I've lived in America and Canada. Paid about the same in taxes but get way more for my taxes in Canada. Most Americans hate the government (hate giving them their money even more) because they've never experienced good governance.
I honestly think America needs a completely restructure of their political system thankfully trump is back. It is just not working. Trump and Biden being elected out of 300 million people to run the country is evidence for that too.
This is why the US should elect more progressive politicians, who know how to manage budgets and give us (yes, pur country's initials literally spell out that pronoun) much better tax credits in return for better public education and better public healthcare. but since these are nonexistent, my husband and I are being guided to finance our retirement and healthcare through a diversified investment portfolioportfolio

Increasing tax rates are the reason I rolled over my 401k to a Roth. I don’t want to be 59 paying taxes on current income on withdrawals made from my retirement account. I'm now seeking best possible areas or ways to gain wealth in today's economy.
Pre-tax contributions may help reduce income taxes in your pre-retirement years while after-tax contributions may help reduce your income tax burden during retirement.
Both have their perks but you can also save for retirement outside of a retirement plan, such as in an individual investment account or employing the services of a retirement planner/investment advisor.
Private investing is the best way to go about the market right now, especially for near retirees, I've been in touch with a wealth manager, netted 370K the last downturn, made it clear there's more to the markets than we average joes know.
Tax laws can be so complex, and it’s super helpful to break them down like this. Understanding how different policies can impact our finances is crucial for making informed decisions.
Making profitable investments during this time of political change can be risky without that insight. For me, working with an adviser is the best first step to navigate these complexities and make informed choices.
I think having an investment advisor is the way to go. I've been with one because I lack the expertise for the market. I made over $490K during the recent dip, highlighting that there's more to the market than we average folks know.
1. Traditional IRA (Individual Retirement Account) $7,000 per person 2. Traditional 401K through business, $23,000 as an employee (as a business $69,000) 3. Health Savings Account (can pay for qualified health expenses including massages, gym membership, etc) 4. Donor Advised Fund, charity 5. Small business (pay taxes after expenses, report less income) also for start up costs, advertising costs, research costs 6. Real estate investments, write off depreciation, also mortgage interests, 7. Oil and gas investments, can deduct 65-80% investments of 1 year
"Alright, I’ve finally done it! Stashed away $123k in my emergency fund and ready to jump into the investment world. But, taxes, man… they’re like that nosy neighbor who takes a cut of your BBQ. Loved this video-these tax-reducing investments sound cool, but are they the holy grail or just a flashy PowerPoint? Anyone got a better head start for a noob investor trying not to trip out the gate?"
"Congrats on the $123k! That’s no small feat. But let me play devil’s advocate here: tax-saving investments are great, but they’re not the whole picture. You might miss some big wins if you only focus there. I’d suggest sitting down with a pro-I did that a few years back, and it was a game changer. A financial advisor might save you from being penny-wise and pound-foolish."
"Okay, I’m in the same boat-just started saving big and realized I need help navigating this. But where the heck do you even find a decent financial advisor? Everyone’s either sketchy or charging like they’re selling gold. Any pointers?"
"There are a handful of CFAs. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with Linda Aretha Reeves for some years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s known in her field-look her up."
As an investment enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become financially stable, I do have a significant amount of capital that is required to start up but I have no idea what strategies and direction I need to approach to help me make over $400k like some people are this season.
I believe the safest approach is to diversify investments especially under professional; guide. You can mitigate the effects of a market meltdown by diversifying their investments across different asset classes such as stocks, ETFs etc It is important to seek the advice of an expert.
On the contrary, even if you’re not skilled, it is still possible to hire one. I am a project manager and my personal port-folio of approximately $750k took a big hit in April due to the crash. I quickly got in touch with a financial-planner that devised a defensive strategy to protect and profit from my port-folio this red season. I’ve made over $350k since then
‘Grace Adams Cook’ is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name, you’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
Thank you for sharing, I must say, She appears to be quite knowledgeable. After coming across her web page, I went through her resume and it was quite impressive.
One thing about traditional IRA and 401K. All the earnings are also taxed when you withdraw. ROTH 401k and IRA (backdoor if you have to) is all tax free when you withdraw. Your contributions have already been taxed. This is a huge benefit because if you contribute 100k and it becomes 1 million over 20 years. Traditional=taxed on 1 million. Roth=taxed on the 100k. The 1 million withdraw is tax free. Essentially 900k tax free.
I am impressed with your update with these strategies, I am looking for tax efficient way to rebalance my 800k retirement portfolio without triggering capital gain tax. what asset location strategies should i use?
The best strategy depends on your financial situation, account types, tax bracket, and investment goals. Consult a financial advisor or tax professional to tailor these strategies for maximum tax efficiency.
My advisor helped me rebalance my $2m portfolio without triggering capital gains taxes by using tax-advantaged accounts and reallocating dividends and new contributions. They also recommended tax-loss harvesting and strategies to stay within my tax bracket. Thanks to their guidance, I maintained my desired asset allocation while minimizing taxes.
I work with the popular *Marissa Lynn Babula* , Who happens to be a is a hot topic among financial elitist in NY. Especially for her works during Covid. All the information you need to set up an appointment is on her web page.
What sets top investors apart from the rest? I've got $385K in equity from a home sale and I'm unsure whether to put it into stocks or wait for a more favorable market condition.
You're correct. I think the smartest way to go is to spread out your investments. By putting your money into different asset classes like bonds, real estate, and stocks from other countries, you can lower the risk if one part of the market goes bad.
Several individuals minimize the importance of counsel until their own feelings become overwhelming. A few summers ago, following a protracted divorce, I needed a significant push to keep my firm afloat. I looked for licensed advisors and found someone with the highest qualifications. She has contributed to my reserve increasing from $235k to $690k despite inflation.

From all the things you suggest ON!Y a small business will truly provide a tax deduction, everything else is a tax deferral and still removes the dollars from your pocket while at the same time both IRAs and 401K are very expensive and complicated to setup and maintain. At the end of the day you have less money in your pocket and your money depends on market forces and health. If the market does bad your money won’t grow much. Start a side business and make sure it makes money by year 5 or it’s considered a hobby and the IRS won’t recognize your expenses. Then start another business. Run legit expenses like car, business equipment, aircraft, heavy machinery through there and they are mostly deductible. Your phone, printing, 50% of meals. Just make sure you keep good records and don’t overdo it and the IRS won’t ring your doorbell.
Because ROTH IRAs are tax-free, you'll be able to keep more of the money you've worked so hard to earn.I want to invest more than $300k, but I'm not sure how to go.
Holding fixed-income assets in tax-deferred retirement funds as opposed to taxable accounts has additional advantages. If you don't know how to invest in the market, get some advice from a financial counselor.
Having an investment advisor is the best way to go about the stock market right now. I was going solo, but it wasn't working. I’ve been in touch with an advisor for a while now, and just last year, I made over 80% capital growth minus dividends.

