Tax Relief with Timalyn Bowens Should I File as Head of Household? Episode 70: In this episode, Timalyn addresses a tax filing fundamental that is often misconstrued and can lead to unnecessary tax debt and penalties. Head of household is a tax filing status for taxpayers who are unmarried but keep up the expenses of a home for a qualifying dependent. Who Qualifies for Head of Household? 3 requirements must be met for a person to claim head of household status. 1 - They were unmarried for the tax year. This is for taxpayers who have never been married, are legally separated from their spouse, or are divorced. Married taxpayers who did not live with their spouse for the last 6 months of the year are considered unmarried for this filing status. 2 - They paid more than half of the expenses for the home. This includes, but is not limited to, things such as rent, mortgage interest, property taxes, food, utilities, and insurance. 3 - They have a qualifying person who they pay more than half of the expenses for and who lives with them more than half of the year. This can be a qualifying child. This includes children who may not be the biological children of the taxpayer. It can be a foster child, adopted child, or grandchild. If the dependent is not a child, they may still be a qualifying relative. Check out the IRS interactive tool to help you determine which filing status you should use - What is My Filing Status? Can I claim my girlfriend/boyfriend as a dependent on my tax return? No, you can not claim your girlfriend or boyfriend as a dependent on your tax return. Even if they did not work and/or you provided more than half of their support for the tax year. Yes, you meet the test for being single. You also meet the support test. However, the test for them being a qualifying relative is not met. Head of Household vs Single Couples who cohabitate can not both claim head of household status. Even if a professional "allows it" it is not correct. They can not both meet the second requirement, providing more than haf of the support to upkeep the home. One must file as single while the other will file as head of household. Filing as head of household does offer more tax advantages than filing as single. The standard deduction is higher if you are filing as head of household. This means that more of your money is automatically deducted from your taxable income. Example: For the 2025 tax year, single taxpayers have a standard deduction of $15,750. This means their first $15,750 is not taxable. But for head-of-household taxpayers, the standard deduction is $23,625. So even if the two taxpayers make the same amount of money, the one filing as head of household is paying taxes on almost $8,000 less. That's not all. The tax brackets are also more favorable for taxpayers who file as head of household. For the 2025 tax year, head of household filers can have a taxable income up to $64,850, and they'll still be in the 12% tax bracket. For single taxpayers, if they have taxable income, they'll be in the 22% tax bracket. The highest their taxable income can be to stay in the 12% tax bracket is $48,475. Need Tax Help Now?

We shouldn't have to apologize for taking our faith into the public square. It's not the only worldview in the public arena, and we have every right to live out our faith intentionally. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the need for us to stop hiding our Christian identity and instead shine the light of God's Kingdom purposefully in our homes and communities. We are responsible for instilling our biblical values and morals in the next generation, and that begins at our kitchen tables. It won't be easy. We will face pushback and hardship, but most things worth doing require discomfort and effort. Let's determine to do the difficult thing in pursuit of God.

How can we preach a gospel of peace, yet still find our bodies wracked by anxiety? On the flip side, how do we call our bodies temples of the Holy Spirit, yet regard eating, exercise, or sleep as inherently "unspiritual" activities? Join me and my sister as we hear from Justin Whitmel Earley, best-selling author The Common Rule and Habits of a Household, challenging the common misconception that habits are just physical or only spiritual. They're both—physical and spiritual—and together, let's find how our habits intertwine, the neuroscience behind them, and which ones we should focus on. Don't forget to share or leave a review about this episode for a chance to win his upcoming book, The Body Teaches The Soul!

Kim Vaccarella is the founder and CEO of Bogg Bag, the durable, washable, and colorful tote designed to carry it all with ease, from beach days to everyday adventures.Kim's journey to building Bogg Bag was anything but linear. A mom of two with a full-time job, she sketched the idea for a sturdier beach tote after one too many sandy, soggy days at the shore. Turning that sketch into reality meant dipping into her children's college savings, navigating failed prototypes, and surviving a shipment disaster that nearly sank the company. She pitched the concept to investors, auditioned for Shark Tank four times, and kept going even when the odds looked impossible. For nearly a decade, Kim built Bogg slowly and steadily on the side, determined to protect her vision and move at her own pace. That persistence paid off. Today, Bogg Bag is a thriving $100 million brand carried in major retailers like Nordstrom, Target, and Dick's Sporting Goods, with millions of bags in the hands of customers across the country.In this week's episode, Kim gets super detailed about the many ups and downs on bringing this business to life - from the risks she took to place her first big order, the moments she nearly walked away, and the lessons she learned about patience, resilience, and staying true to her path. We talk about the turning points that defined her journey—from manufacturing challenges and early rejections to grassroots growth and viral moments, and the leap of faith she took when she left her 26-year career to focus on Bogg full time. Kim also shares why she ultimately turned down a massive nine figure acquisition offer and what it means to build a business on your own timeline. If you've ever doubted your pace or questioned your path, Kim's story proves that slow growth can be just as powerful.In this episode, we'll talk to Kim about:* Why slow and steady growth builds sustainable businesses. [02:27]* Kim's early drive for financial independence. [07:31]* How a beach day sparked the idea for Bogg Bag. [10:14]* Early prototypes and industry rejections. [17:16]* Selling the first 300 bags. [19:22]* Funding the first batches through savings and family support. [20:50]* Manufacturing disaster and Hurricane Sandy. [23:11] * Factory challenges and key lessons. [29:15]* Finding the right long-term manufacturing partner. [32:57]* Auditioning for Shark Tank four times. [36:09]* Raising her first $120K from trusted connections. [37:15]* Leaving her 26-year career. [41:20]* The million-dollar sales milestone and early COVID pivots. [42:12]* Going viral with Peloton moms. [44:25]* Why Kim turned down a $100M acquisition deal.

