Such a great, concise video. Easy to understand, but not as easy to swallow. It would be easier to follow if you could include more bullet points along with your verbal explanation for reinforcement and to keep the listener engaged. Again, Loved the info!

Guys you are answering the easy question. We need to reduce our tax on the little income that raised and will obstacle our kids from taking full scholarship … and this income is needed, not extra to throw it away in a retire plan

What type of life insurance do I need to get? Do I also need health insurance? If I buy a school, will my taxes be lowered? For charity...what if I make my own charity or buy stuff from a thrift store and "donate" it within a month or two...would that count?

Amazing video! I really want a HSA but my employer doesn't offer one. Is there a way to get one as a private person?

Hi, in regards to the tax-deffered annuity, is this also ideal for a small business owner that wants to reduce taxes? I'm interested in learning more, Thank you.

Thank you very much for your help, I’m self employed driving for Lyft and Uber . I don’t have any collateral or assets beside my car and my furniture… when I received the invitation for the loan increase ; I did apply and received the increase and this is the second time I’m receiving the increase, after the original loan from last year . When I opened my loan account portfolio today : I found the blue box, sending me an invitation asking me for the increase up to $198K . My question please; can I get the whole amount even though I don’t have any collateral ? God bless

This content is exceptionally well-done. A kindred book was a transformative read for me. "Mastering Money Mindfulness" by Benjamin Hawk

I am sorry but your analysis on MF taxes is completely wrong. One doesnt pay any taxes on Mutual Fund units until the units are sold! It doesnt matter what the fund manager is doing behind the scenes to generate returns on the fund.

High income earners don’t need to be talked to like newbie’s.
