"Train up a child in the way they should go and when they are old, they will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6 One of the best ways we can teach our kids is by modeling things in front of them. Making financial conversations a family topic can be incredibly fruitful long term for all. - Start young, start simple: A piggy bank is so easy and kids love adding money to it! - Demonstrate balance: Teach them the balance of spending, savings and generosity. - Teach them to track: Teach them the habit of keeping track of how much they spend and where. - Help them understand value: Is it worth it or would our money be better used elsewhere? - Goal setting: Help them develop goals and celebrate when they hit them. - Teen investing: Chores and summer jobs are great opportunities to talk about investing basics. Check out the article in the comments for some more ideas of how to start the conversation. How do you teach your kids about money? We’d love to hear how you’re equipping the generation around money.

Welcome to Tactical Thursday! Losing a loved one is hard. Dealing with estate issues, finalizing burial plans and distributing assets and possessions just adds to an already exhausting and emotional situation. What if you or those you love could ensure that this process could be more streamlined and simplified? Our first discussion point: Understanding tax implications of inherited wealth. Depending on what is inherited there is a corresponding tax consequence to the estate and the inheritors. We’ll spend the first couple of weeks discussing the different types of tax buckets, tax now, tax later and tax never and what falls in each of those buckets. For now, here is an overview of each one. Tax Now: Ongoing taxes paid on interest accrued and gains inside of the account. Tax Later: Deferred taxes on principal and growth inside the account. Tax Never: No taxes paid as principal has already been taxed and growth is tax free. It is important to consult a financial professional and a tax professional to understand the full implications of each bucket. Having a legacy plan, whether you’re planning on passing money on or not can ensure your wealth passes as efficiently as possible. If you have questions we can help! Thrivent advisors are not tax professionals. Please see Thrivent.com/disclosures for important social media disclosures.
