Jeremy Schneider: 在决定是否为孩子投资前,必须优先确保自身的财务安全。这意味着在偿还债务(抵押贷款除外)、建立足够的紧急基金(至少3个月的开支)并为退休做好规划后,才能考虑为孩子投资。这样做是为了避免因自身财务风险而影响到孩子的未来。 在自身财务状况稳定后,可以选择四种投资策略:第一,为自己投资,然后将资金赠予孩子。利用美国赠与税的免税额度,可以灵活地将资金转移给孩子,同时保留对资金的控制权。这种方法的优点在于灵活性和控制权,缺点是可能并非最佳的税收策略。 第二,使用监护式经纪账户(UGMA/UTMA)。这种账户的优点是税收优惠(以孩子的税率征税,通常为零),资金用途灵活。缺点是孩子一旦成年(18或21岁),将完全拥有资金,且可能影响大学助学金申请。 第三,使用529教育储蓄计划。这种计划的优点是免税增长,没有收入限制,且供款额度较高。缺点是资金用途仅限于教育支出,如果孩子不选择上大学,则可能面临税收和罚款。 第四,使用监护式Roth IRA。这种账户的优点是免税增长,鼓励长期投资,税收优惠优于监护式经纪账户。缺点是孩子需要有收入才能供款,且在59.5岁之前提取资金会受到限制。 选择哪种策略取决于家庭的具体情况和财务目标。重要的是,在为孩子投资前,要做好充分的规划,并了解各种投资工具的优缺点。
