Kasemyer college savings

College savings plans; I have mentioned them before. My aunt very, very generously set up "one-year pre-paid tuition" plans for each kid. That was incredibly generous of her. The issue I have had is that 1) the fund managers make it absolutely as hard as possible to actually get the funds back out and b) since I'm not the one who set them up, I don't know what the fund promised my aunt when she paid. Oh, also, c) they did not show ANYWHERE on the website an accumulated value for the funds. Which is hinky as hell.

My son's was fully paid out in January, so I don't have to worry about that any more. However, I did note that the amount they paid out was only just a little bit more than she actually paid (years ago) in the first place. So - what was the fund doing with that money for those years? That it did not increase? That really is supposed to be the point; you invest it and it increases.

Aaaaanyhow. In the summer I stepped through the process of getting the first payment for my daughter's college. That they refused to pay it out until August when her bill was due to be paid by the end of July cause me some Money-shuffling-issues. Eventually they sent half (I presumed?) of the money. The remaining half to be paid for her spring semester.

Late in the summer I got a series of several emails from the fund. All of them were corporate/finance gibberish, involving terms like audit and transparency and 'changes moving forward.' It sounded VERY MUCH to me like someone had been caught doing something. And was promising crisscross applesauce not to do it again, but not saying what "it" was.

Yesterday I got the check in the mail for the second half of my daughter's savings fund. I promptly had to sit down. It was higher - several thousand dollars higher! - than the first 'half'. So, oopsies! it seemed those funds actually WERE having earnings.

I am elated that there is more funding for her than I thought there was. But, damn. I have questions.

From the moment our little ones are born, we dream big for them. College may seem far away, but the journey to securing their future starts today. 🌟✨

When my first child was born, I remember holding her tiny hand and promising to give her the world. As she grew, so did my understanding of what it takes to make that promise a reality. College savings felt overwhelming, but I knew starting early was key.

We explored different options, from 529 plans with their tax advantages to Coverdell ESAs that even covered K-12 expenses. Each plan had its own benefits, but they all shared one common goal: giving our children the best possible start in life.

Now, as I watch her prepare for college, I feel a sense of accomplishment. Every dollar saved, every automated contribution, every wise investment choice – they’ve all brought us to this moment. It wasn’t always easy, but knowing she has the financial support she needs for her education makes it all worthwhile.

To all the parents out there, remember: it’s never too early to start saving. Every little bit counts, and the sooner you begin, the more your savings will grow. Let’s give our children the future they deserve. 🌍💖

529 College Savings Plans

A 529 college savings plan is a tax-advantaged investment account designed to help families save for future education expenses, such as tuition, fees, books, supplies, and room and board. Here are some key points to know about 529 college savings plans: Tax advantages: Contributions to a 529 plan grow tax-deferred, which means you don’t have to pay federal taxes on the earnings as long as the…

""Moreover, it turns out that the United States is not all that tightfisted when it comes to social spending. “If you count all public benefits offered by the federal government, America’s welfare state (as a share of its gross domestic product) is the second biggest in the world, after France’s,” Desmond tells us. Why doesn’t this largesse accomplish more?

For one thing, it unduly assists the affluent. That statistic about the U.S. spending almost as much as France on social welfare, he explains, is accurate only “if you include things like government-subsidized retirement benefits provided by employers, student loans and 529 college savings plans, child tax credits, and homeowner subsidies: benefits disproportionately flowing to Americans well above the poverty line.” To enjoy most of these, you need to have a well-paying job, a home that you own, and probably an accountant (and, if you’re really in clover, a money manager).

“The American government gives the most help to those who need it least,” Desmond argues. “This is the true nature of our welfare state, and it has far-reaching implications, not only for our bank accounts and poverty levels, but also for our psychology and civic spirit.” Americans who benefit from social spending in the form of, say, a mortgage-interest tax deduction don’t see themselves as recipients of governmental generosity. The boon it offers them may be as hard for them to recognize and acknowledge as the persistence of poverty once was to Harrington’s suburban housewives and professional men. These Americans may be anti-government and vote that way. They may picture other people, poor people, as weak and dependent and themselves as hardworking and upstanding. Desmond allows that one reason for this is that tax breaks don’t feel the same as direct payments. Although they may amount to the same thing for household incomes and for the federal budget—“You can benefit a family by lowering its tax burden or by increasing its benefits, same difference”—they are associated with an obligation and a procedure that Americans, in particular, find onerous. Tax-cutting Republican lawmakers want the process to be both difficult and Swiss-cheesed with loopholes. (“Taxes should hurt,” Ronald Reagan once said.) But that’s not the only reason. What Desmond calls the “rudest explanation” is that if, for whatever reason, we get a tax break, most of us like it. That’s the case for people affluent and lucky enough to take advantage of the legitimate breaks designed for their benefit, and for the wily super-rich who game the system with expensive lawyering and ingenious use of tax shelters.

