  • "House-Rich, Cash-Poor" Epidemic
    2024/09/17

    Today, we're breaking down the "House-Rich, Cash-Poor" epidemic. In the United States, a large number of retirees have most of their wealth tied up in their primary residence, with very little left in liquid savings like 401(k)s, Roth IRAs, or brokerage accounts. A big part of the issue comes from financial gurus, like Dave Ramsey, preaching that paying off your home early is the key to optimizing wealth.

    If you own a home, have a mortgage, and are looking for ways to truly optimize and build your wealth, you won't want to miss today's episode.


    Key Topics:

    • Introducing the Concept: the “House-Rich, Cash-Poor” Epidemic (00:00)
    • Why is This Happening? Are Financial “Gurus” like Dave Ramsey and His 7 Baby Steps to Blame? (02:26)

    • But What if I Already Paid off My Home?! (08:39)

  • How to Build Tax-Free Wealth for Your Kids (Without a Roth or 529)
    2024/09/10

    I want you to take a moment to think about how you can generate tax-free wealth for your kids. For most people, two primary vehicles come to mind: the first is a Roth IRA, and the second is a 529 account.

    But here’s the issue—most kids don’t have earned income, so they can’t contribute to a Roth IRA, which takes that option off the table.The second option, a 529 account, can only be used for qualified education expenses. If the funds are used for anything else, the earnings will be subject to ordinary income taxes and a 10% penalty.

    As a financial planner who works closely with families of young children looking to build wealth, I’ve found that most parents want to generate tax-efficient wealth for their kids, but they don’t want to feel limited to education-related expenses.

    Today, I’m going to break down how you can achieve this using a custodial brokerage account. Trust me—you don’t want to miss it!


    Key Topics:

    • Generating Tax-Free Wealth For Your Kids (00:00)
    • Why People Often Ignore UTMA / UGMA Accounts and Understanding Kiddie Tax (01:50)
    • Turning a Custodial Brokerage Account into a Tax-Free Vehicle (03:30)
    • Customizing this Strategy for Your Own Financial Plan (05:03)
    • Money in a Custodial Brokerage Account is Considered an Irrevocable Gift (07:07)
