In today’s episode, I want to draw your attention to a topic that holds significant importance for parents – opening savings accounts or custodial investment accounts for your children. The landscape of the financial world has evolved since this episode was first recorded in 2021, but the strategies discussed still hold true.
I’ll address a common question I often receive: Should you opt for a savings account or an investment account for your child, or perhaps have both?
Listen in to hear me guide you through various ideas and strategies to help you make the best choices for your child’s financial future. Whether we’re in a high-interest rate environment or nearing the time when your child will need the funds, it’s essential to put the excess money to work.
