Paul Lajoie started as a CPA, spent years in corporate finance, then left the W-2 world after buying his first flooring business with his brother. That first acquisition replaced both his and his wife's income, but he learned hard lessons around working capital, cash flow timing, and not overanalyzing every deal. Across 15 acquisitions, his biggest lessons were to remove emotion and ego, avoid buying what you don't fully understand, live frugally to fund the next deal, and seek help from people who have done it before.

Topics covered:A field report from week one of Crossroads Publishing Group—what's coming in the door, what's surprising, what's confirming.What a hybrid press actually is. A working definition: a publisher where the author shares the financial risk via a fee (broadly $5K to $45K, depending on the engagement), in exchange for real editorial work, professional production, distribution under the press's imprint, and a higher royalty share than traditional contracts.Why the vanity-press confusion exists, and why it's no longer accurate to the category as it stands in 2026.The IBPA Hybrid Publisher Pledge—the trade-association standard the legitimate hybrid presses meet (and the vanity operations don't).Three case studies of serious hybrid presses: She Writes Press (founded by Brooke Warner, 2012; 500+ titles; Industry Innovator Award from the Book Industry Study Group in 2017; Warner is chair of the IBPA) Greenleaf Book Group (Austin; operating since 2003; 1,500+ titles; multiple New York Times bestsellers) Lucid Books (Texas Christian hybrid; 5,000 authors in 20 years of operation)Three structural reasons the hybrid category is growing while the Big Five contracts: * The agent and Big Five pipeline is capped (≈1,000 active US agents, 3-5 new clients each per year) * Platform requirements at traditional imprints have become unworkable for serious working writers * The math of a hybrid contract is often better for the author: The traditional advance reality in 2026: $5K-$25K for non-celebrity nonfiction, declining year over year, with the author doing the marketing anyway, on a 10-15% royalty, with the publisher owning the ISBN.Why this matters for The Difficulty‘s actual listeners — coaches, therapists, consultants, pastors, mission-driven leaders, retired executives in second and third acts, working professionals in midlife transition.Five questions to ask any hybrid press before you give them a dollar:One — Are they IBPA pledged? If not, why not? Two — What is the author royalty split, in a specific number, with accounting schedule? Three — What editorial work is actually included in the price — developmental, line, copy, proofreading; at what stage; how many rounds? Four — Where does your book actually go after publication? Real distribution (Ingram, Amazon, Bookshop.org, library channels like Baker & Taylor and OverDrive) or just a SKU on a website? Five — What is the editorial selection rate? A serious hybrid press turns books down.About Crossroads Publishing Group:Crossroads is a hybrid press for practitioner authors—coaches, therapists, consultants, mission-driven leaders, and working professionals with a serious book and a body of insight. Three main category lanes on the site. 80% net royalties to the author. IBPA-pledged criteria built into the model.Inquiry door: crossroadspublishing.groupCall to action:If you're a practitioner author with a serious book and the hybrid path sounds like it could be yours, visit crossroadspublishing.group to start the conversation.