Diversification is the secret to optimal performance. This is why I have my interests set on market sectors based on performance and projected growth, such as the EV sector, renewable energy, Tech, and Health. Keep investing regularly and you'll be blown away how much it can change in a few short years. Here's to $1 million and to FIRE
Safest approach i feel to tackle it is to diversify investments. By spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown. its important to seek the guidance of an expert
A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.
This is definitely considerable! think you could suggest any professional/advisors I can get on the phone with? I'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation.

The rising interest rate can surely control inflation, but won't prevent erosion of the eroding purchasing power of the US dollar. I have learnt my lesson this time. The banks can't be making money off my money, while inflation eats into it. I have set aside 650k to invest in the stock market now, since that keeps up with inflation, but I don't know how to get started.
Find quality stocks that have long term potential, and ride with those stocks. I have found it takes someone who is very familiar with the market to make such good picks.
How can one find a verifiable financial planner? I would not mind looking up the professional that helped you. I will be retiring in two years and I might need some management on my much larger portfolio. Don't want to take any chances.

So folks should not allow themselves to get overwhelmed by these types of investments, which is a common mistake people make, and so they never really get started on a plan that will eventually include some of these instruments that he’s talking about here in the video. So I’ve seen many people at my agency where I retired from get overwhelmed with what they should do with their money, and how should they plan for retirement, and unfortunately, the agency in the beginning, after we had a change from the old civil service, retirement, system (CSRS) to the new federal employees retirement system (FERS) didn’t do a good job of explaining the new system, so a lot of employees just gave up, and they left an awful lot of money on the table, and I’m talking billions of dollars simply left on the table, because the people did not understand how these plans actually worked. So the first thing to do is educate yourself, and to realize you don’t have to make every decision at once, and a good plan includes your spouse too, as you will be surprised, particularly men, and those who have gone through divorces or simply separated without getting a divorce can complicate their retirement picture, and the essential important things that should have been discussed way back when either didn’t get discussed or the adjust being discussed at the endgame which is way too late, but you’re going to have to discuss them at some point if you have a spouse or a significant other. So don’t do this alone, unless you have to, as obviously if you don’t have a spouse, then that’s a different story, but either way get started educating yourself and start to think about using a certified financial planner to help you develop your plan, as no one is going to do it for you, and so it’s really gonna be up to you, and a good way to get started is by asking yourself, questions about what is it that you want to achieve in your life, and how much is it gonna cost, because money is a big part of that answer, and in particular when you are nearing retirement, and based on those answers, and on your particular circumstances, you need to consider how long will you live beyond the age of retirement, which is starting at age 55, and sadly, most people, are not prepared to retire or to even answer that question, and so they’re simply not prepared to retire, because they know they don’t have enough money to do so, and so the vast majority of people who are eligible to retire, simply don’t, and so they will continue to work after retirement which is exactly what happens with most people. So are you going to, retire, meaning, are you going to retire permanently when you leave your current job or are you just going to go out and get another job? So that’s the question you need to answer, because if you want to retire permanently, meaning I’m not going to go out and look for another job, and I am not going to work for anyone ever again, and so the money question is very important here, because the question becomes will you have the money to be able to live out that dream life that you always wanted, because if your answer is no, then don’t you think you need to get started immediately putting away as much money as you can in one of these tax saving vehicles, and just as important understanding how to maximize your return on your investments, is the other part of that equation, and that has to do with your level of risk tolerance, because a lot of people simply can’t handle losses. So for those people, putting money into the stock market isn’t going to work for them, and what I have said, and I practiced this, is number 1) never invest in things you don’t understand, number 2) never invest in things that keep you up at night, because why would you wanna do that? Isn’t getting a good nights sleep, just just as important as making sure you have good nutrition, and you’re practicing distressing techniques, and getting in enough exercise, and taking care of your health, because if your health is a question now, what do you think it’s going to be when you retire? So a plan that contains more traditional investments, like fixed, income investments, we’re talking bonds, certain types of real estate investments,, utilities, etc. maybe the way for you, particularly in the beginning, and until you gain confidence that you can handle the ups, and downs, the choppiness, and the frothiness of what investing in the stock market normally entails, but whatever the mix-and-match of your investments, you happen to choose, get started by first educating yourself, and get started with a plan to achieve your long-term goal of retiring with the type of income security that will assure you that you can retire and be able to finance your lifestyle without having to depend on outside employment. Cheers 🥂
convinced that investing $50k-100k in the right company before it goes big is better than just saving for retirement. But since picking the right company is hard, saving might be safer-who would’ve guessed SPGI? I have $200k in a HYSA and want to invest. What are the best opportunities now?
I agree with you. As an early investor in NVDA, AVGO, ANSS, and LRCX, my financial advisor's advice was incredibly helpful. Over the past 7 years, she has helped me find stocks that did 10x multiple times. With her help, I've grown my portfolio to over a million dollars.

These frequent tax code changes are disrupting my long-term investment strategies. Are there ways to structure my investments to be more resilient to potential tax code modifications?
Tax code changes taught me to you can build resilience into my portfolio. Diversification is key! My set manager helped me spread my investments across different asset classes like stocks, bonds, and real estate so that a positive tax code cha age here can help minimize the impact of aa negative tax code change there adjustments.
I agree. Based on personal experience working with a financial manager, I currently have ($2million) in a well-diversified portfolio that has experienced exponential growth from when i started. It's not only about having money to invest in stocks, but you also need to be knowledgeable, persistent, and have strong hands to back it up.

Bullish or bearish, AI stocks will still dominate 2024, even beyond. Why I prefer NVIDIA is that they are better placed to maintain long-term growth potential, and provide a platform for other AI companies. I know someone who has made more than 200% from NVIDIA. I'll also take these other recommendations you made.
I agree, just because the market presents opportunities doesn't mean we should rush in headfirst. For this reason, we should look for appropriate market analysis or guidance or seek advice from certified market strategists.

