Talking points: Smart Money Moves for the Young, Single, and Living at Home 2. This week’s quote is from Teddy Roosevelt on old age. 3. I was talking to some colleagues about personal finance, and one said it is tough to “get the goal posts to stop moving.” What does this mean, and what is your reaction? 4. I saw Yrefy advertised on Fox News. The returns look sick. Should I invest with them? 5. Do clients ever leave you? If so, why? 6. What is a dynamic withdrawal strategy in retirement? 7. Should I give my children their inheritance during my lifetime or leave it to them as a bequest at death? I am torn and not sure what to do. 8. Someone told me that if you speak on a Pesach program, you can write off the entire cost of the program as a business expense. Is that true? 9. If you could sum up one strategy that is a reliable way to get rich, what would it be? 10. I missed out on the latest run in a meme stock. How can I make sure I get in on the next meme stock before it takes off? 11. I cannot understand why so many advisors charge a percentage of assets under management.

Eli will discuss will who is actually a covered owner, how the primary residence exemption works when an apartment sits inside an LLC, a trust, or a stacked structure, why the January 5 taxable status date is unforgiving for buyers and renovations, and what to do when a notice lands.

But I also have $300,000 in student loans. Which should be the bigger priority: making backdoor Roth contributions or paying down my student loans? 5.   What are S&P 500 futures? I hear them mentioned on the news all the time, but I’m not sure what they are. 6.   I just found out that I’m paying Wealthfront 65 basis points to access a CFP. Is that fee worth it? 7.   How can we fix the housing market so my generation can afford to buy homes? 8.   How can I get access to the latest IPOs? I need a big win to make up for years of not saving. 9.   I have a taxable investment account that has performed very well over the past two years, but I need the money for a home addition. I’m hesitant to sell because the investments could continue to rise, and I don’t want to pay taxes. Should I wait longer to liquidate, and how do I get over the mental hurdle of selling investments to fund a major purchase? 10. Every professional investor has had a few “big wins.” Can you share a few of yours? 11. If someone gave you $1,000 with no strings attached, how would you spend it? What about $10,000, $100,000, or $1 million? 12. If you could buy anything to help you become a better investor, what would it be? 13. Timely Planning Idea: Medicare could quietly double your premium.   ***My FIRST book: D is for Diversification: The ABCs of Personal Finance available on Amazon or at www.JonathanOnMoney.com***   Stay connected: 1) Questions?