What happens when a former professional triathlete and endurance coach suddenly develops a painful plantar plate sprain? In this episode of the Doc On The Run Podcast, Dr. Christopher Segler speaks with Marcus, a former professional triathlete and current triathlon coach from Brazil, during a real running injury strategy call focused on plantar plate injuries in runners and triathletes. Marcus had to cancel an upcoming 45K trail race after developing sudden pain under the ball of the foot consistent with a plantar plate sprain. During the call, they discuss how plantar plate injuries develop, why bunions and shoe selection can increase stress on the plantar plate ligament, and how endurance athletes can protect the injured ligament while maintaining fitness. They also discuss: • Why MRIs often fail to tell the whole story with plantar plate tears • Whether carbon-plated running shoes can reduce plantar plate strain • How to maintain fitness without worsening the injury • Why boots alone are often not enough • The biggest mistakes runners make during plantar plate recovery • How shoe construction can affect forefoot stress • Why triathletes are uniquely vulnerable to forefoot overload injuries If you're a runner or triathlete struggling with forefoot pain, second toe pain, a plantar plate tear, or a plantar plate sprain, this episode will help you better understand the injury and what actually matters during recovery.
Chris Gavre breaks down how to buy vacant land and flip brand new mobile homes for $40K per deal using FHA financing and a repeatable 4-month system.In this episode of RealDealChat, Jack Hoss sits down with Chris Gavre of The Land Sharks to unpack one of the most underrated strategies in real estate investing right now: buying raw vacant land, placing a brand new manufactured home on it, making it FHA compliant, and selling it for $40,000+ in net profit per deal.Chris and his partner Robert have done 50-60 of these in a single year with a lean two-person operation.Topics covered in this episode:Why this strategy out-performs traditional house flipping on predictability and marginsHow to source vacant land using zoned and filtered county dataThe FHA compliance process: detitling, brick skirting, and the engineer certificationWhat a double wide costs wholesale from manufacturers like Clayton and Champion ($62-72K)How to net $40-45K per deal with total development costs around $40-50KThe 4-month timeline from land purchase to closed saleWhy 95% of buyers use FHA financing and what that means for your exitHow to fund these deals when hard money lenders have never heard of the strategyRunning 18-19 simultaneous projects with just two peopleThe zoning, septic, and permitting process broken down step by stepWhy direct mail pulls better leads than cold calling for this buy boxIf you're a real estate investor looking for a predictable, scalable alternative to house flipping or new construction, this episode is worth a listen.
On May 13, 2026, Amazon officially ended the Rufus chatbot and introduced Alexa for Shopping, a game-changer for ecommerce sellers. Neil Twa dives into the mechanics of this shift, explaining how Alexa transforms search into a Q&A format, impacting sellers at every level. He shares the story of a mid-level operator with a home organization brand generating $45K a month, and how 60% of their traffic came from voice searches. Neil outlines three actionable moves to adapt: auditing listing copy for conversational queries, leveraging Alexa's new discovery layer, and optimizing for voice search. Sellers from $5K to $1M+ monthly revenue will find these insights crucial as they navigate this new era. Welcome to The High Voltage Business Builders Podcast.
Episode 170 of the Award Travel 101 podcast, hosted by Cameron Laufer and Joseph Petrovic, blends timely travel news with a deeper discussion on the value of short, points-powered trips. The episode opens with a highlight on luxury hotel redemptions, including Cameron's standout stay at Park Hyatt Niseko during ski season for just 45K points per night. In the news, they cover a range of updates: a Flying Blue promotion offering bonus miles on paid economy flights to Europe, a new IHG–ANA partnership that adds earning and transfer opportunities, and Chase's “The Edit” promotion, which offers elevated redemption value at select luxury properties—though recent data suggests values may be declining. They also break down upcoming Hyatt award chart changes, noting that while some properties decrease, the majority are increasing in category, making certain redemptions—especially family-friendly ones—more expensive.The main segment focuses on “Quick Trip Wins,” emphasizing how short, often spontaneous trips can deliver outsized value and meaningful experiences. Both hosts share personal examples, from college visits and concerts to family time and last-minute travel saves. They highlight how points and miles make these trips more accessible, even if they aren't truly “free,” and discuss strategies like booking speculative flights, leveraging credit card travel credits, and capitalizing on last-minute award availability. Joe shares several high-stakes booking stories, including snagging deeply discounted award flights just hours before departure, while Cameron reflects on how these trips help balance busy schedules and create lasting memories with family.Ultimately, the episode underscores that while luxury redemptions often get the spotlight, it's the quick, intentional trips that can have the biggest personal impact. Points and miles serve as a powerful tool to enable flexibility, reduce costs, and say “yes” to experiences that might otherwise feel out of reach. The episode wraps with a practical tip: protect your credit by keeping it locked to prevent fraud—but don't forget to unlock it before applying for new cards.Episode Links:Air France/ KLM 10K BonusANA/IHG partnershipChase The Edit 2.5 Points BoostHyatt Award Chart changesWhere to Find UsThe Award Travel 101 Facebook Community.To book time with our team, check out Award Travel 1-on-1.You can also email us at 101@award.travelBuy your Award Travel 101 Merch hereReserve tickets to our Spring 2026 Meetup in Phoenix now. award.travel/phx2026Our partner CardPointers helps us get the most from our cards.

