[260925] "그야말로 허점 투성이"…한국판 트럼프 계좌 '우리아이자립펀드' - 소득 4단계·오락가락 출생일 속 진짜 문제 | 주식주부 리나 이효석아카데미 No, if you have no income, you don't have to pay a single penny and just give away all the information. Ah, that’s not right. I think it’s also a problem to exempt people from paying just because their income is high. Because you have to pay. If everything is free, it doesn't really feel like your own money, does it? Whether it’s 10,000 won or 20,000 won, you have to pay. If you show that minimum willingness, the government will provide generous support. That’s right. So, that’s even more wrong. Because it has to be simple. Unconditionally. The Lee Ho-seok Academy Naver Premium Content Channel is the number one channel out of a total of 4,600 channels. To celebrate our 4th anniversary, we are holding a special event for the month of September only. First, we are offering a 50,000 won discount. If you try it for a month and aren't satisfied, we will refund 100%. That shows we are confident. Second, we invite you to the Hyoching Club, the undisputed number one investment community in Korea. Finally, at the end of the year, we are giving away a high-end investment diary called the PR Diary. Wait, with such great benefits, aren't you going to sign up? It's only running for the month of September, so don't miss out. Hello. This is Lee Yo-seok. Today, I'm joined by Lina. Hello. Hello. This is Stock Housewife Lina. When I say "This is Stock Housewife Lina," it gives off a certain YouTuber vibe. Now that our subscribers have surpassed 2,000, what should we do? We'll keep going until we reach 670,000. 670,000? We're currently at 690,000, and it looks like we'll reach 700,000 this week. No, let's take this down. No, we can't do this. We're heading towards 700,000 now, but...ah, wait. Could you briefly introduce the Stock Housewife channel? Ah, the Stock Housewife channel is a YouTube channel for those who find ETF investing difficult even after watching the Lee Yo-seok Academy, or those who want to build a core asset base beyond just individual stock investing. Uh, this is a YouTube channel where Hanna and I teach you how to build a solid foundation for your assets over the long term by utilizing ETFs and long-term accounts. I’ll put the link on Thebo. Right away. Actually, I have this thought: while I give a lot of advice to people around me, there are some who feel that Lina and Hanna’s words resonate with them much more sincerely than mine. If you are one of those people, I really think you should subscribe. When I think about who those people are, they are the ones who say, "Hey, I don't really understand what you're saying. It sounds like good advice, though." Or, "I know what they mean by AI changing, but honestly, I can't quite figure out exactly what it is, yet I know I need to invest." But when it comes to actually managing things like ETF investments or pensions , there is actually more to learn than you might think. Since this channel provides meticulous and detailed explanations on those topics, I hope you will take an interest in the "Stock Housewife" channel. The reason we invited you, Lina, is that I uploaded a video over the weekend explaining the Trump account. It garnered 600,000 views. That shows just how incredibly hot people's interest is. I interpret this interest as a kind of "mixture." It's like people in Korea can't stand the jealousy. They think, " Hey, America does that, but what about us?" I mean, regarding that Trump account, basically, when a child is born, you put about 1.5 million won in for the child, and then the parents put in another 7.5 million won, totaling 9 million won a year. But then they ask, "Why don't we have this in Korea?" Isn't that why the numbers are so high? They think, "Look at this. I think people are sharing it a lot." But I heard that we actually have something like that in Korea, too. It would be great if you could introduce that to us . Yes. While talking about the Trump account, you mentioned that we could just copy it exactly, and in the comments, people were saying things like, "America is the best," and "Don't we have anything like this in Korea?" That's what you were saying. But actually, it does exist. I mean, it doesn't already exist, but since we are planning to implement it next year based on birth years, I prepared a discussion about that. I see. So we do have thoughts on it, and we are prepared. That's right. Exactly. Right. The budget for next year was announced around the end of August, and if you look at the budget data, there was just a single page. It was titled the "Our Child's Place Fund," and the budget was estimated at around 140 billion won. So, although it hasn't passed the National Assembly yet, it's actually a hot topic among mothers these days. I was thinking of discussing it on the "Stock Housewife" forum, but since you happened to be talking about the Trump account at the Lee Yo-seok Academy, I brought it here. So, how much is the budget for the "Our Child Fund"? I think the "Independence" one was around 146.5 billion won. Ah, so actually, can't we allocate 146.5 