In today's episode, Chris and Danny discuss the newly proposed 50-year mortgage and what it could mean for homeowners and the housing market. While a 50-year loan could lower monthly payments, it may not be worth the trade-offs, such as slower equity growth, higher lifetime interest costs, and greater resale and refinancing risks. Chris and Danny also examine the “perfect math” argument for investing the savings instead, and why real-world factors often make that theory harder to follow. This is an interesting discussion you don't want to miss!

In today's episode, Chris and Danny dig into the truth about tax deductions, what they are, why they matter, and how they can sometimes be overrated. Too often, people chase deductions without realizing they’re spending a dollar just to save a few cents. We share real-world examples, like the business owner who buys a new car every year “to beat the tax man,” and unpack why that strategy (or others similar to it) can actually shrink your net worth. You’ll learn the difference between good deductions that truly align with your financial goals and bad ones that only look good on paper. If you’ve ever wondered whether your tax-saving moves are really helping you build wealth, this episode is for you.

In today's episode, Chris and Danny discuss the importance of intentional spending and prioritizing quality over quantity. Much of financial planning focuses on being frugal, spending less, and saving more. However, it's equally important to remember that we live in the present and shouldn't ignore our deeply held life goals. Sometimes, this mindset can feel counterintuitive or seem at odds with our current financial planning objectives.

Tune in to hear how to strike the right balance between smart financial planning and living a fulfilling life. You won't want to miss this conversation!

In today’s episode, Chris and Danny finish their discussion around the new tax legislation (i.e., The One Big Beautiful Bill Act).

In this third episode, they unpack several additional key updates: changes made to student loans and borrowing restrictions, expansion of the 529 plan, changes to AMT, Section 168 Bonus Depreciation for business owners, and the increase and permanence of the estate & gift tax lifetime exemption.