Last week, I was told I owed $45,000 in taxes. And I was ready to pay it. No questions. No pushback. Just, "Okay… let's handle it." But something didn't feel right. So I paused. I asked one more question. I got a second opinion. And what I found? It was wrong. I was taxed on something that isn't even taxable, which inflated the number by tens of thousands of dollars. That moment got me thinking… How often do we move forward just because someone with a title told us to? Even when something in us is quietly saying, this doesn't add up… In this week's episode, I'm sharing: The $45K mistake I almost made Why trusting "experts" without questioning can cost you How to recognize when something is off And a simple framework to protect yourself in business and life Because trusting your gut isn't reckless… it's responsible. You might not save $45,000 today… but this could save you from your next big mistake.

Emma Grede built a business and media empire (including brands like Good American and SKIMS) without a safety net. Today, she joins Nicole to pull back the curtain on the money mindset, negotiation tactics, and hard-won lessons that got her there. Emma gets raw about paying herself £45K while paying a male hire £150K to do a worse job, the moment Good American sold $1 million worth of inventory on day one (and why her investors turned on her by noon), and creative strategies she's used to close major deals. She and Nicole also dig into Emma's exact playbook for negotiating a raise, the traps women fall into with money, and why Emma never lends money — she just gives it. Then they get into the taboos: prenups, the questions people should stop asking female founders, and whether financial planning and family planning should ever be kept separate.

Group Chat News is back and we got the hottest news of the week including Spencer Pratt is now polling second for LA mayor behind a socialist and we break down why a reality star might actually be the right pick for the city right now. Nick Shirley kicked off a whistleblower wave and we think fraud detection is about to be the next big YC batch. LAUSD is spending $45K per student while California school enrollment drops over 15 percent. The UK as a 51st state would land below Mississippi on wages. China's GDP went from 78 percent of the US to 64 percent and we get into how the one child policy and going after their wealthy entrepreneurs cooked them. Nike rolled out a Boston Marathon ad that said runners welcome walkers tolerated then pulled it after backlash. We get into pace shaming, why every kid needs to learn how to lose, and how brands get stuck in a stretch where they cannot do anything right. Plus 56 percent of Gen Z women now have tattoos, and the Customs and Border Protection portal opens tomorrow at 8am ET to refund $127B in tariffs to 82 percent of US importers. If you imported anything since last April, get on it
Questions? Comments?This episode mixes studio banter with a surprisingly substantive look at education and investing trade-offs. Don and Tom walk through data on the lowest-paying college majors, highlighting that many bachelor's degrees—especially in education and the arts—start and stay low in income unless paired with advanced study. They push back on the idea that college isn't worth it, citing Federal Reserve data showing higher lifetime earnings, better job stability, and longer life expectancy for graduates, while emphasizing the real danger: taking on large debt for low-paying fields. Listener questions cover Roth conversions (worth considering carefully within tax brackets), why 529 plans still beat so-called “Trump accounts,” and the flaws in covered-call income ETFs like JEPI—ultimately reinforcing their core philosophy: ignore gimmicks, focus on total return, and keep investing simple.0:04 Almost-live intro from “studio” (aka broom closet) and end of radio era2:10 Lowest-paying college majors and why outcomes vary3:23 Pharmacy (without grad school) and theology incomes4:22 Social services, performing arts, and education pay realities5:42 Liberal arts debate—value vs. earning potential7:42 Biology, hospitality, psychology, and other $45K careers9:22 Should you skip college?

Send a textWhat really makes a shed sell itself? We dig into the details with Ervin Stutzman of Summit Portable Buildings and returning road-warrior-turned-sales-pro Joe McNally to uncover how craftsmanship and digital savvy combine to win modern buyers. From studs and flooring you can feel underfoot to configurators and CRMs that speed decisions, we share what's working now and how small manufacturers can outmaneuver bigger brands with clarity and care.We start with the build: quality 2x4s, double top plates, LP's SmartGuard advantages, and why bark on studs turns buyers off. Then we pivot to the first impression online. A decade after Craigslist listings, the path now runs through clean Google profiles, sharp photography, short-form video, and 3D designers. Some shoppers swipe a card for a 10x16 without a question, others want to dial in color, trim, and door placement. The trick is reading who's in front of you and using tools that adapt to both. We also tackle the “self-checkout” of shed sales: smart CRM follow-ups and light automation that keep the pipeline warm so your team can focus on high-value conversations.Ervin breaks down why tighter brand control—corporate lots, trained staff, consistent visuals—can outperform a loose dealer network, while Joe shares wins from selling a $45K spray-foamed unit to managing lean lots that still moved serious volume. We unpack diversification, too: playsets, hunting blinds, and select steel structures bring in fresh traffic and create natural cross-sells, so long as you curate inventory to avoid choice overload. Editing a stale shed—new colorways, added windows, a door move—can flip it from overlooked to sold.Looking ahead to 2026, we see a hybrid future where well-built products meet disciplined digital marketing. Keep the craftsmanship undeniable, make the online experience as welcoming as a landscaped lot, and educate buyers before they arrive. That's how smaller shops capture more market share and keep delivery trucks rolling.

