: Now she got sixteen thousand dollars a year. You cook 124 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: and with grease, but it's still well over that twenty 125 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: three thousand. 126 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 2: That's the max, right. 127 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: But the special thing about a four one K is 128 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: that it gives you pre tax benefits. The government says, hey, Brianna, 129 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: you make your one hundred thousand. You know that's the 130 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: number we made up Normally we would tax you on 131 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 1: one hundred. But girl, you put money in a tax 132 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: advantage account called a four one K, and we're going 133 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 1: to lower your the money that you're going to get 134 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: taxed on by the money you set aside. You put 135 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: eight thousand up. We say we're not going to tax 136 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: you one hundred. We're going to tax you on ninety 137 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: two thousand, because one hundred thousand and minus eight is 138 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: ninety two thousand. So it allows you to pay less 139 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 1: taxes now because you but that money, that eight thousand 140 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: that you're putting away every year, when it comes time 141 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: for retirement sixty five and a half, then you will 142 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: pay taxes on it later. So a four to one 143 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: K will allow you to save taxes now, you pay 144 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: taxes later. What I love is that Brianna is playing 145 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: both sides of the guy. She is getting her tax 146 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: advantage now, but with a WROTH, you have to pay 147 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,359 Speaker 1: taxes now, but you get the tax advantage down the line. 148 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: So a Roth says, Brianna, the money you actually take home, 149 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: this ninety two thousand that's left over that you take home, 150 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: you're setting aside two percent. So let's do that math. 151 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: I'm just like making it super easy math. Let's I'm 152 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: taking my calculator out, that calculata, so ninety two thousand 153 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: that's your take home. Just like I said, we're just 154 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: making it up times zero point two percent. That's eighteen hundred, 155 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: eighteen hundred and forty dollars. So that eighteen hundred and 156 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: forty dollars has already been taxed. It gets to go 157 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: into the rowth I array. And when you are fifty 158 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: one and a fifty five and a half and you 159 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: can withdraw, well, you can really withdraw from your rowth 160 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: at any time, but and typically people wait until retirement 161 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: time because they don't want to get any sort of penalty. 162 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: You take that money out, you don't have to pay 163 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: tax on the money you put in because you already 164 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: were taxed on it. But you also don't have to 165 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: pay taxes on the money that it grew. So that 166 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: eighteen thousand and forty dollars, if it continues to grow 167 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: and grow and grow, you get to say, well, I 168 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: already pay tax on the eighteen thousand, on the eighteen hundred, 169 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: but I also don't have to pay taxes on the 170 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: money that it grew to because it's been invested so 171 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: that's incredible. So you're on both sides, and so that's 172 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: that's why I said, girl, you are not lost the 173 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: fact that you are taking advantage on the taxes on 174 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: the front end with your four and K and on 175 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: the back end with your roth Ira. 176 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 2: We love that for you, queen. Just check the numbers 177 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 2: seven thousand. Just stay underneath that, okay. 178 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 1: And if you're not sure, typically when you get your 179 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: like I think you get like a monthly statement, there's 180 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: usually like a person on there that you can reach 181 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: out to and just say, if I continue contributing at 182 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: this amount, you know, when I stay on under seven 183 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 1: thousand dollars, you know, so you can always reach out 184 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: to whoever you know the person is that's running your account. 185 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 2: Okay, okay, so that's question number one. 186 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: You know, we're actually gonna take a quick break, come back, 187 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:58,559 Speaker 1: and then we go answer to us of your question. 188 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 2: Girl. The whole episode is you bring girl because you're 189 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 2: special like that and we're black and brown and back. 190 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,599 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Brianna, So wink wing you said, I 191 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: hope we're not pushing You're not pushing it because a 192 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,599 Speaker 1: closed mouth don't get what fed. So you asked me, 193 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: what are some other things you can be doing now 194 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: to invest in your child's future? Right, so you said 195 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,719 Speaker 1: you don't have anything in place like a five to 196 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: twenty nine plan, So certainly a five to twenty nine 197 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,439 Speaker 1: plan is an option. It is also there's tax advantages 198 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: for putting money in a five to twenty nine plan. 199 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 2: Now the thing is five twenty nine plans. 200 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: They've broadened the scope of how you can use them, 201 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: but you really are setting aside for education now your 202 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: child is six, really young. I don't know what college 203 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: is gonna look like. The good thing with a five 204 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: twenty nine you don't just have to use for college. 205 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: You could even use it for like I think I've 206 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: even seen like you can use it for like daycare 207 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: or like private school or school while they're like pre college. 208 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: But I'll see say that a five twenty nine plan 209 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: traditionally is to set aside for college. And if it's 210 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: not using it for an educational capacity, then it doesn't 211 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 1: make sense to have a five to twenty nine plan. 212 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: I struggle when I have my two nieces, Lily and 213 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: Mimi and Roman. So Roman is eight, Mimi is seven, 214 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 1: Lily is six, right, and so I was. When I 215 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: was trying to decide what to do for them as 216 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: they're rich on wanting. I thought about maybe a five 217 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: to twenty nine plan. But I said, just like your baby, 218 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: they're a little young. I don't know what colle's going 219 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:34,959 Speaker 1: to be because job, the girls ain't going to school 220 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 1: like they used to. Like my step baby Melissa, she 221 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,719 Speaker 1: just got into school. She's seventeen. She wants to go 222 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: to school. She's going to college. Great, you know, but 223 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: you know in ten fifteen years, I don't know. I 224 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,199 Speaker 1: don't know what the landscape is going to be. So 225 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: I felt nervous about lucking my money in a five 226 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,599 Speaker 1: twenty nine plan, even though the scope is wider of 227 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 1: how you can use it. So I'm not saying you shouldn't. 228 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: I'm saying that just these are things to consider. So 229 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: when I chose instead to create a custodial account for 230 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: my babies, So what is a custodial account? Let me 231 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,719 Speaker 1: see what I'm just gonna I'm gonna custodio because I 232 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: want to custodial account. Okay, So I want to read 233 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:17,959 Speaker 1: it to you so that way you know, a custodial 234 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: account is a financial account set up for the benefit 235 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: of a beneficiary, so for me it was the kids 236 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 1: such as a minor child and managed by an adult. 