Make The Right Decision Today—Your Future Will Thank You

Pay it towards the debt.

The Ramsey Show
Make The Right Decision Today—Your Future Will Thank You

Well, I'm assuming it's going to be the 11.5.

The Ramsey Show
Make The Right Decision Today—Your Future Will Thank You

Yeah, thanks, Ken and George, for taking my call.

The Ramsey Show

I've got a question.

The Ramsey Show
Make The Right Decision Today—Your Future Will Thank You

When my son and daughter were born, my wife and I made lump sum contributions to their 529s and their UTMA account, and now they're 9 and 12, and those accounts have grown to be over $1.3 million.

The Ramsey Show
Make The Right Decision Today—Your Future Will Thank You

Wow.

The Ramsey Show
Make The Right Decision Today—Your Future Will Thank You

I wanted that.

The Ramsey Show
Make The Right Decision Today—Your Future Will Thank You

Yeah, I wanted to ask you guys what you thought we should be doing to prepare them, whether we have wills and other things, what we should be doing to prepare them for the future.

Half of the lump sum went into a 529 for each of them, and then half went into a UTMA account for kind of ancillary expenses they might have.

The initial lump sum for each of the 529s was $141,000.

The Ramsey Show

We had saved before they were born and made that contribution when they were.

The Ramsey Show

I'd like to say that they'll make their own decision when the time comes.

The Ramsey Show
Make The Right Decision Today—Your Future Will Thank You

I have my own feelings, but I think they'll use the 529s, at least some of it,

The Ramsey Show
Make The Right Decision Today—Your Future Will Thank You

Okay, yeah, I'm not sure.

The Ramsey Show
Make The Right Decision Today—Your Future Will Thank You

That's the goal.

The Ramsey Show
Make The Right Decision Today—Your Future Will Thank You

And look, they're already listening to you guys.

The Ramsey Show
Make The Right Decision Today—Your Future Will Thank You

So hopefully they do exactly what you said.

The Ramsey Show
Make The Right Decision Today—Your Future Will Thank You

What else should we be doing?

The Ramsey Show
Make The Right Decision Today—Your Future Will Thank You

I mean, they're not, like I said, we have our own resources and we have wills and a trust set up for ourselves, my wife and I. But what should we be doing for them?

The Ramsey Show
Make The Right Decision Today—Your Future Will Thank You

Okay, so that's not something we would need to address now.