In the latest episode of Tom's World of Marketing, I sat down with Dawn Apuan, founder of Copy Queens, who went from ministry work and nonprofit leadership to becoming a powerhouse copywriter helping businesses generate sales—sometimes within 24 hours. Her journey started with one powerful moment. After being told she had to put her daughter in daycare and questioning her future, Dawn made a decision: "I will figure this out." That decision led her into digital marketing… and eventually to mastering the psychology behind persuasive copy. Insights she shared: Great marketing triggers five key neurochemicals in the brain: Cortisol – grabs attention by identifying the problem Dopamine – gives the audience hope and aspiration Oxytocin – builds trust and authority Serotonin – creates empathy and connection Endorphins – delivers relief and the feeling of resolution When your message follows that sequence, your audience naturally moves toward action. We also talk about: How small copy changes can dramatically increase conversions Why most marketers miss the most important emotional trigger The surprising connection between faith, neuroscience, and storytelling And one wild example: A client changed just two elements on a sales page and increased revenue from $45K to $450K. Listen to the full episode of Tom's World of Marketing to discover how better messaging can transform your marketing results.
In this episode of Business School for the Rehab Chiropractor, Justin speaks with Dr. Derek Huddleston (clinic owner in Little Rock, Arkansas) whose path to practice ownership was forged through extreme hardship and a decision to build a clinic that actually listens.As an Air Force veteran and former medic, Derek shares how losing people close to him, navigating addiction, and watching the “pill-first” system fail pushed him toward chiropractic and a rehab-based model. Justin and Derek unpack what happens when you stop chasing volume, start charging based on value, and take 100% ownership of your outcomes, especially in a market where people assume “that price won't work here.” In this episode, you'll hear about:How Derek went from high-volume practice pressure to a values-driven rehab chiro modelWhy conviction and empathy matter more than scripts when it comes to “selling” care plansThe “small town” pricing myth and how Derek sells $5,600 care plans in a $45K income marketYour Host: Justin RabinowitzFounder of RehabChiro Coach.Justin works with chiropractors and clinic owners to build profitable, scalable practices rooted in clear business models and disciplined execution.To learn more about how Justin and Rehab Chiro Coach can help you finally build the business of your dreams, click here to book a free strategy call with his team.To get your first month free with Jane.app, use my code Rehabchiro1moClick here to book your demo

Strap in, because Jackie joins Brad Barrett for a crossover episode on the ChooseFI podcast, home of the world's largest FI community! Together, they rewind all the way back to 2017, when Jackie first stumbled onto ChooseFI… and everything changed. She recounts her journey to reaching early retirement by December 2019, and using that freedom to go back to school, get her CFP, and write 'F.I.R.E. for Dummies'. Then the two of them dive deep into the fundamentals and break down what financial independence really means. They explain why even ten dollars a month can spark a lifelong investing habit, and how Jackie's first investment club taught her the power of community and compounding. They decode 401(k)s, demystify fund selection, and spotlight the quiet villain of investing: expense ratios. The episode widens from there: debt payoff strategies, designing a modest but deeply rich life on $40–45K a year in Ohio, negotiating everything from internet bills to insurance premiums, and the emotional transformation from paycheck-to-paycheck lifestyle to feeling 'directionally correct.' They conclude with the realization that FI isn't just about money, it's about options. Whether you're a late starter, brand new or ten years into the journey; returning to the basics is how you stay grounded, stay motivated, and stay on course. ==================== DEALS & DISCOUNTS FROM OUR TRUSTED PARTNERS: MONARCH MONEY The modern way to manage money!

