My nephew's birthday is coming up,
and I think I'm going to put money in his investment account instead of getting him a bunch of toys.
Please do that.
You know what he does not need and his parents do not need is another noisy.
Flashy toy that takes up space on the floor that they're
going to step on in the middle of the night and curse you for.
Please do that.
And, you know, I think it's really common these days.
Your circles want to help, you know, grandparents, aunts, uncles.
Like I opened Ted's 529 at the urging of my aunt and uncle who are super financially savvy.
They were like, please, please, please do this before he's born.
And every single birthday, every single Christmas on my birthday, they contribute to his 529,
which I just think is so loving.
Yeah.
I think some family members will be relieved.
To have something they can contribute to and not have to pick out the right toy or the right gift.
