00:00
once your kids turn 18 or 19 put a pound in a lifetime isa for them why a pound very good
00:05
question so the reason it's a pound is because the lifetime isa is this amazing product for some
00:12
doesn't work for others where you can put up to four thousand pounds a year and the state adds a
00:16
25 bonus towards a first-time property so you put four grand in you get a grand a year but you can
00:22
only use it if it's been open for a year you only get the bonus if it's been open for a year so why
00:27
put a pound in because that starts the clock ticking you put a pound in even if they don't
00:31
want to use it now if they suddenly decide in two years something's happened that they can buy a
00:35
house they could then shove the four grand in and they'd get the thousand pound bonus straight away
00:40
rather than having to wait so you may as well have the lifetime isa open anybody aged between 18 and
00:46
39 who has not opened a house get at least a pound in the worst that can happen is if you want to take
00:51
it out you'd pay a 6.25 penalty so you'd lose 6p so it's a 6p risk for doing this equally
00:57
anyone aged 39 who's never bought a house or not opened a lyser get yourself a pound in before
01:02
you turn 40 because you can open it beforehand and it stays valid afterwards but if you don't
01:06
open it before you're 40 it doesn't
01:07
you can open it before you do not have that house or not opened it before you can do that
01:19
you can save it Rainer then I don't know how anymore you're going to get the house or you can
01:19
just use the house.
01:19
You have to take the house for 30 minutes now.
01:20
You do have to take the house for 20 minutes enough.
01:21
I don't know if you don't have a house with your house or even if you don't have a house
