Why consider a 529 savings plan? ○ Tax advantagesAlthough contributions are not deductible, earnings in a 529 plan grow federal tax-free Qualified withdrawals are free of federal taxes (and 34 states currently offer full or partial tax benefits, too.)You can open a 529 no matter how much you make or the age of the beneficiary, which makes them particularly attractive vehicles for grandparents who want to lower the value of their taxable estates. 529 plan assets are exempt from federal estate tax. If a 529 plan account owner dies, the account will continue under a new successor owner.○ The Private 529 Plan – “Cousin to 529 plans” The Private 529 Plan – called CollegeWell — works differently from traditional 529 plansThe Private 529/CollegeWell locks in today's tuition and protects against rising tuitionPrivate 529 can help families whose kids are heading for private colleges save thousands of dollars in inflationary costs, and removes market risk from the decision○ Traditional 529s offer investment flexibilityDiverse options are available, depending on the plan○ Full parental controlParents (or grandparents), as the account owner, control how the funds are invested and distributed over the life of the account.Beneficiaries have no legal rights to the funds in a 529 account (differs from UGMA/UTMA) There are no income limits to setting up a 529 plan.○ Simplified tax reportingYou don't have to report 529 contributions on your federal returnThe year you start taking withdrawals, the beneficiary will receive Form 1099 to report investment earnings○ SECURE 2.0 Act of 2022 added more flexibility to 529 plansNeed more info on college affordability?

Stage 12: The ReturnThe climax of your hero's journey encompasses The Resurrection stage. And once they accomplish that, you can have your protagonist Return to their Ordinary World.Here are three reasons why your hero should make that return.To Have the Story Come Full CircleThe reader and audience are on this ride with your protagonist. They empathize with them. The story creates a cathartic reaction. We want to see the story resolved. We want to witness some closure so that we know the character's journey has ended.So what better way to accomplish that than letting them go back to their Ordinary World to either flaunt their success or show people that they've changed for the better?At the beginning of Burning, Paul was primary caregiver to their child, Kaitrin. In the Return Stage Paul is reunited to Kaitrin and she is made whole by returning to the loving arms of her father but only after Paul faced, and overcame, the Ordeal Stage.2. To Complete the Character ArcWhen we follow a character for a long period of time, we want to see their character grow, change, or better themselves. It offers the reader and audience a sense of closure and catharsis.When we put the protagonist back into their Ordinary World, it makes the reader and audience wonder how they'll react.Have they changed?Will they fall into the same pattern that they were in when they were introduced within their Ordinary World?Paul is wiser to the ways of the world after The Ordeal. The last line of the story concludes with how Paul is ready to parent Kaitrin in single parenting freedom. He is no longer subject to the restrictions of the Court, deceased wife, Serena the neighbor, or legal system. Paul is free.3. To Allow the Reader and Audience to Live VicariouslyBecause catharsis is so vital to the cinematic experience — that's why people go to the movies — having the hero return to their Ordinary World triumphant offers the reader and audience a chance to feel the glory of that return. And if it's not glory, it's a sense of calm, knowing that everything is going to be okay for the character they've lived vicariously through.The last song closing out the novel summarizes the journey Paul has been on. The Ian Hunter song intones we've been living in purgatory and anything's better than this. Paul and Kaitrin united home are going to be fine. The Ordeal has been overcome, there is a tragic death but Paul will return Kaitrin to her Ordinary world of stability and love. All is calm.Burning America: In the Best Interest of the Children?https://www.amazon.com/Burning-America-Best-Interest-Children/dp/1956353259/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=Mick, The Doctor of Digital, Smith mick.smith@wsiworld.comBurning America: In the Best Interest of the Children?https://burning-america.comAmazon: https://www.amazon.com/G-Mick-Smith/e/B0B59X5R79Also at Barnes & Noble, Walmart, and TargetLeave a message for The Doctor of Digital:https://podinbox.com/thedoctorofdigitalpodcastInstagram: burningamericacommunityPatreon burningamericacommunity:https://www.patreon.com/SmithConsultingWSITheDoctorofDigitalPodcastListen, subscribe, share, and positively review The Aftermath:https://www.podpage.com/the-aftermath-the-epidemic-of-divorce-custody-and-healing-1/he-saidshe-said-the-one-about-getting-involved-in-parental-alienation-legislation/Substack:https://micksmith.substack.com/Commercials Voice Talent || Narratives Voice TalentDo you want a free competitive analysis for your business?