Start a single member LLC, create an eBay account or account on another selling platform, sell some used stuff you find at garage sales, thrift stores, or junk you have around the house. Make sure you have a dedicated space in your home…spare bedroom, garage, basement, storage shed; then you can take business deductions for the space used for the business, a portion of your utility bills, milage on your vehicle (used for business purposes), equipment used for the business (computer, tablet, phone, monitors, printers, TV, subscription services for the business, etc…). With all the biz deductions, my biz runs at a loss, which help lower me and my wife’s taxable income.
Yeah, you are spot on. I used the same strategy. But, my CPA told me I could only for it for 3 to 4 years before the IRS starts to audit my business. So I show a small profit.
Yeah, technically after two years of a loss the IRS can deem your “business” a hobby and you can’t claim the losses anymore if you’re audited. Just a heads up
@@TravelingLifeStyleNow You might consider shopping for new CPA however the 8829 handles "rented" vs "owned" far different. BTW: LOL Audits after 3 or 4 years?? Completely laughable. But let me ask: So what?? Unless you are making stuff up? Who cares if you are audited? CPA? Over priced Bad information.
@@idaUnchained "Technically"? Going with this? Gee. Don't let Mitt Romney and his horse business find out. Won't the tax payers intent be more relevant than losses? How long before Twitter is declared a hobby? LOL. Don't listen to me. Likely you are far more knowledge of this vital area of code.
Great ideas!!! Say, in LLC ,where do you take the home office (8829 on Sch C) Actually, if you have a Sch C with 8829, what it the benefit of the LLC? Thanks!
I'm an amateur with a portfolio of 40k but it's hard for me to build confidence. I really want to hit the 100k mark soon. I want to invest another 20k over a one month span, but I want to be strategic about doing it so I can grow more and not stay stagnant. Any stock suggestions?
Not offering any particular advice, but I can assure you that it's not as hard as many people think it is. Ordinary investors lack the requisite level of diligence, so having a financial advisor on board is usually highly beneficial. In the market, this is how people generate enormous profits.
I agree. There's a lot of potential in the market. My friend introduced me to a financial advisor in 2021, and even though I was skeptical, I went on. I finally was making enough monthly dividend to quit my soulless job and pursue my dream to start a restaurant in New Jersey and still earn five figures in monthly dividends.
That's really great. I've tried doing some research myself to hire a financial advisor, but it's really overwhelming. Could you recommend who you work with, please?
The best strategy depends on your financial situation, account types, tax bracket, and investment goals. Consult a financial advisor or tax professional to tailor these strategies for maximum tax efficiency.
Disclosure to this: Contributing the max to IRAs and 401ks are considered tax deductions, but they do not reduce your taxes $ for $. If your tax rate is 12%, then the contributions multiplied by your tax rate are the tax savings. Also, the solo 401k is only an option for self-employed individuals or S Corp owners. W-2 employees outside of an S Corp owner or Self-employed business owner do not get this benefit.
I think that's why people still have a business and pay themselves or put kids on payroll for doing chores in addition to working more tex deductions for business owners
Yep, I have a business and still paying a high amount of taxes, thought a rental property would help this year, since I did not owe any taxes last year. So not sure how long I have to own the rental until it helps with lowering my taxes.
I agree that many people are considering NVDA as the "Stock of the year." However, I'm curious about which stocks could potentially become the next META in terms of growth over the next decade. I've allocated $200k for investment, aiming to retire comfortably.
I think the next big thing will be A.I. For enduring growth akin to META, it's vital to avoid impulsive decisions driven by short-term fluctuations. Prioritize patience and a long-term perspective most importantly consider financial advisory for informed buying and selling decisions.
Through portfolio restructuring and diversification with good ETFs, S&P 500 and growth stocks, I've turned my portfolio around from $200k to over $800k in a few years.

Thanks for your info. I would like to know how would I go about investing in Oil and gas seeing as it would bring in just as much tax return as real estate
Planning ahead can really minimize taxes! I’ve been in the crypto/stock markets for half a year now, and it’s been a game changer. I was able to reinvest my RMD strategically, and I’m now pulling in about $25k a week, despite doing very little trading myself. It’s a nice cushion against financial stress. Best of luck with your RMD decisions!

I think the safest strategy is to diversify investments. Like spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown
Agreed, It's essential to diversify your portfolio. While quality stocks are a solid foundation, you should also consider other assets to spread risk. Thankfully, I can attest to the success of this approach aided by professional guidance seeing my portfolio of $330k grow by 40% this year alone... maybe you should do the same.

It's not simply buying common stock. Rather, you're investing in something like a Master Limited Partnership. Yes, there are some very good tax benefits, but these can also be very tricky investments. When considering an investment, it's best to consider the RETURNS you'll make (or what you may lose) well before you weigh the tax implications. In the case of MLPs, you may lose your shirt, and you won't care whether there was a good tax benefit or not.
I came across your channel through this video-case studies are incredibly valuable, and I'm eager to see more in the future! Building wealth involves establishing routines, like consistently setting aside funds at regular intervals for smart investments.
You're correct. I think the smartest way to go is to spread out your investments. By putting your money into different asset classes like bonds, real estate, and stocks from other countries, you can lower the risk if one part of the market goes bad.

Like the Healthcare Savings Account, the same thing should be offered for paying educational expenses!! (When people receive financial aid, they are not taxed on that $. But when we pay for our kids’ college - we are paying with AFTER-tax $! & that, therefore, represents a lot more $ than merely the outrageous sticker cost of college!) Is there an account like that, which is not commonly spoken of, that is offered/available?!
The example referenced in the video is not related to public stocks, but are instead related private investment opportunities where you can directly invest capital into an oil & gas company.
1. IRA contributions have to be earned income even for a child. So you can't just open up the account and fund it unless you're able to prove the child has earned it (e.g., babysitting, lemonade stand, etc. ) 2. You can't deduct contributions to your child's IRA on your taxes which is why it's recommended to open a Roth IRA since there's no upfront tax advantages to be had for opening up a Traditional IRA.
I understand deferring taxing by utilizing tax deferred accounts. However, I completely disagree with the government telling me/controlling my money until 59.5yrs and then taxing me on it. What if you want to retire at 45 or 50?
I understand this view. Some of the later examples in the video are great alternatives. I always tell my clients to determine their goals first, and then we’ll pick the best ways to package everything to reduce their taxes. With a good plan, you can do both - invest for early retirement (45-60) while putting money aside for a later retirement (60+).
@@mycpacoachI think it is important to revisit your goals frequently. Mine changed and at 50 I wish I had invested more outside of the 401k and Roth. Having nearly 8 figures in my locked up accounts is driving me crazy. I could walk away with the 300k I have in my taxed accounts. I only need 35k per year to travel and not work. I would say balance is the key. If you are disciplined you can retire much sooner than 59.5. Make sure to be wise in your taxed accounts. Taxes will get us all sooner or later. If I could change it I would go back and invest just 5% in a 401k and pile my cash into taxed accounts.
You can take out the contributions from your Roth at any time without tax or penalty. If you do a conversion (like from a 401k) into Roth you pay taxes on the amount converted. And then 5 years later you can start taking out the converted dollars without tax or penalty. (Separate 5 year clock for each conversion.) But overall I am with you. My biggest regret in 2008 was that I had very little in after-tax accounts compared to my tax advantaged accounts. I've since corrected that.
A lot of people are in for a rude surprise when they're 45-55. I moved my money from a retirement account to a taxable account so I can retire before 59.5, instead of being able to retire, but needing to wait until my money isn't held hostage anymore.
Then don't utilize tax deferred accounts. It's supposed to be a benefit for those who retire at retirement age. Not for those who stops working before that.
You mention that the hsa can be used for gym memberships, massages, chiro care, etc. While a gym membership typically cannot be used with an HSA, you may be able to use your HSA for massages and chiropractic care if your doctor provides a letter of medical necessity stating that these services are required for a specific medical condition; always check with your plan details to confirm eligibility. Key points about using an HSA for these services: Gym membership: Generally not eligible unless your doctor prescribes it for a specific medical reason and you have documentation to support it. Massage: Can be eligible if a doctor prescribes it for a medical condition and you have a "letter of medical necessity". Chiropractic care: Can be eligible if it's deemed medically necessary by your doctor
My main complaint is people living paycheck to paycheck cant afford rent and even that money is being taxed. They need to let ppl pay rent and bills before taxing them. Many ppl literally cant afford to invest a damn penny
Friendly reminder the original founders began a revolution over a THREE PERCENT tax…thats why they do everything they can to keep us divided because united we are a threat.
I've worked with people who made 2-3x my income and still lived paycheck to paycheck, but I had enough saved up to go over a year without work and without reducing my spending by the time I was 30. There are people out there who can barely afford to survive, but they aren't nearly as common as people who just won't control themselves.
Awesome video!!! We invested in most of them and you're absolutely right :) I'm wondering if we should downgrade our health insurance to qualify for HSA. We're in our 60's and we want to ensure we have adequate health insurance.
Thank you, Sherman for this clear information. I have finally arrived to a point where I am realizing that there is a way to reduce my tax exposures. I have had a very smart CPA doing my taxes for many years now and not once has he recommended any vehicles to change up my income tax situation. As a matter of fact, he told me that there was nothing that I could do to strategically and legally reduce my taxes. For awhile, I had an ecommerce business, which helped somewhat. The bulk of my income comes to me in the form of interest and principle. I am feeling glimmers of hope of being able to effect a change. I have been in the dark for way too long in my life's journey, but Sherman has entered the picture like a beacon of light!
Great video & helpful. Tax deduction is good. But when buying a home too much deduction enable you to qualify for a mortgage because w2 might be too low to qualify for the home

