Put money aside for kids, or put it in mortgage offset? I want to set my kids up so. Is it financially better to put money in an investment account for them when they turn 18, or to pay off my mortgage with the money? Will I be better off and more able to help them out if I pay it off my mortgage or will the investment returns be more meaningful if I put the money aside for them now? submitted by…

DC Trip with 4 Kids We’re going to Washington, D.C., for a short trip to celebrate my son’s 8th birthday, and we have 3 other kids all younger than him (5,3,1). We’re going for four days and three nights. The plan is to check out the Spy Museum, Natural History, and maybe some others, but our son is interested in the first two for sure. Most importantly, where sho…

Point and shoot camera for kids? I’m planning on getting my niece a point and shoot camera as part of a gift for her 6th birthday. Budget for the entire gift is about $75-$100, so I’d like to keep the camera around $30-$50. I asked my SIL (niece’s mom) about any particular requests/features and the only thing she mentioned was that if the camera was pink, my niece would be ove…

One week in Malaysia with kids We live in Asia and are traveling to Malaysia for a holiday, around 7-8 days. Was hoping to do a split between Malaysia and Singapore, but I wonder whether that is too much moving given the short time, plus Singapore accom is 2-3 times the price. At the moment, I was planning on taking it slow and staying entirely in KL with the occasional day t…

What “kids show” has the most murder in it? OK so definitely let me qualify as that was a weird title lol. Just watched Gravity Falls and, wow, what an incredible show. However, it’s a show that aired ‘for kids’ with a myriad of adult jokes and references alongside bright colors, animal friends, and silliness. Especially within meta episodes where they reference that they are doing that. …

Best Lens & Settings to photograph kids outdoors? I’m not a newbie but far from a pro.

But I have trouble photographing my toddler who moves around constantly. Which lens would be best…

Set up Roth For Kids or Put That Into Retirement To Distribute Later? My wife and I are trying to gameplan on how to put money away for our kids now (Both under 3) so when they’re older, we will give them funds for a wedding, house, or whatever the situation calls for. I plan on educating them financially throughout the years so they have a grasp on what money even means but I’m struggling on the plan that would b…

Trip with kids in December Hello, would love some ideas from travelers with kids on where to go in mid December for about a week. Kids’ first trip was Costa Rica and they loved it. Turks & Caicos and USVI islands were both suggested but we are not a family who is happy sunbathing on the beach for 7 days and I am concerned these might all be fancy hotels and hanging on th…

LPT: Order off the kids menu Without typing a novel, most places have zero idea how to correctly portion out food for a child which results in “lite adult” portions for a much cheaper price. Order off that kids meal and save dollars and more. Note: this obviously does not address how kids meals are over-portioned. submitted by /u/blacksoxing

You Kids Think You’re Punk? Then Name Two SR-71 Albums My nephew told me he was getting into punk music and played me some stuff from this guy Machine Gun Kelly. I couldn’t help but laugh and roll my eyes. What these kids today call “punk” is embarrassing. It’s time they learn what real punk is from someone who was there when it happened. I was there when Yellowcard opened for Good Charlotte. I was …

Books for parents that have money and don’t want to spoil their kids Hi r/personalfinance, A while back I thought I saw reference to a book that was written for parents in HNW and UHNW families that provided a roadmap for getting your kids on the right track with money so that they understand the value of it and so we as the parents don’t spoil them. I’ve searched here and Amazon and can’t find the title that sti…

LPT Record yourself reading your kids favorite story to them so they’ll have it when you’re gone I have a neurodegenerative disease that has wiped out my memory of my dad. I only remember what he looks like based on a memorial card my mom has. I have no idea what he sounded like and maybe have a few minutes worth of memories from the 24 years he was here. He read to me when I was younger but the only thing I remember is how wonderful the fe…
