How to Build Tax-Free Wealth for Your Kids (Without a Roth or 529)

  • Summary

  • I want you to take a moment to think about how you can generate tax-free wealth for your kids. For most people, two primary vehicles come to mind: the first is a Roth IRA, and the second is a 529 account.

    But here’s the issue—most kids don’t have earned income, so they can’t contribute to a Roth IRA, which takes that option off the table.The second option, a 529 account, can only be used for qualified education expenses. If the funds are used for anything else, the earnings will be subject to ordinary income taxes and a 10% penalty.

    As a financial planner who works closely with families of young children looking to build wealth, I’ve found that most parents want to generate tax-efficient wealth for their kids, but they don’t want to feel limited to education-related expenses.

    Today, I’m going to break down how you can achieve this using a custodial brokerage account. Trust me—you don’t want to miss it!