And there are other ways, Desmond points out, that government help gets thwarted or misdirected. When President Clinton instituted welfare reform, in 1996, pledging to “transform a broken system that traps too many people in a cycle of dependence,” an older model, Aid to Families with Dependent Children, or A.F.D.C., was replaced by Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, or TANF. Where most funds administered by A.F.D.C. went straight to families in the form of cash aid, TANF gave grants to states with the added directive to promote two-parent families and discourage out-of-wedlock childbirth, and let the states fund programs to achieve those goals as they saw fit. As a result, “states have come up with rather creative ways to spend TANF dollars,” Desmond writes. “Nationwide, for every dollar budgeted for TANF in 2020, poor families directly received just 22 cents. Only Kentucky and the District of Columbia spent over half of their TANF funds on basic cash assistance.” Between 1999 and 2016, Oklahoma directed more than seventy million dollars toward initiatives to promote marriage, offering couples counselling and workshops that were mostly open to people of all income levels. Arizona used some of the funds to pay for abstinence education; Pennsylvania gave some of its TANF money to anti-abortion programs. Mississippi treated its TANF funds as an unexpected Christmas present, hiring a Christian-rock singer to perform at concerts, for instance, and a former professional wrestler—the author of an autobiography titled “Every Man Has His Price”—to deliver inspirational speeches. (Much of this was revealed by assiduous investigative reporters, and by a 2020 audit of Mississippi’s Department of Human Services.) Moreover, because states don’t have to spend all their TANF funds each year, many carry over big sums. In 2020, Tennessee, which has one of the highest child-poverty rates in the nation, left seven hundred and ninety million dollars in TANF funds unspent."

Investing 101

Part 4 of ?

What to Buy

I've been procrastinating this post because I have a broker who provides buying/selling recommendations to me as I'm not an expert. Having said that, I can provide some information.

The first decision to make is whether to buy stocks or bonds. I explained the difference between the two in previous posts but I should add a caveat. Normally bonds are considered a safe but lower return investment to balance your portfolio and reduce risk. The moves by the Fed to control inflation however have raised interest rates on bonds to levels not seen in >40 years. For the first time in a long time, very safe bonds (ex. US Treasuries) are yielding more than equities and you can lock in those rates for a long time. Normally I'd advise a young person to avoid any bonds, but this is a strange time and some bonds would be a good investment for almost anyone. As with stocks, you can buy individual bonds or a bond fund.

What is a fund? Let's imagine that you want to own a basket of tech stocks (or bank stocks or consumer goods stocks, etc.). You could research various companies and make your purchases or you could buy a mutual fund. Mutual funds are actively managed investment pools with specific investment philosophies (ex. focused on tech stocks) - you purchase shares in the fund and the fund manager uses your money (and the $$ of other fund investors) to buy/sell shares in accordance with the philosophy/purpose of the fund. Actively managed means that there is a management team doing investment research and then buying and selling shares. Of course the management team costs money and they deduct their fee from the earnings pool prior to distributing the fund's earnings back to the owner/investors of the fund. Fund managers argue that their active management improves your earnings while lowering your risk. Detractors argue that management fees are too expensive and over the long run, investors can do better on their own (more on that later). Management fees aren't regulated (that I'm aware of) so investors have to be cautious - some funds have very expensive management fees while others are more frugal. Morningstar is a great resource for researching investments of all types, including funds.

An alternative to a Mutual Fund is an Index or Exchange Traded Fund. These funds are designed to mirror the composition and performance of an entire stock exchange (ex. NASDAQ). So if the NASDAQ goes up 10pts today, the related Index or Exchange traded fund will also go up 10pts. This is a low cost way to invest in the performance of the overall market. Many advisors recommend these investments for superior long term growth. These funds aren't actively managed by a human, but their low cost makes them a winner.

Speaking of humans, AI managed funds are increasingly a hot topic. I may own some of these funds and not even know it, but I'm not seeking AI management. In fact, automated trading can be problematic and cause 'flash crashes' for the market when every AI algorithm tries to sell at the time.

Target Date funds are another kind of mutual fund which is increasingly popular in 401Ks and 529 college savings plans. A target date fund is designed to manage risk and volatility with a specific life goal in mind. For example, you might establish a goal retirement date of 2040 and buy a Target Date fund for that year. The 2040 fund will automatically invest in higher risk/higher return equities in the first 20 years and gradually shift more of the portfolio to lower risk investments (like bonds) as your target date approaches.

