DOWNLOAD the RISK PARITY PORTFOLIO CHEAT SHEET at affordanything.com/riskparity ______________ #618: Frank Vasquez watched his parents, ages 91 and 96, struggle financially in retirement. They were immigrants. His dad was a physician. They raised five kids. They retired in the early 1990's. But by 2009, they ran out of money. When Frank was 45, in 2009, his parents would call asking for money to help make ends meet. This reality hit Frank hard and sparked a decade-long quest to crack the code on sustainable retirement withdrawals. At age 45, Frank set an ambitious goal: retire in his early 50's while still supporting his parents financially. The problem? Most financial experts simply told people to spend less rather than optimize their portfolios for higher withdrawal rates. Frank wasn't satisfied with that answer. You'll hear how Frank discovered that many retirees leave money on the table by holding too much cash or following overly conservative allocation models. Through extensive research, he found a sweet spot for stock allocation that maximizes safe withdrawal rates — something most traditional advisors miss entirely. Frank walks us through his approach to portfolio construction, explaining why he believes in balancing growth and value stocks while keeping bonds limited to US treasuries for recession protection. He breaks down the math behind safe withdrawal rates and reveals why property taxes pose a hidden threat to retirement security as home values climb. You'll learn about risk parity strategies, macro allocation principles, and why diversification across uncorrelated assets creates more stability than traditional 60/40 portfolios. The conversation covers Frank's Golden Ratio Portfolio, a structured approach to asset allocation designed specifically for the retirement drawdown phase. Frank figured out how to fix what went wrong with his parents' retirement. His approach could help you avoid the same mistakes.

Did you hear about the guy who tried to pay his taxes with a smile? Unfortunately for him, the IRS still prefers cash.All jokes aside, failing to file your taxes for several years is no small matter—but it's not the end of the road, either. Kevin Cross joins us today with practical steps to help you get back on track.Kevin Cross is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) who has headed CPA firms in Florida and now Georgia. He has studied the tax code extensively and specializes in representing taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).Start With the Present, Not the PastThe further you fall behind, the more difficult it is to catch up. But rather than beginning with the year you first missed, he recommends filing your most recent return first—say, 2024—and working backward as needed. This shows the IRS that you're attempting to come into compliance, not ignoring your obligations.Falling behind on taxes is more common than most people think. Life events like divorce, disability, job loss, or even the rise of gig work can trigger tax complications. For example, many gig workers receive a 1099 for the first time, try to file using online software, and are shocked to discover they owe thousands. Rather than seek help, they freeze—and the following year's return also goes unfiled.Of course, COVID didn't help as many people have been struggling since then to get back on track.Do You Always Have to File?A common misunderstanding is that you must always file. If you're not going to owe anything, you don't have to file. That includes many senior citizens who live solely on Social Security.However, if you're due a refund, you have up to three years to file and claim it. Miss that window, and the refund is forfeited.Importantly, there's a difference between not filing and not paying. Sometimes you don't know what you owe—or if you owe—until you file.Even if you don't owe taxes on the sale of a primary residence, for example, the IRS won't know that unless you file. If you don't, you might receive a letter saying you owe thousands in capital gains tax—money you could've avoided paying.How to Begin the ProcessIf you're unsure how many years you've missed, a good first step is to request a Wage and Income Transcript from the IRS. This document shows all your reported income—W-2s, 1099s, Social Security, retirement distributions, and more. You can request it through the IRS website by searching for “IRS wage and income transcript.”Even with transcripts in hand, deciphering them can be complicated. That's why we strongly recommend seeking help from a CPA or tax professional familiar with IRS representation. You may not know what to do with what you find. You can find a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) in your area who specializes in tax planning and preparation by going to FaithFi.com and clicking “Find a Professional”. Also, it's helpful to know that the IRS's own handbook, the Internal Revenue Manual, usually requires only the last six years of returns to be filed. That's a helpful limit for those unsure where to begin.The IRS Will Work With YouDon't let fear keep you stuck. The IRS can work with you. Options include payment plans or even an offer in compromise, which may reduce your total tax liability.Filing late taxes doesn't have to be terrifying. With the right help and a step-by-step plan, you can get back on track—and even experience peace of mind. The IRS just wants to see you trying. Start with today, and take it one step at a time.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have a TIAA retirement account from my husband's time as an adjunct professor at a local community college. It's a small amount. As I'm 76, I'm required to set aside a certain amount each year. I would like to give this to my son now so that those amounts can stay in the account and start accruing interest. Can I do that?We have a credit card balance of $15,000 with an interest rate of 11%. We try to pay $2,000 a month, but the balance keeps increasing. Part of the reason is that our 29-year-old daughter, who lives and works in London, has a card on our account. We initially gave her the card for emergencies and plane tickets home, but she's using it for other expenses, such as occasional Ubers and travel. We want to pay off this card, but we're making no progress.