To my understanding this just proves how much we need an edge as investors because playing the market like everyone else just isn’t good enough. I've been quite unsure about investing in this current market and at the same time I feel it's the best time to get started on the market, what are your thoughts?
Since the crash, I've been in the red. I’m playing the long term game, so I'm not too worried but Jim Cramer mentioned there are still a lot of great opportunities, though stocks has been down a lot. I also heard news of a guy that made $250k from about $110k since the crash and I would really look to know how to go about this.
Thats true, I've been getting assisted by a FA for almost a year now, I started out with less than $200K and I'm just $19,000 short of half a million in profit.
Ignorance is bliss. I knew about 401k and IRA of course, but the rest blew me away. Your video is so informative and straight to the point without the blah,blah,blah. I definitely subscribed and liked. Do you have a to be an investor to invest in Oil and Gas? Do you have video on how to invest in Oil and Gas or drop any links on how to do it? It would be greatly appreciated
Somehow, I feel like a being ripped off in this country. I worked hard in my education to earn more income, and now I feel so disappointed. 50 % of my income goes to the government. it's unfair. No other country does this, only the USA. I don't mind paying taxes, but we overpay taxes. It's like being punished for working hard in this country. Thanks for the advice.
Wow! Amazing! Great information and beautiful delivery of information. SUBSCRIBED! Thank you sir for taking the time to create these videos. God bless.
As an investment enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. I do have a significant amount of capital that is required to start up but I have no idea what strategies and direction I need to approach to help me make over $400k like some people are this season.
I believe the safest approach is to diversify investments especially under professional; guide. You can mitigate the effects of a market meltdown by diversifying their investments across different asset classes such as stocks, etfs etc It is important to seek the advice of an expert.
Review your portfolio with a professional and don't make the same mistakes again. Diversify, as in your stock portfolio, and hopefully consult a professional. The key to building wealth is long term. I learned 30 years ago that you have to keep emotions (rookie) out of your investment decisions at all cost. Now, i've made over 800k in profits from my 350k investment.
'Carol Vivian Constable is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
Unrelated question if I may: Is it wise to increase your ss tax withholdings as much as possible during your working years, to get a bigger social security check when retiring?
At 4:49 - this sounds like a special case where one could max $69K SEP-IRA plus $7K traditional IRA for $77k tax deferred. Your Modified AGI would have to be below $73K (or $116K if married) since you're covered by a retirement plan at work.
Traditional IRA has income limits though. Like if you make over a certain amount you cant deduct traditional IRA contributions (77k+income) if you also have a 401k at work
Are you sure about that? Just read this on Fidelity. “No income limits: As long as you're working, you can keep contributing to a traditional IRA, as well as your 401(k).” Source: www.fidelity.com/retirement-ira/traditional-ira#:~:text=No%20income%20limits%3A%20As%20long,as%20your%20401(k).
@@mycpacoach so its perfectly ok to contribute, its the deductibility that may be impacted. www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/ira-deduction-limits. Contributing to it could be the beginning of a backdoor Roth IRA though! Let the gains begin
@@mycpacoach I had the same thought as @the_investor9836 when watching the video... Based on the IRS rules I've read (and a disclaimer on that fidelity link you posted), there isn't a rule preventing you from contributing to a Traditional IRA, however, the amount you're able to deduct is based on your AGI. For example, if you are married filing jointly and AGI is over $136k you can't deduct any contribution. disclaimer text from the fidelity link you posted: "For a traditional IRA, full deductibility of a 2023 contribution is available to covered individuals whose 2023 Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) is $116,000 or less (joint) and $73,000 or less (single); partial deductibility for MAGI up to $136,000 (joint) and $83,000 (single). In addition, full deductibility of a contribution is available for non-covered individuals whose spouse is covered by an employer sponsored plan for joint filers with a MAGI of $218,000 or less in 2023; and partial deductibility for MAGI up to $228,000. If neither you nor your spouse (if any) is a participant in a workplace plan, then your traditional IRA contribution is always tax deductible, regardless of your income."
@@mycpacoach INCOME REQUIREMENTS None. Anyone 18 or older with earned income can contribute to a traditional IRA. However, for contributions to be tax-deductible, specific income limits apply: For a traditional IRA, full deductibility of a 2023 contribution is available to covered individuals whose 2023 Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) is $116,000 or less (joint) and $73,000 or less (single); partial deductibility for MAGI up to $136,000 (joint) and $83,000 (single). In addition, full deductibility of a contribution is available for non-covered individuals whose spouse is covered by an employer sponsored plan for joint filers with a MAGI of $218,000 or less in 2023; and partial deductibility for MAGI up to $228,000. If neither you nor your spouse (if any) is a participant in a workplace plan, then your traditional IRA contribution is always tax deductible, regardless of your income.
@@mycpacoach Yes, if you or your spouse have a qualified retirement plan from your employer (i.e. 401k) then depending on your adjusted gross income, you may only be able to take a partial deduction or no deduction see: www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/ira-deduction-limits As far as I can tell, if you are a high income household and you get a 401(k) from work, there doesn't seem to be a reason not to do a backdoor roth ira, as you get no deduction benefit for the traditional IRA. I think your Fidelity link refers more to the fact that you can technically contribute to a traditional ira, doesnt say anything about being able to get deductions at all levels of income.
A Roth IRA will allow your investments to grow tax-free, which can be very beneficial. It does not, however, provide you with a tax deduction upon making your contribution. More info: ruclips.net/video/sr1FkwhczIQ/видео.html&pp=ygUfMTAgdGF4IGZyZWUgaW52ZXN0bWVudHMgc2hlcm1hbg%3D%3D
This is a fantastic video. I didnt get the part of Oil and gas investment, can I invest in Oil and Gas stocks and get the benefit and how do I report this ??
Correct. Tax savings are generally created as a result of different tax brackets. People who save the most money use these accounts in higher earning years (higher taxes) and withdraw during low earning years (lower taxes).
So HSA is pre-taxed income that can be invested and used for health expenses, but does the amount you put into an HSA account reduce your taxable income for that year as well?
@@mycpacoach good to know. In terms of investing in gas and oil companies, what would be the easiest way to go about that? Including it in a stock profile?
I've traded in stock, and even gotten a nice little return on a put option. I'm not so familiar with the oil and gas route, and I feel like real estate would just be too risky for me. I'd like to know more about the oil and gas options though. Especially if there isn't the red tape that real estate has. I just don't feel safe getting into real estate without adequate knowledge about it.
Thanks for the information!! But man... You really got my hopes up about paying for my gym membership through my HSA.. I was pretty sure I had already seen that I couldn't, but I definitely just checked again. 😅
I've heard that index funds and ETFs provide diversified stock market exposure while spreading risk. I have over $800K in savings; What's the most effective strategy to allocate funds in my portfolio and generate profits?
Yes, there are strategies that could be put in place for solid gains regardless of economy situation, but such execution is usually carried out by an investment specialist
Right, a lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their emotions, no offense. I remember some years back, during the covid-outbreak, I needed a good boost to stay afloat, hence researched for advisors and thankfully came across one with grit. As of today, my cash reserve has yielded from $350k to nearly $1m
That's quite incredible! My p0rtfolio has been performing poorly and i've lost a significant amount of money, therefore I could really use their advice. Who is the advisor?
I just googled her and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get. I just scheduled a caII.
Hi, I need more clarity on the oil and gas investment…, does it mean starting an oil and gas company or looking for oil companies that have gone public and invest in?
I’m looking for ways to use business income NOW not in retirement. How can I reduce my agi enough to pay NO taxes without putting all my profits into accounts I may never live long enough to see??
I already own oil companies stocks. How to make an investments into oil and gas companies? Can you please briefly tell me unless you have a video that you can share me a link. Thanks in advance.
To start each person with a Trad IRA has to earn W-2 income equal to or more than what is invested, so in the case of children they have to earn taxable wages. A spouse that does not earn w-2 income because they carry the domestic labor is also ineligible.
The pyramid system you have spend more money to get those deduction that equals time , time is money at a lost,, it's a a dog chasing its money ,, I mean tail ,, inflation that stays year after year on real state, depreciation, living live in a fast lane ,, oil& gas, then you , parts maintenance repair , how much your getting back without fraud,,

