The US tax system is by design a complicated beast, and trying to understand it all is a daunting challenge.  And yet, unless you understand how the tax brackets work, you may be paying a LOT more in taxes than you actually owe.Most taxpayers assume that the amount of tax they pay is determined by which tax bracket they're currently in.  This is both a true and untrue statement.  If you're in the 24 percent bracket, does that mean every dollar you earn is taxed at that rate?  Going forward, yes; looking backward, no.Confused?  Tune in to this week's podcast with host Johnny Dean and Rick "The Professor" Plum, CFP® to perhaps gain some clarity on this week's episode of Managing Your Financial Future!

In this episode of Beer and Money, Ryan Burklo and Alex Collins discuss the myths surrounding tax deferral, particularly the common belief that individuals will be in a lower tax bracket during retirement. They explore the implications of income growth over a career, the importance of tax planning, and strategies for managing tax efficiency in retirement. The conversation emphasizes the need for a balanced approach to retirement planning, considering both taxable and tax-free income sources. Takeaways Tax deferral is often misunderstood; it's not a one-size-fits-all model. Many believe they will be in a lower tax bracket in retirement, but this is not always true. Income growth during working years can lead to higher taxes in retirement. It's crucial to analyze income needs and tax implications before retirement. Managing tax efficiency can significantly impact retirement income. Tax planning should include a mix of taxable and tax-free income sources. The importance of flexibility in retirement income strategies cannot be overstated. Understanding tax brackets is essential for effective retirement planning. Many people overlook the long-term tax implications of their retirement savings strategies. It's vital to measure the difference in taxes due when considering tax deferral versus tax-free options.

Welcome to the Market Moment! This week, Matt, Lee, and Eli are looking at Tesla's recent stock rise, the growing stagnation concerns for the economy, and the guys give tax advice as Trump's deductions may go away after 2025. Tesla's stock experienced a significant boost following CEO Elon Musk's visit to China, surging over 16% as the company achieved a milestone in rolling out its advanced driver-assistance technology in the country. This surge was fueled by the removal of restrictions on Tesla's cars by local Chinese authorities, indicating progress in meeting the country's data security requirements. With expectations rising for the availability of Tesla's Full Self-Driving software in China, the world's largest market for electric vehicles, a reported deal with Baidu further enhances prospects by providing access to mapping and navigation technology. Wall Street is increasingly apprehensive about a potential return to 1970s-style stagflation in the U.S. economy, fueled by stubbornly high inflation and signs of economic cooling. This sentiment follows a report indicating slower-than-expected growth and accelerating core inflation, reminiscent of the economic challenges faced in past decades. Stagflation fears had previously peaked in 2022, prompting the Federal Reserve to hike interest rates, though these concerns subsided as inflation pressures eased without significantly impacting economic growth. However, rising interest rates are now contributing to increased borrowing costs, impacting various sectors from mortgages to credit cards. Matt, Lee, and Eli also dive into tax preparation strategies, including considerations such as tax brackets, deductions, and the option to roll over IRAs into Roths. As tax season approaches, understanding these aspects of tax planning becomes crucial for individuals and businesses alike. By providing insights into these topics, the podcast aims to equip listeners with the knowledge needed to navigate the complexities of tax obligations and optimize financial strategies for the future.

“If you're looking at the costs of medical expenses over time, they've actually historically grown faster than regular inflation. Healthcare is expensive, and it goes up faster than the rest of your spending; don't overlook it.”   Listen in as our hosts, Stephanie McCullough of Sofia Financial, and Kevin Gaines of American Financial Management Group tackle the critical yet often underestimated topic of healthcare costs in retirement. They uncover the harsh reality that healthcare expenses can become a significant financial burden if not properly accounted for in your retirement plan. Shedding light on the unpredictable nature of health and the associated costs, they stress the importance of being prepared for more than just your mortgage or grocery bills. They also debunk the common misconceptions around Medicare and long-term care.   Stephanie and Kevin explore the complexities of managing retirement funds with future taxes in mind. They highlight the strategies to mitigate the tax hit when withdrawing from IRAs and 401(k)s, and how these can impact your Medicare premiums through the Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA). Learn about the benefits of Roth conversions and how Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Roth accounts can be powerful tools in reducing your tax burden. They also discuss the 'widow penalty' in tax brackets and the need for strategic planning, especially when it comes to Social Security and the real rate of medical expense inflation. This episode is packed with insights to help you secure your financial health.   Key Topics: Healthcare Expenses in Retirement Planning (02:25) Medicare Costs and Supplemental Insurance (04:36) Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA) (06:58) Medical Expenses Planning for Retirement and Tax Implications (13:09) Spouses of Different Ages Who Want to Retire Simultaneously (17:46) Inherited IRAs, Tax Brackets, and the Widow Penalty (18:38) Inflation Rates and Medical Expenses (21:56) Wrap-Up (24:18)   Resources: Request to lower an Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA) Take Back Retirement Episode 21: Simplifying Medicare: What's Important For You To Know with Susan Sloan Take Back Retirement Episode 62: What Women Need to Know About Longevity Take Back Retirement Episode 27: Health Savings Accounts (HSA's): What Women Need to Know       If you like what you've been hearing, we invite you to subscribe on your favorite platform and leave us a review.

Pour yourself a glass of your favorite wine, sit back and indulge in a rich discussion ranging from pressing global dilemmas to lighthearted chats about our favorite games. We're serving up a deep dive into the Israel-Hamas ceasefire, the new tax brackets, and the harrowing incident at a recent concert. As we sip on a French white wine, we also throw in our thoughts on the reality show Selling Sunset and the animated series Lucas the Spider. The question is, should the US be financially involved in overseas conflicts, especially considering the recent ceasefire negotiations? Our second discussion revolves around this critical topic. We'll walk you through the potential benefits and drawbacks of widening tax brackets and their impact on different income groups. Plus, we reflect on the tragic incident at a Taylor Swift concert, raising urgent questions about accountability and safety at large-scale events. As we journey further, we take a trip to Norway and Sweden to dissect their approach to gun control. Instead of a complete ban, these countries take a heavily regulated approach. We'll also uncover how this compares to the  incident where a man chose a bow and arrow over a gun. Finally, we'll lighten the mood as we talk about our dream living locations, and our gaming recommendations - Deco Neco and Torn. Be prepared for an episode filled with thoughtful insights, charming banter, and, of course, great wine. Cheers and see you on the other side!

Delve into recent stock market developments. Plus, tax bracket adjustments.