In this episode, Anderson attorneys Amanda Wynalda, Esq., and Eliot Thomas, Esq., tackle listener questions on reducing capital gains taxes and advanced tax strategies for real estate investors and business owners. They explore the intricacies of cost segregation studies and bonus depreciation versus Section 179, including timing issues for renovations. Amanda and Eliot discuss strategies for minimizing capital gains after decades of depreciation, converting ordinary income to capital gains in development deals, and the tax implications of oil and gas working interest investments. The duo also covers deductible expenses for corporate retreats, entity structuring for piano tuning and bookkeeping businesses, and sophisticated trading partnerships using C corporations. Finally, they take a deep dive into Solo 401(k) contribution limits, explaining the differences between employee contributions, employer matches, and the mega backdoor Roth strategy for maximizing retirement savings. Tune in for expert advice on these and more! Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com Highlights/Topics: "I purchased a rental and did a cost seg in 2024. I renovated it in 2025. Can I use a cost segregation and/or Section 179 to depreciate the new renovation assets in 2025?" Answer: Yes, bonus depreciation works; 179 has limitations. [21:16] “How can I reduce capital gains on the sale of a rental property after nearly 27 and a half years? The accelerated depreciation reduced the basis to zero." Answer: 1031 exchange, installment sale, or opportunity zones. "How can I get capital gains on my K-1 instead of ordinary income on my investment into a real estate developer corporation?" Answer: Development corporations typically generate ordinary income, not capital. "What expenses for an off-site retreat for an LLC member and officers meeting are deductible? For example, travel, lodging, meals, activities." Answer: Travel, lodging, 50% meals if genuinely business-related. "If I invest in an oil and gas working interest and I have a first year larger intangible drilling cost loss than is needed for a given tax year based on adjusted gross income, can the excess be carried forward to a future tax year as a net operating loss? Would the NOL have alternative minimum tax implications as well?" Answer: Yes, NOL carries forward; minimal AMT concerns today. "How do I set up a holding company in California? I want the holding company to own my two companies. One's a piano tuning business and then a bookkeeping business. I have an average income of $125,000 per year combined: $45K for piano, $80K for bookkeeping." Answer: Wyoming LLC holding company owns two California entities. "I want more information on how I can structure my LLC more efficiently for day trading. What can I do to minimize my taxes for the new year? How can I lower my capital gains tax from day trading?" Answer: Trading partnership with C corporation for deductions. "Please take a deep dive into Solo 401(k) contributions. What are the individual contribution limits, employer match limits, and especially the voluntary after tax contribution limits. Which components need to be earned income and how does this change if contributing to a Roth 401(k)?" Answer: $72K total; $24.5K employee; mega backdoor uses after-tax.

Mid-October feels like a mirror. Half the season gone, and suddenly every program is staring back at itself asking: Who are we, really? This week on Y-Option, fueled by our founding sponsor, 76® - keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat, Jim Thornby and I sat down to take stock of a college football season spinning faster than ever — coaches out, CFP contenders adjust week to week , and patience from fan bases are on life support.What we found wasn't just about wins and losses. It was about identity, timing, and the impossible math of modern college football: boosters, buyouts, and the transfer portal colliding into a single decision point.The Coaching Carousel Spins AgainThree jobs gone in a single weekend — Penn State, Oregon State, UAB — bringing the national total to eight. Each one for a different reason, but all part of a similar pattern.* Penn State went from preseason No. 2 to unemployed head coach in three weeks.* Buyouts north of $50 million are now normalized, which means emotions move faster than logic.* As Jim said, “If you're going to get rid of Coach A, you better have a damn good Coach B coming in next year.”The bigger question: do buyouts start to disappear? As the Playoff expands and the calendar stretches, schools may no longer afford impatience. Or will they only grow?Y-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Oregon State's Tough ResetTrent Bray's exit hurts because it was homegrown. He played there, grew as a coordinator there and loved being the Beavers Head Coach more than anything. Watching head coaches get dismissed from their alma mater is simply brutal.* Why is it an attractive job? Because the Beavs next head coach inherits a program with a playoff path in the new Pac-12 structure. We dive into that and more.* Corvallis has the resources and loyalty to rise again — if they get the hire right.I said it on the pod: sometimes the game moves faster than your rebuild. But when a team loses hope, change follows.The Human Cost We Don't SeeWhen a coach is fired, the headline reads “$50 million buyout.” But the story from this lens is about the 300 people whose lives change by Monday morning.* The $17K QC coach.* The $45K assistant with a newborn.* The family wondering about health insurance in February.* The 4th grader who has to walk into school knowing EVERYONE knows his Dad just got fired, and likely boo'd the previous weekend.So to every player on a team in transition: you'll remember this season forever. Compete. Connect. Choose uncommon effort over easy excuses.Teams That Define the Moment* Indiana: Stunned Oregon in Autzen with six sacks and a line-of-scrimmage win few saw coming. A top-3 résumé right now.* USC: Looked like a Big Ten team vs. Michigan — 224 rush yards, physicality, command. If they win at Notre Dame, Jayden Maiava's in the Heisman conversation.The West Coast Snapshot* Washington is quietly dominant again with Demond Williams Jr. Too quiet in my eyes.* Arizona has made big strides this season and were a snap away from a huge upset over BYU.* UCLA, under interim Tim Skipper, looks reborn.* And Stanford's new $50M donation just made their future way more interesting than their record. And their head coaching vacancy more attractive.Some Conversation Starters * The expanded playoff will test how fast schools act — and overreact.* Buyouts will shrink. They have to.* The West is rising again — maybe not in one conference, but through identity, talent, and physicality.It's the season's halfway point, but the sport's heartbeat is racing. And each Saturday, ours is too.As always, much love and stay steady,YogiY-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

