Start Here: How Should I Invest $10,000 for Each of My Kids?

Have your children received an inheritance or cash gift and you want to make sure it sets them up for the future?

In this Start Here episode, I answer a powerful question from a listener whose three boys each received $10,000 from their grandfather. She wants to invest the money wisely and honour his legacy.

If you're in a similar position, or planning ahead for your children's future, this episode walks you through the three main ways to invest money for a child and the pros and cons of each.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✅ The differences between investing in your own name, your child’s name, or as trustee
✅ The potential tax implications for each option
✅ How to keep investments clear, simple, and legally structured
✅ Why I personally invest in my name, as trustee, using Listed Investment Companies (LICs) for each of my kids
✅ How franking credits can help reduce tax and support long-term growth

✨ The truth? There’s no one-size-fits-all approach but with clarity and intention, you can make a decision that empowers your child financially for years to come.

🎧 Press play now for a breakdown that’s simple, practical, and honest.
