Historically, one major reason has consistently been cited for the growth in housing costs in this country: the rising cost of building homes. But that relationship is changing. In this episode, University of Chicago economist Chad Syverson breaks down 75 years of data to reveal a surprising truth—construction costs and housing prices have become "completely decoupled." From the post-WWII boom to today's record-breaking market, Syverson explains why building materials and labor costs can no longer explain skyrocketing home prices, and what factors are really driving the housing affordability crisis.

Again, becoming mindful, recall a situation where you distinctly felt like you didn't belong. Describe the situation, briefly. And then, what did that experience feel like? What were the cues in the situation itself that signaled to you that you belonged or didn't belong? 3. Have you ever been in a situation where you were not sure, at least at first, whether you belonged or not, and something happened that convinced you one way or the other? What happened? 4. Have you ever reached out to help someone feel they belong? Have you ever held back from reaching out in that way? 00:05:54 - Reflections

Day 3/Part 1 00:00:26 - Overview 00:01:45 - Dharma Talk

The definition of synergy is two things put together, having an effect greater than the sum of the parts. Synergy can play a beneficial role in family finances. A case in point is an ABLE account working together with a special needs trust for a person with disabilities. Matt Syverson joins us today to talk about it.Matt Syverson is Managing Partner & Senior Wealth Advisor for Sound Stewardship in Overland Park, Kansas. He is also a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) and a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA®). What is an ABLE Account?An ABLE account, short for “Achieving a Better Life Experience,” is a tax-advantaged savings account specifically designed for individuals with disabilities. It allows them to save money and work without losing access to crucial government benefits like Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Medicaid, which have strict asset limits of $2,000 for individuals and $3,000 for couples. The key features of an ABLE account include:Eligibility: Available to those who are blind or disabled before age 26 (rising to 46 in 2026).Savings Opportunity: Allows individuals to work and save without exceeding government asset limits.Tax Benefits: Often provides state tax deductions similar to 529 college savings plans.Contribution Limits: The lifetime maximum contribution limit aligns with 529 plans but should stay under $100,000 to avoid affecting SSI or Medicaid.Qualified Expenses: Can be used for day-to-day needs like food and rent, excluding vices like alcohol or gambling.No Impact on Government Benefits: ABLE account balances won't disqualify the individual from receiving SSI or Medicaid.It's important to note that in most states, there is a Medicaid payback provision, which allows the state to recover funds from the ABLE account to cover medical bills after the account holder's passing. However, some states, including Kansas, have removed this clawback provision, making these accounts even more attractive for families.What is a Special Needs Trust?A special needs trust (SNT) is a more established tool designed to protect individuals' eligibility for government benefits while allowing families to manage significant assets. This trust can hold homes, vehicles, real estate, investments, and various accounts like IRAs or Roth IRAs. Key benefits of a special needs trust include:Asset Management: Can hold a wide variety of assets that would otherwise disqualify someone from receiving government benefits.Estate Planning Certainty: Spells out how the assets will be managed and distributed after the individual's passing.No Medicaid Clawback: Unlike ABLE accounts, SNTs are not subject to Medicaid payback provisions, providing greater long-term financial security.Spending Flexibility: Can cover a wide range of expenses not covered by government programs.However, special needs trusts come with a downside. If the trust is used to pay for food or rent, the SSI benefit will be reduced by $334 per month. Additionally, any direct payments to the individual from the trust can affect SSI income, so careful management is required.How Can ABLE Accounts and Special Needs Trusts Work Together?Combining an ABLE account with a special needs trust can offer significant advantages for families. The ABLE account can be used for day-to-day expenses, while the special needs trust can be preserved for larger, long-term financial goals. This separation allows for greater flexibility and financial independence.Day-to-Day Needs: An ABLE account can cover immediate expenses like food and rent without reducing SSI benefits.Long-Term Planning: A special needs trust can hold larger assets and ensure they are passed on to future beneficiaries without impacting government benefit eligibility.Tax Benefits: ABLE accounts enjoy tax-free growth and withdrawals for qualified expenses, while special needs trusts are fully taxable each year. Therefore, it is beneficial to use the ABLE account for specific expenses to maximize tax savings.Why Go Through the Effort?Setting up both an ABLE account and a special needs trust takes planning, but the benefits are well worth it. ABLE accounts are simple and inexpensive to establish, offering tax advantages and flexibility for everyday expenses. Special needs trusts, while more complex and costly, assure that your loved one will retain their benefits and that their assets will be managed according to your wishes.When creating these plans, it's crucial to consult with an attorney and a financial advisor. Coordinating contributions to the ABLE account and the special needs trust is crucial to avoid exceeding limits that could affect eligibility for government benefits.Combining an ABLE account with a special needs trust can provide powerful financial synergy for families caring for a loved one with disabilities. With the right planning, these tools help ensure both short-term financial needs and long-term security, allowing your family member to thrive and achieve their God-given potential.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My wife and I have the opportunity to purchase land and build a home using a VA loan. We currently own 8 acres with a mobile home, and we're trying to decide whether to get a double-wide mobile home or build a metal shop/barn instead.