Health, yes. But also money, business, love, loss, intimacy, nervous system, all of it—because you don't just scale a brand, you scale yourself.I'll take you into the real decisions that cracked me open—the $45K choice that changed my life, the moments I stopped chasing shiny coaches and chose depth over performance, intimacy over attention. This is the front row seat to everything I used to hold back, and the invitation for you to stop performing and start creating from your own center.Support the showHosted by Casey Shipp — 3000+ transformations, Self-Made Millionaire, High Priestess, Writer, Fitness Cover Model, and Founder of the Hotbody App. ✨ Ready to stop spinning your wheels and finally step into the body, energy, and lifestyle you deserve?

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the fastest way to make money in real estate is to sell buyers what they already want instead of trying to convince them to take what you've got. That's the foundation of reverse wholesaling, and once I learned it years ago, everything changed for me.Here's the truth: most wholesalers are running around chasing deals and then scrambling to find someone to buy them. That's backwards. If you know your buyers, know the areas they're buying in, and know their criteria, then your deals are practically pre-sold. You'll close faster, you'll negotiate stronger with sellers, you'll lower your risk, and you'll build long-term relationships with repeat buyers who trust you.In this episode, I walk you through a recent land deal where we had it under contract for $215K, sold it for $260K, and generated a $45K profit just by using this exact strategy. And here's the kicker…we didn't even have to list it. We just called the realtors who had recently sold land in that same area, offered them a generous commission, and within a few phone calls we had a buyer lined up. This isn't theory; this is exactly how we're doing deals right now.What's Inside:—Reasons why finding buyers first makes wholesaling easier and more profitable—How to work with realtors to bring you buyers instead of just listing your properties—The three different ways we close wholesale deals: assignment, double close, or taking it down—How to create repeat buyers who come back for more deals regardless of your assignment fee