Money market funds are a very low risk way to earn better returns on your emergency fund cash than allowing it to wallow in a bank savings account. A money market is a kind of mutual fund, but it owns very safe investments - the odds are very small that you'd lose money and instead you'll have a very liquid, safe investment that you can use in case of emergency.

What about individual stocks? Some investors follow the simple strategy of buying the stocks of companies whose products they know and admire. Ex, "I like my iPhone so I'm going to buy Apple stock." In >30 years of investing I have never purchased an individual stock. My rationale is that there is an entire industry of very smart people who do nothing but research and invest. The odds that I can outsmart them and pick a company which everyone else has undervalued are small. If I've read about it in the Wall Street Journal, so has everyone else and the opportunity to buy something cheap is long gone. In my opinion, buying individual stocks is like going to Vegas - of course you will hear stories of big winners, but in general the house (full time investment professionals) always wins. For a non-professional like me, the odds of selecting individual stocks and assembling a winning portfolio over the long term aren't in my favor.

The Importance of Personalized Financial Planning for Achieving Life Goals

Personal financial planning is an essential tool for anyone seeking to achieve their life goals. From buying a home to saving for retirement, financial planning offers a structured approach to managing income, expenses, savings, and investments. However, a one-size-fits-all approach often falls short when addressing individual needs and circumstances. This is where personalized financial planning becomes invaluable. By tailoring financial strategies to unique goals, risk tolerance, and financial situations, personalized planning ensures that individuals are better prepared to achieve their aspirations.

What Is Personalized Financial Planning?

Personalized financial planning is the process of creating a tailored roadmap to meet an individual’s specific financial goals. Unlike generic plans, which often rely on broad assumptions, personalized planning takes into account factors like income, lifestyle, family responsibilities, risk appetite, and future aspirations.

A personalized plan is not static; it evolves over time, adapting to changes in circumstances such as career advancements, family growth, or economic fluctuations. This adaptability ensures the plan remains relevant and effective in helping individuals reach their milestones.

The Importance of Personalized Financial Planning

1. Aligning Financial Strategies with Life Goals

Everyone’s financial goals are different. While one person may prioritize buying a home, another might focus on building a college fund for their children or retiring early. Personalized financial planning ensures that strategies are aligned with these specific priorities.

Example: A young professional saving for a down payment on a house will have a vastly different investment approach than someone nearing retirement. A tailored plan accounts for these differences, allocating resources effectively.

2. Managing Risk According to Individual Tolerance

Risk tolerance varies from person to person. While some individuals are comfortable with high-risk, high-reward investments, others may prefer low-risk options that offer stable returns. A personalized financial plan evaluates risk tolerance and tailors investment strategies accordingly.

Example: An aggressive investor in their 30s may focus on equity-heavy portfolios, while a risk-averse retiree might prioritize fixed-income securities and bonds.

3. Ensuring Better Resource Allocation

Personalized financial planning helps allocate resources in a manner that aligns with an individual’s goals and timelines. It ensures that savings, investments, and expenses are balanced to maximize financial health.

Example: For someone planning to send their child to college in 10 years, a personalized plan would include targeted investments in education savings plans like a 529 plan or similar options.

4. Adapting to Life’s Uncertainties

Life is unpredictable, and unexpected events can disrupt financial stability. A personalized financial plan includes contingency strategies to address emergencies such as medical expenses, job loss, or market downturns.

Example: Building an emergency fund, diversifying investments, and purchasing insurance are key components of a robust financial plan that safeguards against uncertainties.

5. Improving Financial Discipline

Personalized financial planning fosters better financial discipline by providing a clear roadmap. It encourages individuals to stick to budgets, avoid unnecessary debt, and prioritize savings.

Example: A personalized plan might allocate specific amounts for discretionary spending, ensuring that essential savings goals, such as retirement or debt repayment, remain on track.

Key Steps in Personalized Financial Planning

Assess Financial Situation: Start by evaluating income, expenses, assets, and liabilities.

Define Goals: Identify short-term, medium-term, and long-term financial objectives.

Analyze Risk Tolerance: Understand individual comfort levels with risk to shape investment decisions.

Create a Plan: Develop a comprehensive plan that balances savings, investments, and expenses.

Monitor and Adjust: Regularly review the plan to adapt to life changes and economic conditions.

Benefits of Personalized Financial Planning

Clarity: Provides a clear path to achieve financial goals.

Control: Helps manage finances effectively, avoiding impulsive decisions.

Peace of Mind: Reduces stress by preparing for uncertainties and ensuring financial security.

