💰🎓 Planning for your child's college education? 🎓💰 Here’s a tip: Be careful how you save. While retirement accounts like 401(k)s and IRAs don’t count against financial aid, assets in your child’s name do. The formula expects 20% of their assets to go toward college costs, but only 5.6% from the parents' assets. To maximize financial aid eligibility, keep savings in your name and focus on contributing to your retirement accounts. Plus, some schools offer merit-based aid even to well-off families. Plan smart today to boost both savings and financial aid opportunities! https://lnkd.in/erCT9ixF #CollegePlanning #FinancialAidTips #SmartSaving

Check fraud is on the rise, with losses estimated at $24 billion in 2023, nearly double from five years ago. Criminals often steal checks from mailboxes and alter or forge them. A recent report highlights that 44% of stolen checks were altered, while others were fraudulently signed or used to create counterfeit checks. To combat this, consider switching to secure payment methods like debit cards or electronic transfers, using your bank's fraud prevention tools, and reconciling accounts regularly. Preventing check fraud starts with awareness and proactive security measures. Stay vigilant! https://lnkd.in/dVp2xYwj #FraudPrevention #CheckFraud #SecurePayments

Considering a self-directed IRA for your retirement plan? 🌟 These IRAs offer broader investment options beyond traditional stocks and bonds, allowing you to invest in alternative assets like real estate, closely held businesses, and cryptocurrency. 🏡💼💰 They also provide potential estate planning advantages by allowing assets to grow tax-deferred or tax-free for your heirs. However, not all assets are eligible, so it's important to know the rules. Before setting up a self-directed IRA, be aware of risks like prohibited transactions and potential tax traps 🚫💸. Working with tax and estate planning professionals can help you navigate these complexities and secure the best outcome for your financial future. 📊💡 #RetirementPlanning #SelfDirectedIRA #EstatePlanning #TaxStrategy #FinancialGoals #InvestSmart #TaxTips #WealthManagement #CPAFirm