It's another full show of questions, ranging from assumed growth rates for investments, to Save As You Earn schemes to retirement cash buffers, and much more besides! Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA20 01:21 Question 1 Hi to you both. Absolutely love the podcast and Pete's book. The information in both has made a huge difference to my understanding of what to do with my finances. My question is about expected returns when investing in equities. If often hear people use 5% growth as a estimate to use when predicting possible future values of an investment. But from what I can see (and I could be wrong!) The global stock market has averaged around 8-9% over the last 20 years. This obviously makes a huge difference to the total expected value when compared to 5%. I currently have a DB scheme pension through the fire service, so I do my 'extra' investing through a S+S ISA global index fund with 100% equities which has averaged 8.5% over the last 8 years. I am happy with a higher risk level as I have the DB pension from the Fire Service. Am I missing something with my numbers? Thanks again for all the great information. I have recommended you to many of my friends. Kind Regards James W 08:22 Question 2 Hi Pete and Roger, Thank you so much for your contribution to making the world a better place. Your passion for sharing and educating everyone is inspiring. I have a question about our Save As You Earn Scheme maturing this year. I'm lucky enough that (at the current price) I'll get a total return of > £20k at maturity in November. Not counting my chickens, but I'd like to plan the most tax efficient way of receiving these funds. The SAYE provider offers a flexible ISA to receive the shares. Could I transfer enough shares for £20k into the ISA, sell and withdraw enough cash to make space to then transfer the rest of the shares to avoid any CGT? Alternatively, could I exercise the option in March and partially transfer into an ISA across the tax year end? Are there any other mechanisms I could use to minimise tax? Thank you again for all of your hard work. Priten 15:01 Question 3 Hi Team Long time listener and YouTube viewer, heck I even watched a video when Pete wore a tie! Your podcasts have made me change my pension default funds, increase my salary sacrifice (really affects take home pay a lot less than people think!) and generally have confidence in my future. Thank you! Question: When I do finally decide to retire I'm planning a 1-2 year cash buffer for any market disasters that may happen. But when would you say to use this? The markets always move up and down a bit but should I use the cash buffer if they drop 3%, 5%, 10%? And then if I've taken 1 years worth of income from the buffer how do I rebuild the buffer? For example I'm targeting a pension drawdown of around £45K per year to keep below 40% tax. But if I've just used up the buffer then I'll be taxed 40% on taking out extra to rebuild it, so why bother as any downturn is very likely to be smaller than 40%! Wouldn't it just make sense to take out less in a downturn than get taxed 40% to rebuild a buffer? Thanks for all the podcasts! Simon Doig Halifax (but was in Cornwall!) 213:33 Question 4 Hi guys Podcast question for you please: "I've been a listener for ages, and so I have started to do the good things you suggest. I had a workplace pension (local gov DB) but now I have AVC's, a SIPP, and an S&S ISA, as well as a savings account and life insurance/ critical illness cover. Thank you. I am making contributions monthly to my pension and ISA but the gist of my question is, is it worth it if I'm only saving small amounts? This is the most I feel I can save without compromising my lifestyle, but it feels small. I'm 31 and so I'm prioritizing available cash in savings accounts for things like, new cars, boiler breakdowns and hopefully having a baby. I'm saving £80 a month into my ISA & £60 a month into my pension. Occasionally I did in extra bits when I feel I can afford it. Is this worth it, is it enough? Is it not worth bothering if I'm not saving in bigger chunks? Thanks so much - from Bianca 25:33 Question 5 Hi Pete & Roger, I have been listening to your podcast for some time and love your chat and sensible and pragmatic “advice” especially when walking my dog. I feel I'm quite knowledgeable but always pick up pearls of wisdom from you both. My wife and I have over £300k in GIAs having maximised our ISAs since around 2009. This is all in Scottish Mortgage (I'm sure you appreciate any withdrawals are 80% gains as we bought around £2). We sold all our Scottish Mortgage in ISAs near the £15 peak which was lucky and allows us to sleep at night as we are more diversified- mainly vanguard index funds. You have mentioned taking the CGT hit each year and moving money to ISAs however I'm not convinced that would make sense for us. Assuming we sold around £24k each of our Scottish Mortgage GIA each year that would give us around £20k each to move into our ISAs however we would pay around £4k each in tax (24% CGT rate). My thinking is that it will take a long time to make that up via better tax treatment in an ISA. So far my plan is to hang on until we are retired and can pay a lower rate of CGT on any gains plus there is a chance a future Government (not one I would vote for myself) may increase the £3k tax free allowance. Also if we left it all in the GIA as inheritance to our daughter (as we may not need it ourselves) would she potentially pay IHT on it and no CGT would ever be paid? We are 54 and hope to retire by 56. Many thanks. Paul 32:05 Question 6 Hello Pete & Roger Fabulous podcast and I binged Pete's new book in one sitting-the best investment I'm ever going to make! I love the concept of the cashflow ladder. I'm in my early 50's and in the University hybrid pension scheme with a great DB component and a decent projected DC pot. I can select appropriate funds for each timeline tranche within my providers system. When I come to access the DC component (limited to up to 4x UFPLS per year only-no FAD), the provider doesn't allow the draw from each pot independently so it's impossible take money only from the fund I'm targeting at that point. The fees in the current scheme are subsidised to 0% by the scheme. What kind of broad principles should someone weigh up when thinking about the flexibility advantage vs the cost of transfer to get that flexibility? Thanks, Duncan
