    You can also contribute to a 529, that they can later roll into a Roth IRA. The max you can roll over for that is $35,000(This doesn't appear to be indexed for inflation...so that part sucks). For my son I contribute monthly to both an UTMA(100% S&P 500), and a 529(Vanguard Total US Stock...

    Swapped all my buys of VTI from 2021 and this year for VOO...yay for some more years of 3k loss carryovers. I am buy and hold on indexes and continually buying so I rarely have huge amounts like this to tax loss harvest. Flipped from FTEC to QQQ as well.
