FF: Divide to Conquer Property Taxes, Government Overreach, and Money Eric and Deven testified for the Ohio State Senate while Ethan ran our Winner's Dinner meeting and Lila was collecting signatures on a Petition to put the Abolishment of Property Taxes on the November ballot. Property taxes are pricing senior citizens out of their homes as well as making housing unaffordable for many people. We talk about one woman's story of losing her home after her husband didn't pay their property taxes. We talk about how important it is for both spouses to understand the family finances, what some of the other options are for life without property taxes, and how the way Ohio is currently using property taxes is against our state constitution.   We can't guarantee an equal outcome; we can only do our best to give an equal starting point. To be an adult, you need to take responsibility for your life. Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. Our court case against the City of North Canton ignoring our 4th Amendment rights was picked up by the Ohio Supreme Court this week.  Also, don't miss our special announcement about our Real Power Family 1 ounce, 0.9999 pure silver rounds from American Gold Exchange!

LA on Fire: Protest or Planned? California has protests and riots going on. The media says this peaceful and spontaneous protest is about stopping deportation of illegal immigrants. How peaceful is it if there are vehicles burning and buildings being looted? How spontaneous can it be if there was a pallet of bricks delivered and signs were pre-printed in multiple colors? How did Trump respond to this? He called out the National Guard and the Marines. What does all this mean? Have we reached the breaking point? We talk about this and more!

Elon vs Trump The verbal battle between these two have become a media sensation, but what is the actual problems underlying this situation? How is the "Big, Beautiful Bill" helping or hurting? Why is it that only 3 people in Congress seem to be concerned about the spending of the government? We need to balance the budget, and we could not only do that but be paying down debt if we could just go back to 2019 spending. While the Pandemic may have warranted additional funds, why did we not return to spending before that emergency?   Sponsors: American Gold Exchange Our dealer for precious metals & the exclusive dealer of Real Power Family silver rounds.

They talk about “Transactional gold” which is gold that you can use, save and spend (possibly like a bank account). They also discuss AI and how while it may replace many jobs, it might not be as bad as you think. It could make our world a better place, if done right.  Sponsors: American Gold Exchange Our dealer for precious metals & the exclusive dealer of Real Power Family silver rounds.

Contributions to a traditional IRA may be tax deductible in the contribution year, with current income tax due at withdrawal. Withdrawals prior to age 59 ½ may result in a 10% IRS penalty tax in addition to current income tax. A Roth IRA offers tax deferral on any earnings in the account. Qualified withdrawals of earnings from the account are tax-free. Withdrawals of earnings prior to age 59 ½ or prior to the account being opened for 5 years, whichever is later, may result in a 10% IRS penalty tax. Limitations and restrictions may apply. Consult your tax professional about eligibility to Roth and Traditional IRA contributions. Contributions and earnings in a Roth IRA can be withdrawn without paying taxes and penalties if the account owner is at least 59 ½ and has held their Roth IRA for at least five years. Traditional IRA account owners have considerations to make before performing a Roth IRA conversion. These primarily include income tax consequences on the converted amount in the year of conversion, withdrawal limitations from a Roth IRA, and income limitations for future contributions to a Roth IRA. In addition, if you are required to take a required minimum distribution (RMD) in the year you convert, you must do so before converting to a Roth IRA.

FF: Does Bigger Government Mean a Worse Life for Citizens? We talk about our studies into places like Hong Kong, which went from poor to wealthy, and Glasgow Scotland as well as Argentina that went from wealthy to poor. Why did these changes occur? We theorize the role of government. We also talk about government spending and how this affects inflation. The "Big Beautiful Bill" won't fix the problems we have here. We talk about some of the good and bad items in this bill. Javier Milei deregulated housing in Argentina, which increased housing choice by 170% while driving rents down 40%. We talk about the effects of this and more and how buying more hard assets faster now can help protect our wealth when we reach the high inflations levels to come.

Socialism Why are government provided services never as good as private ones? We talk about SGLI and the VA. Argentina went through its period of socialism with Peron and now the people voted in Javier Milei. If you look at North and South Korea from space, why are there so many more lights in capitalist South Korea? The Millennials claim they want socialism, so why are they making capitalist decisions? We also talk about the experiment with socialism in Jamestown and how that worked out for the early settlers of what is now the U.S. Of course the government wants socialism and has the media influencing people in this direction...they want their power and control. If you want freedom, you need to take responsibility for your own life and decisions. We talk about all this and more!

