INSIGHT

Wealth Misconception and Debt Reality

  • Many people equate having expensive things to being rich, but heavy debt burdens say otherwise.
  • True wealth comes from controlling expenses and understanding retirement savings, not just income or possessions.
ADVICE

Tax Reduction Via IRAs and HSAs

  • Use traditional IRA and HSA contributions to reduce taxable income if you want.
  • Max out Roth IRA instead if you prefer known tax-free gains at retirement and unknown future tax rates.
ADVICE

Lower Taxes With Business and Rentals

  • Starting an LLC or side business can offer tax deductions to lower taxable income.
  • Real estate investments like short-term rentals can also provide depreciation benefits to reduce taxes.