billion won for our children? Right? We have to. Of course. Ah, our country's current government budget is 0.1 trillion won, not 800 trillion won. So, they say they won't even do this? That’s the thought that crosses my mind. But what exactly is the content? Well, if we look at it, there have been many programs supporting young people, such as "Youth Future Savings." So, there were many forms of support where the government would provide additional subsidies to those who were already young adults if they paid 500,000 won for three years. However, this "Our Child's Place Fund" is a fund designed to help build assets before one becomes a young adult, providing the necessary capital once they become young adults —whether for continuing their studies , starting a business, or becoming independent. But the concept behind the Trump account is this: when a child is born, the government just gives you money. And if you want to contribute more later, do so, and we’ll give you tax benefits. That’s what it is, right? How is it set up in our country right now? Ah, in our country, the government provides subsidies on a differential basis according to the parents 'income. This does vary slightly depending on whether the income falls between 50%and 150%of the median income. First, if the income is below 50%of the median income, the parents do not make any contributions at all. Instead of the parents making any payments, the government provides 1.2 million won per year. They continue to provide 1.2 million won from the time the child is born until they become a young adult at age 19. They keep providing it. Yes. Oh. So, that amounts to about 22.8 million won in government subsidies. Therefore, if payments are not discontinued and continue steadily during that period, the fund is managed with a target return of about 6%per year, and the profits are given to the child when they become a young adult. That is how it works. Oh, I see. Yes. So, if the income is low, the government provides more support, but if the income rises above that—for the 50%to 100%range—if the parents contribute 500,000 won, the government contributes 1 million won. In other words, the government contributes twice as much as the parents. Ah, right. In that case, I don't think there is much reason not to do it. Since parents can pay the 500,000 won monthly premium, it would be worth it if possible. Also, if my median income is between 100%and 150%of my family's median income, they say they will match it 1: 1. However, incomes exceeding 150 %are not eligible. So, while there are slight differences depending on the income criteria, the government is essentially providing about 1 to 1.2 million won in support for the child. Since this is a fund, it seems the exact investment products haven't been decided yet. However, it is a fund that aims to generate a return of around 6% to deliver up to 70 million won when the child becomes an adult. Ah, the intention is really good, but I think there might be some controversy. Viewers of this broadcast will likely be thinking, "If there is no income, they don't pay a single penny and just give away all the information? Ah, that's not right." I think there might be people who think that way. No, asking me to pay more just because my income is high? Ah, I think there might be some controversy regarding this as well. Honestly, I felt that such measures were somewhat unnecessary. I think it is problematic to simply make people pay a small amount and exempt them from paying just because their income is higher. Because they have to pay, too. If everything is free, it doesn't really feel like my own money, does it? Whether it's 10,000 won or 20,000 won, you have to pay. So, instead of making people pay 500,000 won or 1 million won, shouldn't we just level the playing field? Like asking them to pay just 100,000 won or 50,000 won, and then having the government provide support? If they show that minimum willingness, the government should provide substantial support. That is correct. Because it involves their own money. If you think about it—for example, if a child is born and you go through the trouble of paying money, opening an account, and doing something —isn't it right for the government to say, "We will give you money just for doing that"? I think it would be good if you could review this again. You are dividing people into grades, right? How many income levels are you dividing it into? Right now, it's divided into four levels. So, that is wrong from the start. Because it has to be simple. Absolutely. We know we have to do this, don't we? When moving from one point to another, if there is even one step in the middle, we stop. A hurdle is created. There shouldn't be any hurdles. So, you have to know which income level you are in to prove your income, right? It makes sense to just do it without wasting time on that. So, instead of giving everyone a lump sum, I think it would be much better to reduce the amount and just distribute it based on income. I hope you will take this into consideration. There is one more point of controversy here, though. In