Video Overview
Ms. Luo, formerly a Canadian citizen, moved to Texas in late 2023 to work at a university. The family has three members, including a 15-year-old child, and her husband has not yet started working in the United States. She retains a Canadian pension, real estate, and education funds, while owning a Texas home and holding QQQ and QLD in a Roth IRA. Her questions concern cashing out the Canadian pension, selling the property, joining a 403(b) or Roth 403(b), and when pledged borrowing becomes appropriate. The speaker favors moving Canadian assets to the United States while keeping education money separate and conservative. He prioritizes Roth IRA contributions, then Roth 403(b) and the channel's 613, 514, or 424 allocations, and uses US$800,000 in a regular account as a threshold for considering pledging. The cross-border pension, dividend, and tax claims are not independently verified.