I've lived in America and Canada. Paid about the same in taxes but get way more for my taxes in Canada. Most Americans hate the government (hate giving them their money even more) because they've never experienced good governance.
I honestly think America needs a completely restructure of their political system thankfully trump is back. It is just not working. Trump and Biden being elected out of 300 million people to run the country is evidence for that too.
This is why the US should elect more progressive politicians, who know how to manage budgets and give us (yes, pur country's initials literally spell out that pronoun) much better tax credits in return for better public education and better public healthcare. but since these are nonexistent, my husband and I are being guided to finance our retirement and healthcare through a diversified investment portfolioportfolio
Your manager must be really good. How I can get in touch? My retirement portfolio's decline is a concern, and I could use some guidance.

Increasing tax rates are the reason I rolled over my 401k to a Roth. I don’t want to be 59 paying taxes on current income on withdrawals made from my retirement account. I'm now seeking best possible areas or ways to gain wealth in today's economy.
Pre-tax contributions may help reduce income taxes in your pre-retirement years while after-tax contributions may help reduce your income tax burden during retirement.
Both have their perks but you can also save for retirement outside of a retirement plan, such as in an individual investment account or employing the services of a retirement planner/investment advisor.
Private investing is the best way to go about the market right now, especially for near retirees, I've been in touch with a wealth manager, netted 370K the last downturn, made it clear there's more to the markets than we average joes know.
Would you mind telling me how to contact this specific coach using their service? Unlike the rest of us, it appears you have figured everything out.

Tax laws can be so complex, and it’s super helpful to break them down like this. Understanding how different policies can impact our finances is crucial for making informed decisions.
Making profitable investments during this time of political change can be risky without that insight. For me, working with an adviser is the best first step to navigate these complexities and make informed choices.
I think having an investment advisor is the way to go. I've been with one because I lack the expertise for the market. I made over $490K during the recent dip, highlighting that there's more to the market than we average folks know.

Anyone got a better head start for a noob investor trying not to trip out the gate?"
"Congrats on the $123k! That’s no small feat. But let me play devil’s advocate here: tax-saving investments are great, but they’re not the whole picture. You might miss some big wins if you only focus there. I’d suggest sitting down with a pro-I did that a few years back, and it was a game changer. A financial advisor might save you from being penny-wise and pound-foolish."

On the contrary, even if you’re not skilled, it is still possible to hire one. I am a project manager and my personal port-folio of approximately $750k took a big hit in April due to the crash. I quickly got in touch with a financial-planner that devised a defensive strategy to protect and profit from my port-folio this red season. I’ve made over $350k since then
That does make a lot of sense, unlike us, you seem to have the Market figured out. Who is this financial planner?
‘Grace Adams Cook’ is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name, you’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
Thank you for sharing, I must say, She appears to be quite knowledgeable. After coming across her web page, I went through her resume and it was quite impressive.
One thing about traditional IRA and 401K. All the earnings are also taxed when you withdraw. ROTH 401k and IRA (backdoor if you have to) is all tax free when you withdraw. Your contributions have already been taxed. This is a huge benefit because if you contribute 100k and it becomes 1 million over 20 years. Traditional=taxed on 1 million. Roth=taxed on the 100k. The 1 million withdraw is tax free. Essentially 900k tax free.
I am impressed with your update with these strategies, I am looking for tax efficient way to rebalance my 800k retirement portfolio without triggering capital gain tax. what asset location strategies should i use?
The best strategy depends on your financial situation, account types, tax bracket, and investment goals. Consult a financial advisor or tax professional to tailor these strategies for maximum tax efficiency.
My advisor helped me rebalance my $2m portfolio without triggering capital gains taxes by using tax-advantaged accounts and reallocating dividends and new contributions. They also recommended tax-loss harvesting and strategies to stay within my tax bracket. Thanks to their guidance, I maintained my desired asset allocation while minimizing taxes.
I'm worried about my retirement portfolio and could use some guidance. How can I get in touch with your advisor?
I work with the popular *Marissa Lynn Babula* , Who happens to be a is a hot topic among financial elitist in NY. Especially for her works during Covid. All the information you need to set up an appointment is on her web page.
Wow!! her track record looks really good from what I found online.i just filled the form and scheduled for a call. Thanks to you
What sets top investors apart from the rest? I've got $385K in equity from a home sale and I'm unsure whether to put it into stocks or wait for a more favorable market condition.
You're correct. I think the smartest way to go is to spread out your investments. By putting your money into different asset classes like bonds, real estate, and stocks from other countries, you can lower the risk if one part of the market goes bad.
Several individuals minimize the importance of counsel until their own feelings become overwhelming. A few summers ago, following a protracted divorce, I needed a significant push to keep my firm afloat. I looked for licensed advisors and found someone with the highest qualifications. She has contributed to my reserve increasing from $235k to $690k despite inflation.