What's all the buzz about the “Big Beautiful Bill?” With many current tax provisions set to expire at the end of the year, there's a lot of noise, but very little that's finalized. Matt walks through the latest version of the Senate proposal, what it could mean for taxpayers, and why the only smart move right now is to stay informed and stay patient. He also highlights a thought-provoking article from The Wall Street Journal that shows how politics are increasingly influencing investment behavior- and not in a good way.   Here's some of what we discuss in this episode:

  5 Types of Income to Create Infinite Income   - AZ TRT S06 EP09 (271) 5-25-2025              What We Learned This Week Multiple Streams of Income strategy 5 Types of Income – Career, Investment, Retirement Account, Pension, Tax Free Diversification of income provides you security and freedom Build Infinite Income thru initial investment, and profits pay off loans, then go on forever George Lucas created the Star Wars IP one time, and gets infinite returns from the movies & merchandise Real Estate, Business, and Insurance products are good assets for infinite income     Notes:   Segment 1: The 5 Types of Income – Why One Stream Isn't Enough Opening: The Economic Shift ·         The economic landscape has changed dramatically over the last 50 years. ·         While business and technology have advanced, personal finance education and systems haven't kept pace. ·         Inflation has significantly eroded purchasing power. ·         It's no longer the 1950s where one income could support a family of four. Now, two incomes are often required—and even then, many people have a third gig. The New Normal: Side Hustles & Financial Reality ·         According to recent stats, 70% of people need an additional income stream, often from a side business or freelance work. ·         30% of Americans hold a second job. ·         Among millennials, that number rises to 50%.     The Lesson from Robert Allen & Rich Dad, Poor Dad ·         Robert Allen's Multiple Streams of Income advocated for income diversification to gain safety and freedom. ·         Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad, Poor Dad emphasized acquiring income-producing assets—his favorite being real estate. The 5 Types of Income 1.    Career or Business Income Your primary, day-to-day W-2 income—pays the bills and covers monthly expenses. 2.    Investment Income Comes from appreciating or income-producing assets like real estate, stocks, or Bitcoin. 3.    Retirement Accounts Tax-deferred income sources like IRAs or 401(k)s—subject to rules and penalties but critical for long-term planning. 4.    Guaranteed Income Comes from pensions, annuities, or Social Security. Designed for lifetime income and stability. 5.    Tax-Free Income Generated through Roth IRAs or cash value from life insurance. You pay tax on the seed, not the harvest. Call to Action: ·         Make a list of which of the five types of income you currently have. ·         Strategize how to build the remaining ones for a balanced, resilient financial future. Analogy: Just like a business has multiple products or a sports team has multiple ways to score, individuals should have diverse income sources to win financially. Segment 2: Infinite Income – Building Streams That Never Run Dry What Is Infinite Income? ·         Infinite income is ongoing, residual income that continues long after the original work or investment. ·         It's the financial holy grail: put in work or money once, get paid over and over. Key Assets That Can Generate Infinite Income: ·         Tangible Assets: Real estate, businesses, stocks ·         Intangible Assets: Skills, knowledge, intellectual property (IP), network Examples of Infinite Income in Action 1. Real Estate ·         Buy a $250K property with 10% down ($25K). ·         Renters pay the mortgage; property appreciates. ·         Refinance later, pull out your original investment tax-free. ·         Continue collecting rental income even after loan is paid off. ·         Use refinance funds to buy more properties → Repeat → Scale. 2. Business Ownership ·         Start or buy a business using a loan. ·         Profits pay off the loan, then continue to generate revenue. ·         Later, use the business as collateral to expand or acquire another. 3. Life Insurance (IUL Strategy) ·         Fund a policy over time; cash value grows tax-deferred. ·         Take loans against the policy tax-free—used as supplemental retirement income. ·         Policy can also be a legacy tool, passing on wealth tax-free. 4. Intellectual Property (IP) ·         George Lucas with Star Wars—created once, profits for decades from merchandise and licensing. ·         Jeff Bezos still profits from Amazon stock, 30 years later. ·         Microsoft, McDonald's, Coca-Cola—IP and systems built once, revenue continues for decades. ·         DC Comics still profiting off Superman IP created in the 1930s. Key Principles for Building Infinite Income ·         Choose the Right Assets: Real estate, businesses, IULs—not just assets that appreciate, but ones that cash flow. ·         Leverage and Scale: Use debt wisely to scale income-producing assets. Wealthy individuals and private equity firms use this strategy constantly. o    Example: PE firms acquire HVAC companies, funeral homes, rental properties—assets that provide consistent 10%+ returns. ·         Use Tax Strategy to Your Advantage: o    Tax-free income is more efficient. o    Lowering your tax burden increases your net income immediately. o    Wealthy individuals use loans, Roths, and life insurance to optimize tax efficiency. Mindset Shift: ·         Don't chase just “buy low/sell high” assets. Instead, acquire harvestable assets—ones that generate regular income and can appreciate. ·         Build cash flow now, use it to reinvest in more assets—repeat the cycle. Closing Thought: ·         Control three things: Assets, Income, Taxes. ·         Master those, and you create not just wealth—but infinite income.     Investing Shows: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Investing-Stocks-Bonds-Retirement       ‘Best Of' Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Best+of+BRT      Thanks for Listening.