Introducing Chris Hammer, thriller author of Outback Noir Author Chris Hammer- creating a new wave of crime fiction - Outback Noir Jenny Wheeler: But now here's Chris. Hello there, Chris, and welcome to the show. It's great to have you with us. Chris Hammer: Hi there, Jenny. Thank you so much for having me on. Jenny Wheeler: Getting the geographic location set at the beginning – you're talking from the Australian capital of Canberra, aren't you? Chris Hammer: That's right. Jenny Wheeler: Are you a Canberra born man? Chris Hammer: No, I was born in Tassie actually – Tasmania – but I've lived most of my life in Canberra. I grew up here. I tried to escape several times, but I kept getting sucked back. Being a journalist, it's a good place to be, in the Capital. I did a lot of politics as a journalist, but also my wife is an academic. She specializes in International History and History of the Asia Pacific and for her the Australian National University – the ANU – is based in Canberra. So it's perfect for both of us. Jenny Wheeler: You had a stellar journalism career and looking at your life from the outside, it looks like you replaced a stellar career in journalism with an equally stellar one in books. Right from the beginning, your first book, Scrublands, was an award winner and an international bestseller. Tell us how you managed to make that transition. Chris Hammer: You make it sound so easy and inevitable, but it wasn't. Indeed, Scrublands isn't my first book. Many writers, of course, have the one or two in the desk drawer that will never see the light of day, but I did write two nonfiction books. I quit full-time journalism for a while and went freelance.

That phrase [Privatized Banking] was actually Carlos, his idea.” [8:23] “If you're doing IBC, you're not contributing to the problem, because the Austrian view is commercial banking that expands and contracts the credit supply. So if you're...financing your purchases via policy loans, then you're not contributing to the boom/bust cycle in the Austrian view.”  [8:58] “...Carlos and I were going around, giving presentations to the public and life insurance agents would hire us often to come do that, you know, presumably knowing that they were going to be able to sell more if we came and talked to a crowd about...the big picture here... And so over time we just realized this isn't going to work. We need a more formal way of both, you know, training agents to make sure they know what Nelson's principles are and how to design these policies correctly, but also so we feel comfortable… [putting] the public into the hands of certain life insurance professionals… So that was the birth of the IBC practitioners program.” You can find out more about Nelson Nash here: Nelson Nash: The Father of Infinite Banking (IBC) The Case for IBC [13:30] “... often this concept clicks with [business owners] sooner than with other people, is [because of] the importance of cash flow. So for like a salaried employee, you know, they kind of know every month how much money is coming in the door, and then they have their bills. And they've just got to make sure… [they] spend less each month than what's coming in.” [15:20] "I came across a pretty sophisticated critique of IBC a while ago, from another economist, and he said, 'You know, this concept actually makes sense. What they're really doing here is using an asset as collateral to then borrow money from some other institution to finance their cash flow. And they happen to be using life insurance or using...the cash surrender value, and a dividend paying whole life insurance is the collateral... When in principle you could take your house, as long as you have a bunch of equity, and go to a commercial bank and take out either a home equity loan or a HELOC.'" "And so... the concept the economist was arguing was, 'It has nothing to do with life insurance, and the only reason they're doing it with life insurance is to get the commission.'" "So I go through and explain why, actually, that's a perfect illustration of why Nelson was right to pick this vehicle or platform of a dividend paying whole life policy." Other Common Objections of IBC [19:54] “So another common one is… 'Oh everyone knows a whole life policy is a terrible place to put your money, you should buy term and invest the difference.'” [20:47] “The way we put it is that the whole life insurance policies are the platform upon which IBC is implemented...

