Greetings from Omaha, Nebraska!
August has a way of sneaking up on you — one day it’s pool season, the next you’re buying school supplies and wondering where summer went. Fitting, then, that two of this month’s reads are about kids and money: what parents need to know about scholarship taxes before fall tuition hits, and why the new Trump Accounts pair well with a plan to convert to a Roth down the road. If you have young kids, that one’s worth five minutes.
Elsewhere, oil markets are jittery again, which is a good reminder of why we build portfolios that don’t depend on calm headlines. And finally, a few articles about how airline points are reshaping summer travel, the integration of dentistry and long-term health, and why Costco might be the last thing all of America agrees on.
As always, we’re here if you need us — whether it’s a question about one of these or you just want to catch up.
Until next time,
Tyler Anderson