HOW BILLIONAIRES AVOID TAXES AND PROBATE WHILE YOU GET SOAKED

Congress is in the middle of a high-stakes budget debate that includes fighting over tax policy and funding for many vital public programs. But what's often missing from that budget debate is a focus on the people these decisions affect, especially kids. Professor Jean Junior explains how tax policy choices made on Capitol Hill directly affect health and well-being, and why taxes can be a powerful tool to improve health outcomes for everyone. Drawing from her experience as a pediatrician, Professor Junior challenges us to see policy choices through the eyes of a doctor by putting people's well-being first. For more on this topic: Read Junior's SSN brief, Tax Policy as a Potential Tool for Reducing Infant Mortality. Check out her study, Association of State-Level Tax Policy and Infant Mortality in the United States, 1996-2019.

Tax gain harvesting is one of the most underused but powerful strategies available to early retirees and those pursuing financial independence. In this episode, we explore how it works, who it's best suited for, and how it can help reduce long-term tax liability.Unlike tax loss harvesting, which involves selling investments at a loss to offset gains, tax gain harvesting is about intentionally realizing gains when you're in a low or zero percent tax bracket—allowing you to reset your cost basis without triggering federal tax in certain situations.This strategy is most effective in taxable brokerage accounts and is typically not applicable to retirement accounts like IRAs or 401(k)s. It tends to work best in years where your income is lower, such as early retirement or transition periods before drawing Social Security.Even with additional income from dividends or part-time work, many people can still benefit from this approach. However, it's important to consider potential state tax implications as well.We'll break down how tax gain harvesting fits into a broader retirement tax strategy, what makes someone a good candidate, and how to use it thoughtfully as part of your long-term financial plan.- Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC registered investment adviser.

In this episode, we're joined by financial educator and profit strategist Jamie Trull for a conversation that bridges travel, family, and finance. Jamie shares how her background as a CPA led her to help families and small business owners make smarter financial decisions—and how those choices can open the door to more meaningful (and affordable) travel.We dig into how points and miles fit into a bigger financial strategy, the importance of separating personal and business expenses, and when it might make sense to form an LLC or S-Corp. Jamie also breaks down the often-overlooked tax implications of credit card rewards and offers tips for keeping finances organized to maximize benefits.One highlight? Our chat about teaching kids financial literacy—whether by adding them as authorized users, paying them through a family business, or simply involving them in travel budgeting. Jamie encourages families to create “fun funds” by setting aside a percentage of profits, making room for joy and connection without financial guilt.This episode is packed with practical advice and empowering insights for anyone looking to make their money—and their miles—go further.Submit Your Summer Road Trip Series Story HEREFacebook GroupSponsors For This EpisodeTour Radar MEGA Sale!Find Us On InstagramMary Ellen | JoJamie's ResourcesHire Your Kids MasterclassHidden Profit BookYoutube ChannelInstagramFacebookAffiliate LinksCredit Card Affiliate LinksThe above link includes referrals for almost all travel cards (AMEX, CapitalOne, co-branded cards)If you need Chase links please reach out!