We jump into 454 BCE where we start to see the consequences of the events of the previous year play out. It's hard to get away from our "Roman Achilles" who, in his position as plebeian tribune, levels a charge of "injuring the state" against the former consul Romilius. This sets up a cascade of interesting incidents. Episode 107 - Let the Codification Begin There's little agreement between our major written sources for this year. Livy and Dionysius of Halicarnassus diverge in much of the details even though they hit upon some shared touchstones. But this is partly about what we don't know... Dr Rad explores some of the complexities of who is who during this period. While our sources use categories like 'patrician' and 'plebeian', these terms offer a binary model for thinking about the structure of Roman society. Often this is a simplification of what was really happening. By the time we get to the first century BCE when these histories were written, the composition of these groups is more clear cut than they were in the fifth century. Speeches as didactic tools Dr G delves into Dionysius of Halicarnassus' use of speeches as a means of teasing out a Roman perspective. Speeches are a significant feature in his writing and sets his work apart from Livy during this period. Dionysius' penchant for rhetoric offers a means of appreciating how the Romans thought. They also offer a framework for Greek readers to appreciate the reasoning of the Romans. Listen in for...

Are you are a passive investor, or maybe thinking of diversifying your real estate portfolio? Home equity investing is a profitable, creative investment that can gain you massive profits. Last year almost a billion dollars was invested into the equity of single-family homes through home equity agreements. This enables homeowners to get a cash lump sum, without accruing more debt and allows the investor to share in the home's increased value. To detail exactly how investors can make money with home equity investing, I've brought on Matthew Sullivan, the founder, CEO, and Quantm Real Estate Director. Matthew spent several years working alongside Richard Branson and his corporate finance team and was involved in several high profile Virgin projects. He went on to create Crowdventure, LLC, a real estate crowdfunding company, and today he is working with homeowners to unlock the equity in their homes.Today's episode covers how investors can make massive passive income utilizing this creative approach, as well as the legalities, how to work with homeowners, and a sample deal of exactly what an investor can expect on a deal. How Matthew started in home equity investingUnderstanding home equity investing as a homeowner and investorExplanation of the different layers of titles that the jobs act enacted and working with the SECBreaking down the financialsSample home equity deal and what an investor can expectThe benefits to investors when utilizing home equity investing Explaining the downsides Understanding the equity returnThe biggest challengesCapital sources have a longer-term investment horizonThe sharing ratio explainedHow COVID19 has changed real estate investing The parameters that the homeowner needs to meet to be able to participate in home equity agreementsHomeowners are motivated, as it's not a reverse mortgage and does not eat into their existing equityCreating a financial mechanism that matches the investors with the asset, so everyone winsGet in Touch with Matthew:https://quantmre.com/Free e-Book: Equity Freedom

A buyers’ agent is a real estate professional that will help you identify and negotiate the purchase of a property according to your specifications. They typically work for property investors but can also be engaged to purchase owner-occupier homes. This blog discussed whether you should use a buyers’ agent and if they are worth the money?Don’t forget, I’m independent!I have no vested interest in whether my clients engage a buyers’ agent or not. I am completely independent.The advantage I have is that over the past 18 years since starting ProSolution, I have seen the performance of many property purchases resulting from advice provided by many different buyers’ agents. Also, like in many industries, the buyers’ agent industry is small. You quickly learn what types of properties different agents are buying, and what the outcomes have been. In short, I have the perspective of being an “independent umpire” for over nearly the past two decades.These are my musings – hopefully they help you and give you some insight.Mostly used by investorMost buyers’ agents aim their services at investors. There are a few buyers’ agents that will work for home buyers. However, buying a home can be a more difficult brief because there are many considerations to take into account as it tends to be a more of an emotional purchase. For the sake of this blog, I’ll focus on investors only.It’s what you don’t know (or can’t see) that could hurt youSelecting an investment-grade property can appear deceptively easy. You would be excused for thinking that all you need is a checklist of items/characteristics to run each property through. However, as I have written about previously, identifying a quality investment-grade property is part-art and part-science. A good checklist and some financial analysis should satisfy the ‘science’ bit. However, you typically need years of experience to fulfil the ‘art’ component.I recall discussing a property with a reputable buyers’ agent a few years ago. The property seemed (to me) to tick all the boxes. However, the buyers’ agent didn’t like the property because the street was renowned for car break-ins. As such, tenant turnover was higher than usual. No checklist will ever tell you that. Similarly, buyers’ agents have previously told me that sometimes a particular side of the street just won’t work