From all the things you suggest ON!Y a small business will truly provide a tax deduction, everything else is a tax deferral and still removes the dollars from your pocket while at the same time both IRAs and 401K are very expensive and complicated to setup and maintain. At the end of the day you have less money in your pocket and your money depends on market forces and health. If the market does bad your money won’t grow much. Start a side business and make sure it makes money by year 5 or it’s considered a hobby and the IRS won’t recognize your expenses. Then start another business. Run legit expenses like car, business equipment, aircraft, heavy machinery through there and they are mostly deductible. Your phone, printing, 50% of meals. Just make sure you keep good records and don’t overdo it and the IRS won’t ring your doorbell.
Because ROTH IRAs are tax-free, you'll be able to keep more of the money you've worked so hard to earn.I want to invest more than $300k, but I'm not sure how to go.
Holding fixed-income assets in tax-deferred retirement funds as opposed to taxable accounts has additional advantages. If you don't know how to invest in the market, get some advice from a financial counselor.
Having an investment advisor is the best way to go about the stock market right now. I was going solo, but it wasn't working. I’ve been in touch with an advisor for a while now, and just last year, I made over 80% capital growth minus dividends.

The rising interest rate can surely control inflation, but won't prevent erosion of the eroding purchasing power of the US dollar. I have learnt my lesson this time. The banks can't be making money off my money, while inflation eats into it. I have set aside 650k to invest in the stock market now, since that keeps up with inflation, but I don't know how to get started.
Find quality stocks that have long term potential, and ride with those stocks. I have found it takes someone who is very familiar with the market to make such good picks.
How can one find a verifiable financial planner? I would not mind looking up the professional that helped you. I will be retiring in two years and I might need some management on my much larger portfolio. Don't want to take any chances.

SEP IRA are for poor people lol
So folks should not allow themselves to get overwhelmed by these types of investments, which is a common mistake people make, and so they never really get started on a plan that will eventually include some of these instruments that he’s talking about here in the video.
So I’ve seen many people at my agency where I retired from get overwhelmed with what they should do with their money, and how should they plan for retirement, and unfortunately, the agency in the beginning, after we had a change from the old civil service, retirement, system (CSRS) to the new federal employees retirement system (FERS) didn’t do a good job of explaining the new system, so a lot of employees just gave up, and they left an awful lot of money on the table, and I’m talking billions of dollars simply left on the table, because the people did not understand how these plans actually worked.
So the first thing to do is educate yourself, and to realize you don’t have to make every decision at once, and a good plan includes your spouse too, as you will be surprised, particularly men, and those who have gone through divorces or simply separated without getting a divorce can complicate their retirement picture, and the essential important things that should have been discussed way back when either didn’t get discussed or the adjust being discussed at the endgame which is way too late, but you’re going to have to discuss them at some point if you have a spouse or a significant other.
So don’t do this alone, unless you have to, as obviously if you don’t have a spouse, then that’s a different story, but either way get started educating yourself and start to think about using a certified financial planner to help you develop your plan, as no one is going to do it for you, and so it’s really gonna be up to you, and a good way to get started is by asking yourself, questions about what is it that you want to achieve in your life, and how much is it gonna cost, because money is a big part of that answer, and in particular when you are nearing retirement, and based on those answers, and on your particular circumstances, you need to consider how long will you live beyond the age of retirement, which is starting at age 55, and sadly, most people, are not prepared to retire or to even answer that question, and so they’re simply not prepared to retire, because they know they don’t have enough money to do so, and so the vast majority of people who are eligible to retire, simply don’t, and so they will continue to work after retirement which is exactly what happens with most people.
So are you going to, retire, meaning, are you going to retire permanently when you leave your current job or are you just going to go out and get another job?
So that’s the question you need to answer, because if you want to retire permanently, meaning I’m not going to go out and look for another job, and I am not going to work for anyone ever again, and so the money question is very important here, because the question becomes will you have the money to be able to live out that dream life that you always wanted, because if your answer is no, then don’t you think you need to get started immediately putting away as much money as you can in one of these tax saving vehicles, and just as important understanding how to maximize your return on your investments, is the other part of that equation, and that has to do with your level of risk tolerance, because a lot of people simply can’t handle losses.
So for those people, putting money into the stock market isn’t going to work for them, and what I have said, and I practiced this, is number 1) never invest in things you don’t understand, number 2) never invest in things that keep you up at night, because why would you wanna do that? Isn’t getting a good nights sleep, just just as important as making sure you have good nutrition, and you’re practicing distressing techniques, and getting in enough exercise, and taking care of your health, because if your health is a question now, what do you think it’s going to be when you retire?
So a plan that contains more traditional investments, like fixed, income investments, we’re talking bonds, certain types of real estate investments,, utilities, etc. maybe the way for you, particularly in the beginning, and until you gain confidence that you can handle the ups, and downs, the choppiness, and the frothiness of what investing in the stock market normally entails, but whatever the mix-and-match of your investments, you happen to choose, get started by first educating yourself, and get started with a plan to achieve your long-term goal of retiring with the type of income security that will assure you that you can retire and be able to finance your lifestyle without having to depend on outside employment. Cheers 🥂
God bless you for this.
convinced that investing $50k-100k in the right company before it goes big is better than just saving for retirement. But since picking the right company is hard, saving might be safer-who would’ve guessed SPGI? I have $200k in a HYSA and want to invest. What are the best opportunities now?
investors like you should be cautious of the bull run, its best you connect with a well-qualified adviser to meet your growth goals and avoid blunder.
I agree with you. As an early investor in NVDA, AVGO, ANSS, and LRCX, my financial advisor's advice was incredibly helpful. Over the past 7 years, she has helped me find stocks that did 10x multiple times. With her help, I've grown my portfolio to over a million dollars.

These frequent tax code changes are disrupting my long-term investment strategies. Are there ways to structure my investments to be more resilient to potential tax code modifications?

I agree. Based on personal experience working with a financial manager, I currently have ($2million) in a well-diversified portfolio that has experienced exponential growth from when i started.

Bullish or bearish, AI stocks will still dominate 2024, even beyond.

Start a single member LLC, create an eBay account or account on another selling platform, sell some used stuff you find at garage sales, thrift stores, or junk you have around the house. Make sure you have a dedicated space in your home…spare bedroom, garage, basement, storage shed; then you can take business deductions for the space used for the business, a portion of your utility bills, milage on your vehicle (used for business purposes), equipment used for the business (computer, tablet, phone, monitors, printers, TV, subscription services for the business, etc…). With all the biz deductions, my biz runs at a loss, which help lower me and my wife’s taxable income.
Yeah, you are spot on. I used the same strategy. But, my CPA told me I could only for it for 3 to 4 years before the IRS starts to audit my business. So I show a small profit.
Yeah, technically after two years of a loss the IRS can deem your “business” a hobby and you can’t claim the losses anymore if you’re audited. Just a heads up
@@TravelingLifeStyleNow You might consider shopping for new CPA however the 8829 handles "rented" vs "owned" far different. BTW: LOL Audits after 3 or 4 years?? Completely laughable. But let me ask: So what?? Unless you are making stuff up? Who cares if you are audited? CPA? Over priced Bad information.