Withdrawals of earnings prior to age 59 ½ or prior to the account being opened for 5 years, whichever is later, may result in a 10% IRS penalty tax. Limitations and restrictions may apply. Consult your tax professional about eligibility to Roth and Traditional IRA contributions. Contributions and earnings in a Roth IRA can be withdrawn without paying taxes and penalties if the account owner is at least 59 ½ and has held their Roth IRA for at least five years. Traditional IRA account owners have considerations to make before performing a Roth IRA conversion. These primarily include income tax consequences on the converted amount in the year of conversion, withdrawal limitations from a Roth IRA, and income limitations for future contributions to a Roth IRA. In addition, if you are required to take a required minimum distribution (RMD) in the year you convert, you must do so before converting to a Roth IRA. Premier Investments & Wealth Management and LPL Financial do not provide specific individualized tax or legal advice. We suggest that you discuss your specific situation with a qualified tax or legal advisor.

English statesman Francis Bacon once wrote, “Money is a great servant but a bad master.”If we don't learn to manage money wisely to take control of it, it will soon master us. It's one way or the other. Today, Bob Lotich tells us how to be the master and not the servant when it comes to money—and he makes it pretty clear, as well.Bob Lotich is a high-performance financial coach and Certified Educator in Personal Finance (CEPF®) and has been named a top-20 influencer in personal finance. His wife, Linda, and their award-winning website, SeedTime.com, as well as the SeedTime Money Podcast, have reached over 50 million people in the past decade. He is also the author of Simple Money, Rich Life: Achieve True Financial Freedom and Design a Life of Eternal Impact. The Wake-Up Call: A Breakdown Leads to BreakthroughBob's story, which began in 2002 when his car broke down while he was on his way to deposit a paycheck, is one that many can relate to. He described how that moment of crisis led to a deep spiritual awakening about finances and stewardship.Unfortunately, the car breaking down prevented him from depositing his paycheck and paying rent on time. Facing the stress of a possible late fee he couldn't afford, Bob realized that his financial life was on shaky ground. He describes this moment as a "house of cards" that collapsed.In his frustration, Bob prayed for wisdom, and that simple prayer became the catalyst for a profound change. God responded, leading Bob to learn about biblical stewardship and practical financial management.Biblical Wisdom: Earning, Saving, and GivingAs Bob delved into the Bible, he came across a quote from John Wesley that changed his financial perspective: "Earn all you can, save all you can, and give all you can." This idea, combined with scriptural truths, inspired him to view money not as a burden but as a tool for good.Bob reflected on passages like:Proverbs 13:11: "Gathering money little by little makes it grow."1 Timothy 6:17-19: Paul's admonition to the rich to be generous.Proverbs 22:7: The borrower is slave to the lender, which motivated Bob to eliminate debt.These verses reinforced the idea that managing money well is not about hoarding wealth but using it for God's purposes.Financial Unity in MarriageBob also emphasized the power of financial unity in marriage. Once he and his wife Linda aligned their financial goals with biblical principles, their relationship strengthened. They not only eliminated stress but also achieved impressive financial milestones, like paying off their house by the age of 31. Bob's story reminds us that peace in one's finances can be a unifying force in marriage, helping couples move forward together more quickly.The Four Keys to Earning MoreBob shared four essential principles for increasing earnings in today's digital age:Operate within God-given gifts and passions: Work aligned with your gifts gives you an "unfair advantage."Continue learning and developing your skills: Hone your craft to glorify God.Solve significant problems: You're compensated in proportion to the size of the problem you solve.Work where demand is high: Identify where there's a need and meet it.These principles guide believers to increase their earnings while keeping their hearts focused on God's kingdom.The Joy of GivingOne of the most impactful parts of Bob's message was his perspective on giving. He and his wife created a "seed account," setting aside money each month specifically for giving. By praying and waiting for opportunities, giving became not just a duty, but a joyful and fun part of their lives. This practice reminds us of the joy Jesus spoke of when He said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20:35).Enjoying God's ProvisionFinally, Bob encouraged believers to enjoy the financial blessings God provides. He highlighted the importance of gratitude and appreciating what we have. Whether earning, saving, or giving, we can find joy in every aspect of financial stewardship.Bob's journey teaches us that financial freedom isn't about accumulating wealth for ourselves but about managing what God has entrusted to us with wisdom and generosity. We can design a life of eternal impact by earning, saving, giving, and enjoying God's provision.If you're looking for more practical tips and biblical wisdom, Bob's book Simple Money, Rich Life: Achieve True Financial Freedom and Design a Life of Eternal Impact is a great resource to guide you on this journey.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have a friend who is getting ready to retire as a union electrician and is really upset about losing $100,000 when the tariff news broke. I tried to tell him that the money would be made back once the markets recovered. Is my understanding correct that he will eventually get that money back? I currently have $55,000 in a Roth IRA and $37,000 in a Traditional IRA. I'm about 30 years from retirement and contribute $200 per month to my Roth. Does it make sense to roll over the traditional IRA funds into the Roth? Would it be a good financial move for me?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Simple Money, Rich Life: Achieve True Financial Freedom and Design a Life of Eternal Impact by Bob LotichSeedtime.comWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money (Pre-Order)Look At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Vacci-NO-tions... Today we discuss the new guidelines for the COVID jab booster shots. We discuss vaccine testing, VAERs, and correlated negative events after vaccines are given. We also discuss vaccine manufacturer immunity, which started in 1986, and how that is being challenged in the Texas legislature currently. A Korean SUV may have a 10 year bumper to bumper warranty, but vaccines give warnings about how they might not work and side effects may include sudden death... We also talk about the theory of overpopulation and what is actually going on with birth rates around the globe. Just because a government, pharmaceutical company, or even media outlet tell you something, doesn't make it true. You should research on your own and look at all sides of a situation.  There is a reason we encourage everyone to Question Everything. Doing this may just save your life!