from an investment perspective. Sometimes there’s no logical reason for an anomaly such as this – it comes down to experience.A professional advisors ‘experience’ should never be underestimated. In fact, as an independent financial advisor, I know it’s the most valuable attribute that I have to share with my clients. Of course, technical knowledge such as tax and super laws are important. But experience, such as knowing what strategies work in what situations, how markets behave, when to act and when to sit tight and so on are invaluable.It is far cheaper to learn from people’s experience than learn from your own (i.e. trial and error).You only have to be a little bit wrong to miss out on a lot of the investment returnThe difference in investment returns between an average property and an investment-grade property can be significant, especially over the long run. That is, making a few compromises on a property’s quality/attributes will likely result in a lower capital growth rate. A lot of property in Australia exhibits a growth rate at, or slightly above the inflation rate. So, a $750,000 property today might be worth $1 million to $1.85 million in 30 years’ time as illustrated in the table below. However, an investment-grade property should be worth in the range of $3 million to $4.3 million. That is a growth gap of circa $2 million to today’s dollars! That’s massive.See table hereEven the difference between a 4% and 5% p.a. growth rate is significant. When it comes to investing in property and selecting the right asset, you should never make any compromises!What value do buyers’ agents provide?A buyers’ agent might advertise certain benefits such as negotiation skills, access to off-market properties, time savings because they do all the leg work and so on. Of course, these are all benefits but not the main reason you would engage their services in my opinion.The main reason to engage a buyers’ agent is to reduce your investment risk. That is, reduce the risk of investing in a less-than-perfect property. Of course, it’s an investment so it can never be risk-free. There are no guarantees. However, a reputable buyers’ agent with 20+ years of experience is less likely to make a mistake.Investing is all about obtaining he highest return for the lower risk. It is evident from the table above that a small difference in growth rate will make a big difference to the amount of equity you have. A relatively small investment in professional advice to reduce your investment risk could prove to be one of your best investment decisions.How to select a good buyers’ agentGet a referral from someone that you trust and that knows what they are talking about e.g. have used the buyers’ agents’ services previously. Of course, there is lots of research you can do including reading Google, client testimonials, looking at professional recognition and qualifications, meeting in person and so on. However, this is weak evidence compared to a referral in my opinion.You are putting a lot of faith and trust in a buyers’ agent and paying them a lot of money. You must choose very wisely. You need someone that truly understand what makes an investment property work – not a salesman!How are their fees structured?In the main, buyers’ agents will charge to you a percentage of the property’s purchase price after a successful acquisition is completed. This percentage typically ranges from 2.2% to 2.75%, depending on the purchase price. Some buyers’ agents charge a fixed fee. Often, they will also charge a small “commitment fee” when you first engage them – so they know you are serious.A lower fee might seem like better value but be careful. The reality is, there aren’t that many investment-grade properties on the market – particularly this market where stock levels are very thin. So, if I’m charging a much lower fee than my competitors, I need to buy more properties, in less time. As such, there is commercial pressure to compromise on asset selection i.e. buy an imperfect property. However, if I’m charging a higher fee, there is less to no commercial pressure to compromise – it can be a lot more selective. I would rather pay a fee of $25,000 to get a 10/10 property, than a fee of $10,000 to get a 7/10 property (quality wise). A notional $15,000 saving in fee might end up costing me millions of dollars in missed capital growth – just something to be mindful of.Are fees tax deductible?No, unfortunately. Buyers’ agent fees are considered a capital cost and as such are added onto the cost base (so it reduces your eventual capital gains tax liability). Of course, you can add acquisition costs into the loan and the interest is tax deductible.How to instruct themWhen you appoint a buyers’ agent you need to brief them about what type of investment property you want? Sometimes people include their own personal preferences in terms of locations, architectural style and so forth. I advise against this. I believe you should only set two parameters:1. Your purchase price budget; and2. That you want to invest in a property that has the most compelling fundamentals that will drive the higher capital growth in the long run. Everything else is secondary.These are the only two factors you need to be concerned with. Fall in love with the property’s capital growth prospects, not its location or appearance. Remember, it’s a pure financial decision.Selecting the right property is fundamental to your successIt is tempting to try and select an investment property yourself so that you can avoid paying a buyers’ agent a fee. However, in many situations, it’s a false economy. An experienced and reputable buyers’ agent will pay for themselves in improved investment returns and/or lower investment risk. Quality professional advice (be it tax, property, financial, etc.) often seems expensive in the short-run but very cheap in the long-run.
