Planning for your child’s future? Don’t assume a 529 only works for college.

A 529 plan can be one strategy families consider when preparing for future education costs. Contributions can grow tax-advantaged, and qualified withdrawals are generally tax-free at the federal level.

And if your child takes a different path after high school, the money doesn’t just go to waste.

Depending on the circumstances, a 529 can potentially be used for eligible trade schools and other qualified education expenses, transferred to another eligible family member, or, subject to certain rules and limits, rolled into the beneficiary’s Roth IRA.

The key is understanding your options and how education savings fits into your overall financial plan.

When should you start taking Social Security?

Age 62 isn’t automatically the right answer—and waiting until 70 isn’t always the best fit either.

Your health, income needs, retirement savings, taxes, and spouse’s benefits can all play a role in the decision.

Our latest blog breaks down what to consider before claiming Social Security.

You’ve probably heard of IULs — but did you know they’ve become increasingly popular as a tax-efficient financial planning strategy?

An Indexed Universal Life (IUL) policy can provide life insurance protection while also offering the potential to build cash value over time. That cash value may be accessed during your lifetime, potentially providing another source of funds in the future.*

For some individuals and families, an IUL can be an important piece of a broader financial strategy — especially when tax planning is part of the conversation.

Curious if an IUL could make sense for you? Let’s talk. Call me at (314) 619-1283 or reach out here, and we can walk through the details together.

*Policy loans and withdrawals will reduce policy cash values and death benefits and may cause the policy to lapse or require additional premiums to keep the policy in force.