I'm an amateur with a portfolio of 40k but it's hard for me to build confidence. I really want to hit the 100k mark soon. I want to invest another 20k over a one month span, but I want to be strategic about doing it so I can grow more and not stay stagnant. Any stock suggestions?
Not offering any particular advice, but I can assure you that it's not as hard as many people think it is. Ordinary investors lack the requisite level of diligence, so having a financial advisor on board is usually highly beneficial. In the market, this is how people generate enormous profits.
I agree. There's a lot of potential in the market. My friend introduced me to a financial advisor in 2021, and even though I was skeptical, I went on. I finally was making enough monthly dividend to quit my soulless job and pursue my dream to start a restaurant in New Jersey and still earn five figures in monthly dividends.
That's really great. I've tried doing some research myself to hire a financial advisor, but it's really overwhelming. Could you recommend who you work with, please?
Melissa Elise Robinson is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’ll find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.
Thanks a lot for this recommendation. I'll send her an email and I hope I'm able to connect with her.
I am looking for tax efficient way to rebalance my $800k portfolio without triggering capital gains tax. what asset location strategies should i use?
The best strategy depends on your financial situation, account types, tax bracket, and investment goals. Consult a financial advisor or tax professional to tailor these strategies for maximum tax efficiency.
Hey friend, can I work with your Fiduciary?
Disclosure to this: Contributing the max to IRAs and 401ks are considered tax deductions, but they do not reduce your taxes $ for $. If your tax rate is 12%, then the contributions multiplied by your tax rate are the tax savings. Also, the solo 401k is only an option for self-employed individuals or S Corp owners. W-2 employees outside of an S Corp owner or Self-employed business owner do not get this benefit.
I think that's why people still have a business and pay themselves or put kids on payroll for doing chores in addition to working more tex deductions for business owners
Yep, I have a business and still paying a high amount of taxes, thought a rental property would help this year, since I did not owe any taxes last year. So not sure how long I have to own the rental until it helps with lowering my taxes.
Can’t believe this is free info. Thanks for sharing! Absolutely amazed at how a bit of knowledge can change your financial situation so much.
I agree that many people are considering NVDA as the "Stock of the year." However, I'm curious about which stocks could potentially become the next META in terms of growth over the next decade. I've allocated $200k for investment, aiming to retire comfortably.
I think the next big thing will be A.I. For enduring growth akin to META, it's vital to avoid impulsive decisions driven by short-term fluctuations. Prioritize patience and a long-term perspective most importantly consider financial advisory for informed buying and selling decisions.
Through portfolio restructuring and diversification with good ETFs, S&P 500 and growth stocks, I've turned my portfolio around from $200k to over $800k in a few years.
Glad to have stumbled on this conversation. Please can you leave the info of your investment advisor here? I'm in dire need for one.

Planning ahead can really minimize taxes! I’ve been in the crypto/stock markets for half a year now, and it’s been a game changer. I was able to reinvest my RMD strategically, and I’m now pulling in about $25k a week, despite doing very little trading myself. It’s a nice cushion against financial stress. Best of luck with your RMD decisions!

I think the safest strategy is to diversify investments. Like spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown
Agreed, It's essential to diversify your portfolio. While quality stocks are a solid foundation, you should also consider other assets to spread risk. Thankfully, I can attest to the success of this approach aided by professional guidance seeing my portfolio of $330k grow by 40% this year alone... maybe you should do the same.

When investing in an oil or gas company does one just buy common stock on an exchange or are there more specific requirements?
It's not simply buying common stock. Rather, you're investing in something like a Master Limited Partnership. Yes, there are some very good tax benefits, but these can also be very tricky investments. When considering an investment, it's best to consider the RETURNS you'll make (or what you may lose) well before you weigh the tax implications. In the case of MLPs, you may lose your shirt, and you won't care whether there was a good tax benefit or not.
@@ezmaassvery good info here thank you
I came across your channel through this video-case studies are incredibly valuable, and I'm eager to see more in the future! Building wealth involves establishing routines, like consistently setting aside funds at regular intervals for smart investments.
You're correct. I think the smartest way to go is to spread out your investments. By putting your money into different asset classes like bonds, real estate, and stocks from other countries, you can lower the risk if one part of the market goes bad.
That sounds like a good plan. In the past two years, working closely with a financial market specialist, I've built a six-figure diversified stock portfolio. Now, I aim to diversify even more this year.

1. IRA contributions have to be earned income even for a child. So you can't just open up the account and fund it unless you're able to prove the child has earned it (e.g., babysitting, lemonade stand, etc. )
2. You can't deduct contributions to your child's IRA on your taxes which is why it's recommended to open a Roth IRA since there's no upfront tax advantages to be had for opening up a Traditional IRA.

Are there similar tax advantages to investing in Electric/Solar/Green instead of Oil & Gas?
I understand deferring taxing by utilizing tax deferred accounts. However, I completely disagree with the government telling me/controlling my money until 59.5yrs and then taxing me on it. What if you want to retire at 45 or 50?
I understand this view. Some of the later examples in the video are great alternatives. I always tell my clients to determine their goals first, and then we’ll pick the best ways to package everything to reduce their taxes. With a good plan, you can do both - invest for early retirement (45-60) while putting money aside for a later retirement (60+).
@@mycpacoachI think it is important to revisit your goals frequently. Mine changed and at 50 I wish I had invested more outside of the 401k and Roth. Having nearly 8 figures in my locked up accounts is driving me crazy. I could walk away with the 300k I have in my taxed accounts. I only need 35k per year to travel and not work.
I would say balance is the key. If you are disciplined you can retire much sooner than 59.5. Make sure to be wise in your taxed accounts. Taxes will get us all sooner or later. If I could change it I would go back and invest just 5% in a 401k and pile my cash into taxed accounts.
You can take out the contributions from your Roth at any time without tax or penalty. If you do a conversion (like from a 401k) into Roth you pay taxes on the amount converted. And then 5 years later you can start taking out the converted dollars without tax or penalty. (Separate 5 year clock for each conversion.)
But overall I am with you. My biggest regret in 2008 was that I had very little in after-tax accounts compared to my tax advantaged accounts. I've since corrected that.
A lot of people are in for a rude surprise when they're 45-55. I moved my money from a retirement account to a taxable account so I can retire before 59.5, instead of being able to retire, but needing to wait until my money isn't held hostage anymore.
Then don't utilize tax deferred accounts. It's supposed to be a benefit for those who retire at retirement age. Not for those who stops working before that.
Great content. You have a great ability to make complex concepts in an intuitive style.