Matt Syverson is a Certified Financial Planner and Certified Kingdom Advisor in Overland Park, Kansas. He's also a specialist in helping families understand and set up ABLE accounts.  WHAT ARE ABLE ACCOUNTS AND HOW DO THEY COMPARE TO 529 EDUCATION SAVINGS ACCOUNTS?ABLE accounts, akin to 529 education savings accounts in terms of contributions and tax treatments, are designed to assist individuals with disabilities by allowing for the accumulation of resources without affecting their eligibility for government assistance.ABLE accounts, initially referred to as 529A plans, are intended for individuals with disabilities, allowing them to save beyond the typical asset limits set by government assistance programs.These accounts enable the saving of funds for a broad range of needs beyond just educational expenses, providing a more flexible financial support system for people with disabilities. WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR AN ABLE ACCOUNT, AND WHAT ARE THE CONTRIBUTION LIMITS?ABLE accounts are specifically for individuals receiving or eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) due to a disability onset before age 26, with annual contribution limits matching the federal gift tax exclusion amount.Eligibility for ABLE accounts extends to individuals with significant disabilities with an onset before age 26, who are recipients of or qualify for SSI, allowing for a greater financial cushion without risking their SSI benefits.The annual contribution limit to an ABLE account is set at $18,000, aligning with the annual gift tax exclusion, enabling families and the individual to contribute without tax penalties and without affecting the individual's SSI asset limits. HOW DO ABLE ACCOUNTS AFFECT SSI BENEFITS, AND WHAT ARE QUALIFIED DISABILITY EXPENSES?ABLE accounts do not count towards the SSI $2,000 asset limit, and funds can be used for a wide array of disability-related expenses without impacting SSI benefits, offering significant flexibility and financial relief.Contributions to ABLE accounts and the savings therein do not affect an individual's eligibility for SSI as long as the account balance stays below $100,000, thus providing a secure means to save and support disability-related needs without jeopardizing SSI benefits.Qualified disability expenses are broadly defined, covering any costs related to living with a disability, including but not limited to housing, education, healthcare, and personal support services, thereby offering a versatile tool for financial planning and care. HOW ARE ABLE ACCOUNTS MANAGED AND WHAT ARE THE INVESTMENT OPTIONS?ABLE accounts are state-sponsored, similar to 529 plans, with investment options ranging from aggressive to conservative portfolios, as well as offering FDIC-insured options with debit card access for day-to-day expenses.Each state sponsors its own ABLE program, with only a few exceptions; individuals can choose to open an account in any participating state, often guided by the specific features and benefits offered by each state's plan.Investment options within ABLE accounts vary, allowing for tailored investment strategies according to the beneficiary's needs and risk tolerance, including the possibility of a portion being allocated to a checking-like account with FDIC insurance for immediate needs.ABLE National Resource Center:able nrc.org ON TODAY'S PROGRAM, ROB ANSWERS LISTENER QUESTIONS:I have a 401k from a previous employer and a portable pension; I'm wondering if I can roll these over into an existing IRA Roth, or if I need to consolidate them into a new IRA.My daughter is looking to buy a house or land and pay cash, but someone suggested delayed financing to get her cash back and then get a mortgage; I'm trying to understand what that is.We have a family business and are currently with a credit card processing company that does not share our Christian values. We are looking for recommendations on credit card processing companies that might be more aligned with our values. RESOURCES MENTIONED:Inspire InsightChristian Community Credit Union Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.