237 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: I am the adult, also known as a custodian or 238 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:33,079 Speaker 1: legal guardian. The custodian has a fiduciary responsibility, meaning like 239 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: I got to do what spite by them and must 240 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 1: use defends and the best interest until they reach the majority. 241 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: So I set up a custodian investment account, which basically 242 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: it's not tax advantage, so that's the downfall, but it 243 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: allows that money to be used in any sort of way, 244 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 1: so it's invested like I'm because they're so young. That'side 245 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,560 Speaker 1: with Angelie, my certified financial planner my CFP, and ninety 246 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 1: percent of the money I put in that custodial account 247 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: for those kids, for each of them individually, is invested 248 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 1: in stocks because they're so young, if not one hundred, 249 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: because they have even though the market goes up, down, updown, 250 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,839 Speaker 1: they have a lot of time to recover, and they 251 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: have been the return as a result I've had it. 252 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 2: From maybe I don't think. 253 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: I think since Roman's been like two so like the 254 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: last six years, and as a new kid comes, I 255 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 1: just I open a new account that you know, they 256 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: have plenty of time for that account to make the money. 257 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 2: It's making good money. 258 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: And so just recently I decided because after my husband 259 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: passed away, suddenly, I said, I want to be mindful 260 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: of how they inherit this money for me if I'm 261 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: not here to see them through. So what I've done 262 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,079 Speaker 1: now is I I'm trying to think, did we put 263 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: it in the trust? No, I didn't put it in 264 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: their custodial account in the trust because I didn't their 265 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: their beneficial there's more than one beneficiary to the trust. 266 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: But instead I forget how I did it. That got 267 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: it my attorney. So I've signed over. It might be 268 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: in the truck, but it's sign assigned to each child. 269 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,559 Speaker 1: Each account is as signed to each child. And I 270 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,079 Speaker 1: believe I put it inside my trust. But also inside 271 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: my trust, I have instructions that say if I'm not here, 272 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 1: and you know this money is growing because I know 273 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: how kids are and I wish they would have done 274 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: this for Alyssa because she's getting a good amount of 275 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: money when she turns eighteen, and I think it's too 276 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 1: young to get all your money. 277 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 2: That their first. 278 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: Payout would be if they go to school. If they 279 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: don't go to school, which is fine, then they're going 280 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: to get their first financial payout at age twenty one, 281 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: you know, because maybe they want to buy a house, 282 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: get married, yata, YadA, YadA, and then they would get 283 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: their second financial payout at age twenty five. And then 284 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: they'll get their final financial payout wh they're thirty, because 285 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: I hope by thirty they have some sense, because I 286 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: give you all the money at twenty one, you're gonna 287 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: blow it. Maybe by twenty five you've graduated college, if 288 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,079 Speaker 1: you even go. Even if you're still fools at twenty five, 289 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: we pray by thirty, child, you got some set, honey. 290 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: But my dad said that full at forty is a 291 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 1: fool for life, so were So I just I'm sharing 292 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 1: with you what I've done for them because if I'm 293 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: not here, I want them to. I want to acknowledge 294 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 1: that not everybody uses money wisely in the beginning, and 295 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: then they have three chances to get it right. And 296 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 1: so I added it to my trust because a will 297 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: basically tells your people what to do with your assets 298 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: for about six months after you pass away. A trust 299 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: allows you to tell your people what to do with 300 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: the assets for years and years and years and years 301 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: into the future. And so yes, I believe I added 302 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: it to the trust. So yeah, just something to think 303 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: about that, Like there's a custodia account. Yes, you can 304 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: also do a five twenty nine plan if you want, 305 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: your parents can contribute, whoever else can contribute to that. 306 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: It's it is tax advantaged. Those are the two places 307 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: that I would I would start. And just because your 308 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: baby so young, be aggressive in how you're how that 309 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: money is being invested, you know, and make sure with 310 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: your wroth Ira and make sure with your fell and 311 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: one K it's actually being invested. Because sometimes people open 312 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: up the wrath, open up four whe and it's basically 313 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: sitting in a glorified sagments account. Because it's not just 314 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: enough to open those accounts. You have to actively tell 315 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 1: it what to do. Often they have something called the 316 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: target date fund, which says, hey, Brianna, what target date 317 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: do you think you're going to retire? 318 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 2: What year? 319 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: They usually are within five year increments, and you pick 320 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: the five year increment that is that's within the target date, 321 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: you know, whatever you think you might want to retire, 322 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: and then the account itself. Will will adjust itself every 323 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: year based upon how close you are to retirement, because 324 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: the closer you are to retirement, the more conservative your 325 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: investments become. 326 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 2: This is why I told you your baby so young. 327 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: You don't have to be conservative with investments when you're 328 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: baby young, you know, But the closer they get to 329 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: college and things, then you become more conservative. 330 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 2: That's a lot of advice, child. 331 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: Hopefully that helped you and bless somebody else.