Wealth Growth: Maximizes the potential for building wealth through targeted strategies.

Conclusion

Personalized financial planning is a powerful tool that empowers individuals to achieve their unique life goals. By aligning strategies with personal circumstances, managing risks effectively, and adapting to changing situations, it provides the clarity and confidence needed for long-term financial success. Whether you’re saving for a major purchase, planning for retirement, or preparing for life’s uncertainties, a tailored financial plan ensures that you stay on track. Investing time and effort into creating a personalized financial plan is not just a smart financial move—it’s a vital step toward realizing your dreams.

529 plan

   I am once again trying to arm-wrestle the drat-blasted website for my kids’ college savings plans* into paying out a distribution. This particular savings plan does NOT want to actually pay back the money that was saved up. Which is - insane? That is the singular and only purpose of this account. Pay college expenses. The first time I tried to get a distribution for my son I ended up on hold for an hour before I got hold of an angry call center employee. Not sure how long this issue will take - but I’m not feeling happy.

* This is a usa thing, a savings plan that gives a slight tax advantage for putting money away for college early.

Exploring Tax Reduction Packages: A Strategic Guide to Saving Money on Taxes

Every year, individuals and businesses alike search for effective ways to reduce their tax burden. Tax reduction packages, often crafted by financial advisors or offered as part of government initiatives, provide an excellent strategy to optimize your financial planning and minimize your tax liabilities. In this blog, we’ll explore what tax reduction packages are, the components that make them effective, and how you can leverage them to maximize your tax savings.

What Are Tax Reduction Packages?

A tax reduction package is essentially a tailored plan that focuses on legitimate strategies for lowering taxable income, maximizing deductions, and taking advantage of tax credits. These packages are usually offered by professional financial advisory firms or accountants who assess your financial profile, income sources, expenses, and other factors to create a tax-efficient strategy.

These packages can be beneficial to both individuals and businesses, as they can highlight deductions and credits that might otherwise be overlooked. By reducing taxable income, you not only lower the taxes you owe but can also qualify for lower tax brackets or other benefits that further reduce your financial obligations.

Key Components of a Tax Reduction Package

A well-structured tax reduction package typically includes several key strategies, each designed to address specific areas of potential tax savings. Here are a few common components:

Income Shifting and Splitting Income shifting involves distributing income across family members or entities, which can be a powerful tool for those in higher tax brackets. For example, if you can legally allocate some income to a family member in a lower tax bracket, you’ll save on taxes collectively. Income splitting is similar and may include tactics like setting up a family trust or partnership.

Maximizing Deductions and Credits Tax deductions reduce your taxable income, while tax credits reduce the actual tax you owe. A tax reduction package will help identify deductions you may qualify for, such as mortgage interest, charitable donations, medical expenses, and education expenses. Credits, like the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or Child Tax Credit, can also reduce your taxes significantly.

Retirement Contributions and Savings Plans Contributions to retirement accounts like a 401(k) or IRA are among the most effective tax-saving methods. These accounts offer tax-deferred or tax-free growth, depending on the type, and allow you to reduce your taxable income for the year. Tax reduction packages will often include guidance on maximizing contributions and choosing the best account types for your situation.

Investing in Tax-Advantaged Accounts Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), 529 college savings plans, and other tax-advantaged accounts allow for tax-free growth and can be particularly beneficial for families or those with medical needs. Contributions to these accounts can also reduce your taxable income.

Expense Optimization for Businesses For business owners, tax reduction packages may include recommendations on categorizing expenses properly, taking full advantage of business deductions, and strategically timing large expenses. Small businesses may also be eligible for unique credits or deductions that can significantly reduce their tax burden.

How to Use a Tax Reduction Package Effectively

While tax reduction packages offer a wealth of benefits, maximizing these packages requires understanding and commitment. Working closely with a knowledgeable tax advisor is essential to create and implement a plan tailored to your unique circumstances. They can help ensure that you comply with tax laws while fully benefiting from the strategies available.

Additionally, tax laws change frequently, and it’s crucial to stay updated on new legislation that might affect your tax obligations or introduce new opportunities. Many financial advisory firms offer ongoing support as part of their tax reduction packages, which can help you adjust your plan as needed.

Conclusion

Tax reduction packages offer a valuable way to strategically reduce your tax burden, freeing up more of your income for saving, investing, or business reinvestment. By focusing on income shifting, maximizing deductions and credits, optimizing retirement contributions, and other proven methods, these packages provide a comprehensive approach to effective tax planning. If you're interested in lowering your taxes legally and efficiently, consider consulting with a tax advisor about how a tax reduction package could benefit you.