fact, it's not just about the differential payment amount; the question of which child it applies to and when the child was born is currently a very hot topic of debate. In the case of the Trump account, it operates by covering the period from January 2015 to December 2018—that is , covering children from those already born to those yet to be born. However, in this case, it hasn't been decided yet. Initially, they said yes, it would be given to children born starting in July 2027, then they said January 2027, and now they are saying September 2026. So, it is currently quite ambiguous. Since I gave birth last year, I would be eligible for the Trump account, but this is a very puzzling and regrettable situation. It must be a very sensitive issue, right? If it doesn't work out, you should take a close look. Let's assume it starts from September 2026. Then the baby has to be born in August. The date is set for the end of August. So what happens? The surgery date is currently August 29th. Then this is completely...this is a story that is bound to be highly controversial. In addition, the question of whether this will be tax-exempt or subject to a low separate taxation rate is currently a hot topic. There were reports that it was under review, but looking at the press release from the Financial Services Commission, they stated, "No, nothing has been decided." When making comparisons, they are essentially saying that it is tax-exempt. Therefore, comparing this with the current situation, the two main points of contention seem to be whether there will actually be tax benefits and to which the child will be born to receive them. We are closely monitoring the situation and will provide an update later. This is actually a proposal I made during the presidential candidate debates. I suggested that when a child is born, they should simply be given money to buy KOSPI ETFs. I argued that if this happens, the entire public's interest in the KOSPI rising will align , leading to calls to "do it unconditionally." I claimed that companies like Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix would not be able to act as they please, and that their value would rise. It seems that this has now begun. It is very good that they started, but I think they really need to do a good job right from the start to avoid controversy. However, I think if this video is released already, there will be a huge controversy in the comments. People will say things like, "Hey, is it right that they can't do that?" or " If that's the case, do it from July," or "Do it from June." Since it has to pass, we should do it before then. Or, just like we blocked the ISA reform by raising our voices as much as possible, I think we should try speaking up as well. But I actually think the fact that this is creating controversy is a good thing . That is how interest is generated; otherwise, there wouldn't be any interest, right? So, it starts with the sentiment of "I am envious of my own country," but we are asking for it to be applied. Right? Ultimately, looking at this from a macroscopic perspective in the big picture, I have this thought : What will the world be like in the future? I think they will give us more money. If we go to the countryside where our parents live, there are elderly people standing at crosswalks on the street, telling people not to go. I heard that person mentioned there is a traffic light system and said they would pay you if you did that. In my opinion, it’s not just this; I think there will be more instances in the future where people are paid for doing tasks that aren't really necessary. This is likely because discussions about AI and basic income are emerging. This is probably part of that. However, if we consider how much less money is required, I believe it is about making the financial market healthier and opening up opportunities for us to earn money through investment . If we are heading in that direction, what we need to do is clear. So, if you visit the "Stock Housewife" channel and say you can handle ETFs even if I can't handle individual stocks, it is very important to learn the methods and start as soon as possible. Of course. If you come to the "Stock Housewife" channel, we will explain in detail how to operate the trading machine, and you can also watch my "Yangshin Confession" or Hanna's acting feat show, so I think it would be good to subscribe right now . Understood. Now, Lina is appearing today for the first time in a while, and since she is discussing a very controversial topic, I expect there will be a lively discussion in the comments. Uh, but I noticed you prepared something while I wasn't looking. You know, something you prepared together with me. That's right. Our' Stock Housewives ' Team—Hanna, myself, and CEO Lee Ho-seok—is planning to arrange a session soon to hear about the difficulties you are facing regarding the ETF investments and long-term accounts that we mentioned earlier. I will let you know the details shortly. Understood. Okay then, that's all for today with Lina. We will see you next time. Thank you.
