3 Steps for Mothers to Help Their Children Become Millionaires
If you are a mother and you want your child to be a millionaire before you, then you need to do the following three things right now.
1. Hire Your Child
Hire your child to work for you and pay them $12,000 a year to do so. There is no minimum age to earn a salary, as long as the job is not hazardous and is age-appropriate. For example, no, you cannot hire your five-year-old child to be your driver. Oh, and you can deduct that $12,000 as a business expense.
2. Contribute to a Custodial Roth IRA
Put $6,500 of that money directly into a custodial Roth IRA. Invest in low-cost index funds, teach your child a thing or two about investing along the way, and they will most likely be a millionaire by age 45.
3. Authorized User on Credit Card
Finally, list them as an authorized user on your credit card, but only if you have good credit yourself. They will inherit a stronger credit score at 18 and hopefully learn about responsible credit card use in the process.
Taking these steps can set your child on the path to financial independence and wealth from an early age!