How to Get Rich & Stay Rich People need to look at the real story to make good financial decisions. While there are many sayings we've quoted before regarding making money, some favorites have been: "If your outgo exceeds your income, your upkeep will be your downfall." - Keith Cunningham "Find out what people want, go out and get it, and give it to them at a profit." - Bill Bartman "Absolute determination and on a specific (date and amount) positive goal with focus, discipline and a plan for enough time, backed up by creativity, (constant, consistent, and big) action, faith, belief that it can happen, having knowledge, experience, a team and the mindset of a leader, while you have no place to retreat" - Deven Wohlwend More than all this, there are 7 main steps to getting rich and staying rich. We share those throughout this episode. To download these steps, go to: 7 Steps to Get Rich & Stay Rich Sponsors: American Gold Exchange Our dealer for precious metals & the exclusive dealer of Real Power Family silver rounds.

Financial Friday: Charity vs. Welfare & Types of loans For Financial Friday we discuss experiences at different conferences, property taxes across different states, commercial loans, and gold investment strategies. We also discussed the benefits of local charity versus government welfare programs, concluding with ideas for real estate and precious metal investments. State Property Tax Burden Comparison Ohio ranks 8th highest in the nation for property tax burden. Eric discussed the growing frustration among Ohio taxpayers regarding property tax increases, highlighting how senior citizens are particularly affected. He emphasized the need for legislative action to address this issue, noting that while the proposed constitutional amendment to abolish property taxes requires about 400,000 signatures to get on the ballot. He also mentioned the potential for more tax foreclosures in Ohio and offered resources for learning about property tax sales. Local Charity vs. Government Welfare The group discussed the benefits of local charity versus government welfare programs, including a local community chest and how local businesses and individuals helped each other. Deven said that government handouts should be replaced with local charity efforts, citing the Constitution's focus on the pursuit of happiness rather than guaranteed welfare. Lila shared her experience helping a nursing student with Christmas assistance, emphasizing that local charity provides more meaningful connections between giver and receiver. They agreed that local charities would likely be more effective and that people would donate more if taxes were lower. Finally, they discussed the idea of defunding government-funded schools, with Eric suggesting that locally funded schools would be less likely to threaten parents or label them as domestic terrorists for opposing certain educational policies. Commercial Loan Maturity Peak 2025 Financial data shows that 2025 may be the peak year for commercial loan maturations, with over $5 billion coming due by October. Obtaining bank loans & the fees and interest rates involved as well as working with smaller banks for better service and deals. We explain how the "extend and pretend" strategy can lead to worse problems in the future. He detailed how commercial loans differ from residential loans and emphasized the importance of understanding loan terms and financial statements. Eric also shared his experience brokering deals during the 2009-2010 period and predicted more opportunities in the coming year or two from tax foreclosures and pocket listings. Gold Investment and Reserve Planning The group discussed gold investment strategies & a good possibility of a significant increase in gold prices over the next 5-10 years. They explored the importance of maintaining operating reserves while minimizing cash in banks, and discussed using real estate as collateral for loans. The conversation concluded with talking about how he invests in gold and silver through American Gold Exchange, and Deven was encouraged to take action on his real estate investment goals.

