This week on Ask Farnoosh, we're talking about the financial conversations that can save families years of stress—and why it's never too early to start having them.
First, a story from my daughter's lemonade stand that sparked an unexpected lesson about entrepreneurship, generosity, and teaching kids the value of earning (and giving) money.
Then, in the mailbag:
- How do you talk to your parents about retirement and estate planning without making them feel like you're taking away their independence? I share the key questions to ask—from healthcare and long-term care plans to wills, powers of attorney, debt, and retirement income.
- Should you superfund your children's 529 plans or contribute gradually over time? We break down the pros and cons of front-loading college savings, the power of compound growth, gift tax rules, and why a hybrid approach may be the smartest strategy.
Plus, in the headlines:
- Why more homeowners associations are moving toward foreclosure over unpaid dues.
- Relief for more than 170,000 student loan borrowers—and who qualifies.
