My son got a $4,000 settlement. Where should we put the money short term?

If you live in Utah there are quite a few savings accounts for kids

I'd prob just put it in a basic vanguard index fund

Can you do that in the name of a 10 year old though?

Troy McClure

I'd just do it in my own name and tell my kid I'm good for it. Just like I did

Put it all on BYU to win vs ISU.

We don't need that kind of karma. Put it all on Utah to win vs UCLA.

He's 10? Didn't they put his money in a trust account?

No, Progressive actually cut us a check

PJ is correct, you may want to put it in a trust for him to access when he turns

displacedute

I don't practice in Utah, and I am not sure if this is a current statute.

PJMort

11/13/19 12:41pm

What kind of account would you suggest? I have no idea what I’m doing haha

Savings, CDs, Money Market. Something that earns a little interest.

I actually think this is a bad idea. It’s likely the UTMA account will grow tax free for them

RdF3

11/13/19 12:25pm

A UTMA is taxed with the exception of $1,050

TPcoug

11/13/19 12:33pm

There's no way a $4k UTMA is going to generate over $1k of earnings. I'm guessing there aren't other funds factoring

Gotcha. Most of the information I cited was meant to be general

8 years is not short term

Robo investors are an interesting option. It being 8 years, I think a little

So his son should call JG Wentworth? I agree.

We just got a similar settlement for two of the kids from a car accident

USMCdad

11/13/19 1:23pm

Depending on the state your kid could use you for that when they turn 18

displacedute

11/13/19 4:21pm

For taking them to Hawaii? I doubt that.

USMCdad

11/13/19 4:26pm

Yes, if you're taking yourself too.

displacedute

11/13/19 4:42pm

I suspect if your kid is like that, then you’re probably not taking them to HI

CBaass

11/13/19 5:17pm

If you use your kid's money to take yourself to hawaii,

displacedute

11/13/19 5:24pm

My wife’s kids would rather go to Hawaii than sue her at 18

USMCdad

11/13/19 5:40pm

In my state she's stealing their money and could go to jail

displacedute

11/13/19 6:26pm

More than likely it went down like this

CBaass

I agree, but it doesn't matter.

You seem awfully worked up about this.

JohnnyComeLately

It bugs me. I've had clients' parents try to take their kids' money.

displacedute

11/14/19 3:35pm

If the law is as stated in the following for the state, is Hawaii ok?

JohnnyComeLately

11/14/19 3:41pm

It actually went more like this

USMCdad

11/14/19 5:32pm

They are 10 and 8, I doubt she will send them alone

The insurance company required her oldest daughter paid out direct to her