@@mycpacoach hello does cooking oil count ? What about cosmetic oils ?
How do you invest in an oil and gas company? Is it as simple as investing in their stocks or are their special accounts to set up?
You mention that the hsa can be used for gym memberships, massages, chiro care, etc. While a gym membership typically cannot be used with an HSA, you may be able to use your HSA for massages and chiropractic care if your doctor provides a letter of medical necessity stating that these services are required for a specific medical condition; always check with your plan details to confirm eligibility.
Key points about using an HSA for these services:
Gym membership: Generally not eligible unless your doctor prescribes it for a specific medical reason and you have documentation to support it.
Massage: Can be eligible if a doctor prescribes it for a medical condition and you have a "letter of medical necessity".
Chiropractic care: Can be eligible if it's deemed medically necessary by your doctor
My main complaint is people living paycheck to paycheck cant afford rent and even that money is being taxed. They need to let ppl pay rent and bills before taxing them. Many ppl literally cant afford to invest a damn penny
Friendly reminder the original founders began a revolution over a THREE PERCENT tax…thats why they do everything they can to keep us divided because united we are a threat.
I've worked with people who made 2-3x my income and still lived paycheck to paycheck, but I had enough saved up to go over a year without work and without reducing my spending by the time I was 30. There are people out there who can barely afford to survive, but they aren't nearly as common as people who just won't control themselves.

Thanks bro 🙏🏽

Awesome video!!! We invested in most of them and you're absolutely right :) I'm wondering if we should downgrade our health insurance to qualify for HSA. We're in our 60's and we want to ensure we have adequate health insurance.
can you explain more on small business, how to save taxes and build the business
Thank you, Sherman for this clear information. I have finally arrived to a point where I am realizing that there is a way to reduce my tax exposures. I have had a very smart CPA doing my taxes for many years now and not once has he recommended any vehicles to change up my income tax situation. As a matter of fact, he told me that there was nothing that I could do to strategically and legally reduce my taxes. For awhile, I had an ecommerce business, which helped somewhat. The bulk of my income comes to me in the form of interest and principle. I am feeling glimmers of hope of being able to effect a change. I have been in the dark for way too long in my life's journey, but Sherman has entered the picture like a beacon of light!

To my understanding this just proves how much we need an edge as investors because playing the market like everyone else just isn’t good enough. I've been quite unsure about investing in this current market and at the same time I feel it's the best time to get started on the market, what are your thoughts?
Since the crash, I've been in the red. I’m playing the long term game, so I'm not too worried but Jim Cramer mentioned there are still a lot of great opportunities, though stocks has been down a lot. I also heard news of a guy that made $250k from about $110k since the crash and I would really look to know how to go about this.
There are actually a lot of ways to make high yields in a crisis, but such trades are best done under the supervision of Financial advisor.
Thats true, I've been getting assisted by a FA for almost a year now, I started out with less than $200K and I'm just $19,000 short of half a million in profit.

Oil and gas investment deduction mean buying shares of some stock and its returns are entered on taxes?
0:38 how do you get 23.7m of 125m is .1% or any of those figures on the right
As an investment enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. I do have a significant amount of capital that is required to start up but I have no idea what strategies and direction I need to approach to help me make over $400k like some people are this season.
I believe the safest approach is to diversify investments especially under professional; guide. You can mitigate the effects of a market meltdown by diversifying their investments across different asset classes such as stocks, etfs etc It is important to seek the advice of an expert.
Review your portfolio with a professional and don't make the same mistakes again. Diversify, as in your stock portfolio, and hopefully consult a professional. The key to building wealth is long term. I learned 30 years ago that you have to keep emotions (rookie) out of your investment decisions at all cost. Now, i've made over 800k in profits from my 350k investment.

Unrelated question if I may: Is it wise to increase your ss tax withholdings as much as possible during your working years, to get a bigger social security check when retiring?
At 4:49 - this sounds like a special case where one could max $69K SEP-IRA plus $7K traditional IRA for $77k tax deferred. Your Modified AGI would have to be below $73K (or $116K if married) since you're covered by a retirement plan at work.
Isn’t this $76K?
Traditional IRA has income limits though. Like if you make over a certain amount you cant deduct traditional IRA contributions (77k+income) if you also have a 401k at work
Are you sure about that? Just read this on Fidelity. “No income limits: As long as you're working, you can keep contributing to a traditional IRA, as well as your 401(k).” Source: www.fidelity.com/retirement-ira/traditional-ira#:~:text=No%20income%20limits%3A%20As%20long,as%20your%20401(k).
@@mycpacoach so its perfectly ok to contribute, its the deductibility that may be impacted. www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/ira-deduction-limits. Contributing to it could be the beginning of a backdoor Roth IRA though! Let the gains begin
@@mycpacoach I had the same thought as @the_investor9836 when watching the video... Based on the IRS rules I've read (and a disclaimer on that fidelity link you posted), there isn't a rule preventing you from contributing to a Traditional IRA, however, the amount you're able to deduct is based on your AGI. For example, if you are married filing jointly and AGI is over $136k you can't deduct any contribution.
disclaimer text from the fidelity link you posted:
"For a traditional IRA, full deductibility of a 2023 contribution is available to covered individuals whose 2023 Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) is $116,000 or less (joint) and $73,000 or less (single); partial deductibility for MAGI up to $136,000 (joint) and $83,000 (single). In addition, full deductibility of a contribution is available for non-covered individuals whose spouse is covered by an employer sponsored plan for joint filers with a MAGI of $218,000 or less in 2023; and partial deductibility for MAGI up to $228,000. If neither you nor your spouse (if any) is a participant in a workplace plan, then your traditional IRA contribution is always tax deductible, regardless of your income."
@@mycpacoach
INCOME REQUIREMENTS
None. Anyone 18 or older with earned income can contribute to a traditional IRA. However, for contributions to be tax-deductible, specific income limits apply:
For a traditional IRA, full deductibility of a 2023 contribution is available to covered individuals whose 2023 Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) is $116,000 or less (joint) and $73,000 or less (single); partial deductibility for MAGI up to $136,000 (joint) and $83,000 (single).

If neither you nor your spouse (if any) is a participant in a workplace plan, then your traditional IRA contribution is always tax deductible, regardless of your income.
@@mycpacoach Yes, if you or your spouse have a qualified retirement plan from your employer (i.e. 401k) then depending on your adjusted gross income, you may only be able to take a partial deduction or no deduction see: www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/ira-deduction-limits
As far as I can tell, if you are a high income household and you get a 401(k) from work, there doesn't seem to be a reason not to do a backdoor roth ira, as you get no deduction benefit for the traditional IRA. I think your Fidelity link refers more to the fact that you can technically contribute to a traditional ira, doesnt say anything about being able to get deductions at all levels of income.
Would a Roth IRA also help with taxes? Or it is just the traditional IRA?
A Roth IRA will allow your investments to grow tax-free, which can be very beneficial. It does not, however, provide you with a tax deduction upon making your contribution. More info: ruclips.net/video/sr1FkwhczIQ/видео.html&pp=ygUfMTAgdGF4IGZyZWUgaW52ZXN0bWVudHMgc2hlcm1hbg%3D%3D

Correct. Tax savings are generally created as a result of different tax brackets. People who save the most money use these accounts in higher earning years (higher taxes) and withdraw during low earning years (lower taxes).