Abolishing Property Taxes in Ohio The meeting covered topics related to property taxes, economic issues, and investment strategies. Discussions included concerns about property tax increases, hope for proposed reforms, and the impact of government regulations on property owners and tenants. The group also explored financial planning, investment opportunities in precious metals, and the importance of making informed decisions to navigate current economic challenges. Property Tax Reform Challenges The group discussed property tax reform, with Eric sharing a proposed constitutional amendment in Ohio which requires 413,487 signatures from registered voters & could eliminate property taxes completely. Lila and Deven noted significant property tax increases of up to 30% in their area, while rental rates remained relatively stable, creating financial strain for property owners. The discussion concluded with Eric explaining how market dynamics, including interest rates and pricing strategies, have contributed to the current housing market challenges. He expressed frustration with high property taxes and criticized politicians for not addressing the issue effectively. Repeating Patterns in Economic Policy Eric and Ethan discuss how history tends to repeat itself in similar patterns, though not exactly. They attribute the current inflation to the pandemic response, including lockdowns and monetary policies implemented by both Trump and Biden administrations. Eric explains that inflation occurs when money is injected into the economy without corresponding value creation. The conversation then shifts to criticizing both political parties for contributing to inflation and discussing a recent deal with Ukraine, which Eric claims forgives previous aid and doesn't provide the promised rare earth materials, focusing instead on oil. Rent Control and Silver Markets The group discussed the impact of rent increases and market forces on property owners and tenants. Eric explained how price controls can lead to unintended consequences, such as reducing competition and limiting tenant choices. They also talked about the current state of gold and silver prices, with Eric predicting significant increases in the long term. The conversation concluded with a discussion about new silver rounds featuring the Real Power Family logo, which will be available soon, and plans to create content about them for their YouTube channel. Gold Investment and Financial Planning The discussion focused on investment strategies and financial planning, with Eric emphasizing the importance of working smart and making better decisions.

Do you have after-tax money in your Traditional IRA? Well, when it comes time to make distributions or do Roth conversions, you could unknowingly pay more in tax that you otherwise have to if you aren't aware of the IRA Pro-Rata rule or how you can fix this issue before it becomes a problem. In this week's Friday Q&A, I answer James' question on this specific topic.

What percentage of your retirement savings should you allocate toward traditional IRAs and 401(k)s vs. Roth IRAs and Roth 401(k)s? That's what this episode explores. Traditional financial guru advice says that it's impossible to predict where tax rates are going down the road. Therefore, you may hear that your best bet is to simply have 50% of your money in tax-deferred and 50% of your money tax-free. David is somehow perplexed by the guru's point of view about the future of tax rates being an unknown. However, signs that things won't be the same appear to be evident. The current national debt is at $37 trillion and the U.S. will be layering another $2 trillion per year over the next 10 years – excluding the $4.6 trillion that will be added to the debt if the Trump Tax Cuts get extended. That means the debt could grow to over $60 trillion by the time 2035 rolls around! Former Comptroller General of the Federal Government David Walker has stated that tax rates would have to double to keep the country solvent. And if the American fiscal ship doesn't get right by 2040, no combination of raising taxes or reducing spending will arrest the financial collapse of the nation (source: Penn-Wharton). Experts have already weighed in, and there seems to be general unanimity on the subject: in 10-15 years, tax rates are likely to be higher than they are today.  David believes that, if tax rates are likely to double in the near future, allocating the vast majority of your retirement savings to tax-free is the way to go. Why not put 100% of your retirement savings into tax-free accounts? Because you'll still have a standard deduction available to you in retirement. That's $30,000 if you're married and retired today, half that amount if you're single. Remember: if you don't have a pension, employment, or other residual income in retirement, the ideal amount is $400,000 if you're married and about half if you're single. Have a sizable pension? In that case, the ideal amount goes all the way down to zero. David suggests moving your money slowly enough that you don't rise into a tax bracket that gives you heartburn, but quickly enough to get the heavy lifting done before tax rates increase in 2034. The goal? To stretch that tax obligation out over as many years as possible, so you can stay in as low a tax bracket as you can. Generally, David recommends never bumping into a higher tax bracket than 24% as you execute your Roth Conversion strategy. Instead of reflexively allocating money in a 50-50 split between traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs, David encourages a more surgical approach. This will shield you from the impact of higher taxes down the road and increase the likelihood that your money will last as long as you do.     Mentioned in this episode: David's national bestselling book: The Guru Gap: How America's Financial Gurus Are Leading You Astray, and How to Get Back on Track DavidMcKnight.com DavidMcKnightBooks.com PowerOfZero.com (free video series) @mcknightandco on Twitter  @davidcmcknight on Instagram David McKnight on YouTube Get David's Tax-free Tool Kit at taxfreetoolkit.com David M.