Season 2 Forever Chemicals Detox 101 series, Part 5 Since World War II, more than 350,000 synthetic chemicals have been created—and many now participate in our daily lives through the products we touch, wear, cook with, clean, play with, and furnish our homes with. These chemicals have revolutionized modern living, but they're also contributing to rising rates of chronic disease, fertility struggles, and developmental disorders. In this episode of Practical Nontoxic Living™, Sophia Ruan Gushée explains how this “chemical explosion” reshaped our homes and health, and why understanding Household Repeat Offenders™ is one of the most powerful, efficient ways to reduce exposures to toxic chemicals and heavy metals. You'll learn: How synthetic chemicals enter our homes, lifestyles, and bodies Where in our bodies Forever Chemicals have been found and what that means for breastfeeding What makes Forever Chemicals (PFAS) so concerning—and why they've earned a spot as a Household Repeat Offender™ How recognizing simple patterns in products can help you avoid hundreds but probably thousands of toxicants with ease Sophia breaks down complex science into practical insights so you can create a home that truly supports your well-being.
Jason discusses various economic and cultural trends impacting real estate investment. The core argument revolves around the decline in household size due to factors like lower marriage and fertility rates, the rise of feminism, and government policies like welfare programs, which consequently increases demand for housing units. Jason connects these societal changes to the desire of consumer product companies and taxing authorities to encourage single-person households and divorce to boost sales and tax revenue, respectively. Finally, he strongly advocates for direct investment in real estate over investing in syndications or funds, warning of potential fraud, incompetence, and excessive fees associated with those investment vehicles, citing a recent criminal indictment as an example, and arguing that when correctly calculated, real estate offers superior leveraged returns compared to the stock market or gold.

In this episode, AgingIN CEO Susan Ryan sits down with Tamar Krebs, founder of VideriAustralia (formerly Group Homes Australia), to explore her remarkable journey transforming aged care through person-centered, household living. From her early experiences in nursing homes to building 26 small-scale homes across Australia, Tamar shares how her vision redefines what it means to age with dignity. Tamar and Susan discuss the household model, where six to 10 residents live in real homes supported by trained teams. Tamar explains how thoughtful design—like central kitchens and adaptable spaces—creates meaningful daily life, while technology tools reduce care fatigue without compromising autonomy. The two also discuss the groundbreaking Rementia program, a dementia retreat designed to empower both individuals living with dementia and their caregivers. Backed by a three-year government grant, the program covers practical and personal aspects of life—food, exercise, sleep, intimacy, and financial planning—helping families reframe what's possible. Tamar urges listeners to challenge the status quo and make small, intentional changes that improve the lives of older adults. Her story is a powerful reminder that care is designed around people—not institutions—it creates communities where everyone can be seen, valued, and supported.
In the final episode of his The Household of God series, Craig Ford examines Matthew 19:1-12 in, "Singleness and Marriage Part II".

On this day in Tudor history, 3 October 1559, Sir William Fitzwilliam, gentleman of Prince Edward's privy chamber, MP, court insider, and later deputy chancellor in Ireland under Mary I, died and was honoured with burial in St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. He was one of those capable, steady figures who moved quietly through the Henrician, Edwardian, and Marian courts, and kept being trusted. Who was he? Born to a family steeped in royal service. Gray's Inn training - legal polish for a life in administration. Household service to Sir William Fitzwilliam, later Earl of Southampton MP for Guildford (1542), New Shoreham (1547), Berkshire (1553, 1559). At court: to Prince Edward's privy chamber (1544), rising to chief gentleman (1545); trusted by Somerset and Northumberland. Knighted and made Lieutenant of Windsor Castle & Keeper of Windsor Great Park by 1552. Under Mary I: dispatched to Ireland, on the council; deputy chancellor (1555); exposed misconduct by Sir Anthony Leger; rewarded with a 21-year lease of Donaghmore. Quick note: he's not the later Elizabethan Lord Deputy with the same name. Why he matters: a Dublin-born second son who, through competence, discretion, and flexibility, became a trusted royal servant across three reigns - from household retainer to the prince's inner circle and high Irish office.
