    Are you ready to evolve as you approach your money goals?

  • EP 21: Handling Cryptocurrency Like a Pro
    2023/12/27

    In this episode of Common Sense Millionaire, I’m going to equip you to handle your cryptocurrency like a pro. We're going to tackle the IRS's classification of crypto as property, and it’s potential for recognition as an investment security by other organizations. Your digital gold is not as anonymous as you might think - and whether you're investing through an investment company or independently, it's crucial to keep your wallet address protected and carefully keep records. I’ll also share an unforgettable story that highlights the cost of misplacing your wallet address… One man's loss of his hard drive resulted in him forfeiting billions in cryptocurrency. Don't learn this lesson the hard way.

    So, let’s dissect the changing economy, spread some truth around recession, and discuss investor impacts on the US housing market. I'm sure you've noticed the rising costs of airline tickets and skyrocketing car prices, but don't worry, I have a tried and true 4/10 rule for buying cars.

  • EP 19: IRS Audits: Who’s Really Targeted and How to Protect Yourself
    2023/12/13

    Ready to bust some myths about who gets audited the most?

    Spoiler alert: it's not your wealthy neighbor!

    In this episode of Common Sense Millionaire, I reveal the harsh truth about IRS practices and how they disproportionately impact African-Americans, particularly those with lower-income brackets who are business owners.

    This episode dives deep into the world of audits, giving away the mystery around increasing electronic resources at the IRS's disposal and how even the rich are not out of the auditor's scope! I'm also going to shed light on the financial challenges black Americans face when dealing with taxes. If you've ever thought about fudging the numbers or incorrectly declaring dependents - don't! The IRS has some hefty penalties for those who stray from the straight and narrow.

    I'm here to help you understand how to accurately document your income and file the correct forms to avoid these fines. Plus, I'll guide you on how to properly record your deductions, especially when legal custody is shared with an ex-spouse.

    Whatever your situation is, I've got you covered with practical advice to stay in compliance with the IRS.

    You don't want to miss this!

  • EP 18: How To Understand & Handling the Fiscal Impact of Life's Biggest Changes (Marriage, Divorce, Children)
    2023/12/06

    What if tying the knot could knot up your finances, too?

    This episode of Common Sense Millionaire peels back the layers on how life-altering events such as marriage and divorce, could impact your finances. We’re taking a deep dive into the potential tax implications of that walk down the aisle - think merging credit files, determining to file taxes jointly or individually, and even the tax burdens you might unknowingly be stepping into with your partner. And don't worry, I've got our same-sex couples covered too.

    I'll also spotlight an essential safety net: innocent spouse relief. It's a lifeline for those blindsided by their partner’s financial fiascos.

    Switching lanes, we're going to dissect the financial fallout from divorce. Enlisting a tax specialist or attorney when navigating separation is crucial, especially when it involves determining child allocation for tax purposes. It's a complex path, but I'm going to be here to guide you through it without adding to your financial strain.

    I trust you'll walk away with valuable insights to help you brave life's financial storms. And remember, I'm always here to tap into questions or concerns, so don't hesitate to get in touch.
