I’m researching setting up a college trust fund for my niece and have a few questions.
I’ve looked at a handful of websites, MetLife.com being one of them, and everything seems to relate to “estate planning”. I’m not interested in transferring anything from my personal estate to my niece, only setting up a college fund whereby I and the rest of my family can contribute monthly to the fund.
How are taxes handled since I would be the trustee?
What type of account is / can a trust fund be setup under?
Who would I talk to in order to receive more information face-to-face or over the phone on this topic matter?
Thank you,
Rick

My family is full of secrets. No one wants them to get out and they do and they hurt people. I found out that my roommate has taken a secret check from my mother (I have had some trouble getting a job and was late on rent this past month) I owe 800$ my mother has given her
2000$. They both are presently lying to my face. I am really hurt. My roommate was one day pissed I was late on rent then the next day she’s like *don’t worry about it* you can babysit my kid I know it’s not money in your pocket but…* why can’t they just tell me the truth??

Nina asked:
I want to teach my kids 17 and 9 that family is very important. Basically I want them to be able to rely on each other when they are adults. Especially after I have passed away. I am not very close to my family. Sure, I show up for all family gatherings and also just to visit. I just don’t trust them with my feelings. My sister prefers to be close with her friends than to try to be close to me. I have tried to be close to her. Our youngest are the same age and the same ***. This alone should bring us close so our kids could grow up together. It doesn’t. Only if they spend the night at grandma’s do they get to spend time together. My mom has always favored my sister. (If my sister was aware, she never took advantage of this.)
So far, my older child has witnessed my frustration with my family and I know it will be a matter of time before the younger one will notice too. I know I can’t change my family. I just need advice on how to teach my kids how important it is to have family in your life. I know friends are great too, I just want them to follow my example with them and not give up because of what I go through.

Sorry for rambling on, as you can see, I am upset.
Thanks for your help!
btw, this isn’t something I am now trying to teach them. This is something I’ve been teaching them all along.

There are many to choose from in the Democrat and Republican and all the other parties. I myself have chosen John McCain but I want to hear who you have chose, if its McCain or who ever and give me your reasons if you want to. You might change a few voters opinions to vote ok?
If you watched the Republican debate then you are better able to answer this question. It made me more sure of John McCain myself.

confused soul asked:
I’ve been let down by many people in my life. I just don’t think I can trust anyone anymore. I only feel like I can trust my immediate family and that is it. I’m honest with people and then they will lie to me. I do what I say I will, but they never seem to do their part. I don’t feel like I have any friends that I can trust because the second something happens, they aren’t there. It has always been like this. I’ve found new friends but I could never trust them either. I’ve been in relationships with guys that ended up breaking my trust. Whenever I let someone in, they let me down. I make the mistake of getting emotionally attached and then get left torn and in the cold. I want to trust people, but how can I when I am let down so much?
