Today’s Smart Money Question:
As we move beyond the mid-point of the year, we always take this time to have a check-up with clients to run through a number of items that might need attention before the end of the year. Today we’ll share a few of those things, including budgeting, Roth contributions, and SECURE Act 2.0 changes.
Then we’ll spend some time running through a few different scenarios we’ve helped clients out in recent weeks. The first deals with providing a gift to your child to help with a home down payment, but what do you need to consider if they are buying it with a boyfriend/girlfriend. From there we’ll talk about the idea of keeping a mortgage in retirement because of the tax deduction. Does that strategy really pay off financially over time? And finally, let’s wrap up this episode by highlighting a few of the financial conversations that create tension for couples.
