With the US dollar losing value to inflation and other currencies gaining traction, uncertainty looms. Yet, many still trust in the Dollar's perceived safety. Worried about my $420,000 retirement savings losing value, I seek alternative security for my money.

With my demanding job, I lack time for investment analysis. For seven years, a fiduciary has managed my portfolio, adapting to market conditions, enabling successful navigation and informed decisions. Consider a similar approach.

this is definitely considerable! think you could suggest any professional/advisors i can get on the phone with? i'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation

Sharon Marissa Wolfe is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment

I appreciate it. After searching her name online and reviewing her credentials, I'm quite impressed. I've contacted her as I could use all the help I can get. A call has been scheduled.

Focus on two key objectives. First, stay protected by learning when to sell stocks to cut losses and capture profits. Second, prepare to profit when the market turns around.I recommend you seek the guidance a broker or financial advisor.

The stock market is unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Strategists have been aiding folks in recording gains over 250k just in a matter of months, so I think there are alot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you have someone who knows where to look like i do.

One of my goals is to employ the service of an asset-manager this year. I've seen some off social media but wasn't able to get a response. Could you recommend one?

Don't be hesitant to contact Sonya Lee Mitchell and follow her directions.

I searched her full name online and found her webpage. I emailed to make an appointment to talk with her; hopefully, she gets back to me.

The only problem in the law is that different people are obliged to give different taxes for the same government services.

For those without 10k, online trading has muni bonds as a mutual fund. I've found these muni funds for PA & NY that give 2-4% returns. Additionally there is state tax benefits if you live in the state bond is for.

Financial education makes it so that someone earning 30k a year can eventually pay less taxes like warren buffet by doing what he does: buy stocks

The bond market factors the tax free aspect into the yield on those bonds. Thus, municipal bonds have a low yield. Your friend would be better off buying SP500 index funds and paying 15% capital gains.

Yes, but your friend already paid ordinary income taxes on the money he used to invest into the munis. That’s what people are missing when they get upset because the “wealthy” pay less in capital gains. Btw, he’s only saving taxes on the dividends. He will still have to pay capital gains taxes when he sells the munis / realizes the gains.

Everyone is trying to avoid tax, the rich is just smarter at doing so. There are poor people who get paid half cash half check to avoid tax

@@anonymous05067 umm unless you’re talking about a different country, getting paid in cash or check literally has zero bearings on tax liability. The only thing is that cash is harder to track. That’s not tax avoidance. That’s tax evasion. That’s like saying just “launder your money”, cause hiding cash income is illegal, even if you can get away with it. We’re talking here about legal ways to reduce taxes, which most average people can hardly accomplish. The fact is, whether fair or not, the wealthy have much more legal avenues and opportunities to reduce their taxes than average people. And, let’s face it, they have the money to higher the best tax experts to figure things out for them. Average people either lack access to such tax experts or are just ignorant about things and don’t get sound advice because they don’t know any better.

@@theseyi Nobody in any country can avoid government taxes. In my country, if you buy any product, for example a package of spaghettis, 50% of the price is taxes. The governments always get your money. It is not about accusing or pointing to who avoid taxes.

@Cesar Moreno Hey, this is a computer age. Peeps who aren't even traders make money from the crypto and forex markets ,how many millionaires do you know who have become wealthy by investing in savings accounts? I rest my case.

That's why you should be spending every day you're working to put away as much money into investments as early and as much as you can. When your passive investments are large enough you can stop working and live off passive income alone. Less financial stress, less taxes, no working forever.

Sammy, the top executives get up early and work late. Extremely. I think what you meant are low paid workers with multiple jobs or who need overtime to make ends meet. You are correct. Amazingly, the politicians don’t even try to fix that. They just keep talking about making other people provide more for employees or they take more money from high earners.

It’s pretty weird. Voice comes from left side if you are watching the video from before but doesn’t happen when you click the time

This is what people miss when they make the argument for a flat tax. The tax system right now is FAIR. The top 15% are also responsible for 75% of income (100 minus 15, with 100 being the person who made the least, and 1 being the person who made the most). So if 76% of the federal income tax revenue comes from 75% of the income for which fed tax revenue is derived, it is proportional. For a long time I was against the progressive tax system. It felt unfair. But if you sit and think about it in a pragmatic way like this it changes your perspective.

@@godofthecorn3011 I do hear your what you are saying. But the more complex the tax code is, the more likely it is for people to take advantage of it. So the argument is more so that it prevents corporate and ultra wealthy from being able to utilize the tax system to benefit them more than a regular American could

@@godofthecorn3011 I don't have a very strong opinion on this, but as far as the amount of federal income, if you take into account the significance of the worsening wealth divide/gap, it adds a bit more nuance. Where on that line should things change? I don't know. I see that there are some improvements to income in certain sectors recently, but also none in others. With the increase of automation of the workforce (need less workers), pushing more workers into the service sector, it is more difficult to find a well paying factory job or trade. There are so many other factors that influence this like the tipped wage (Only like $2.13 still to this day which is atrocious), the minimum wage still being where it is, the working conditions in many jobs, the proliferation of the 'gig worker,' which is more horrifying than most think. The numbers don't lie, in the US as of 2016, the top 1% own 40% of all wealth, the top 5% own 66% of all wealth, the bottom 90% own 21% (which is down from 33% in the 60s, this trend of decline increasing significantly in the last 2 decades) this has gotten significantly worse with the pandemic. The American dream of owning a home and car and being able to take care of a family off of a single income is dead. In the 60s and 70s you could do that, often with only a high school diploma. Is that a criticism of the income gap or the education system though? *shrug* a bit of both, with a multitude of other factors of course (all these problems have many causes, not just one, and so there is no such thing as a single directed fix either). Also, the decrease of benefits over the decades is very significant. A lot of benefits like health care coverage and pension is now taken out of your paycheck instead of being completely or almost completely covered by the company that you work for. The amount of income you get from easily accessible methods of investment like savings accounts have gone from 6-8% to .03% annual interest. On the other hand the interest rate has also dropped significantly, but that means we have an economy built on debt instead of wealth for the vast majority of the population. Should we blame someone in particular for this? Not really sure it is fair to place all the blame on the richest people, they are also participants in this broken system, but they also have more influence than most. Did you know that the IRS offered to make doing your taxes incredibly easy for people, but the tax preparation companies lobbied against it with really dumb arguments and trading favors to get it shot down? There is corruption everywhere in our government and the richest people have the money to buy off politicians to do what is best for them, instead of the general public. I'm cynical about it all, but I don't think I'm entirely wrong.

Thank you 🙏🏾☺️

Wrong . Politicians give them million ways to evade tax

@@MrJonyyMD being smart does not allow you morally to avoid paying tax .

Not the "poorest members".... All end consumers pay the price.

Not necessarily. You can do certain things to tax in a way that lowers rent. For example... Luxury apartments are all that are being built... That is because you can earn 4x the cost of that apartment. So the apartment complexes earn more money by leaving property empty. Tax the empty apartments, at different levels of course, under 10%? No taxes, 20% vacancy 10% of rent on empty apartments etc etc. giving a tax incentive to fill all apartments. Therefore drive rents down, while also increasing tax money.

if you're simple, then yes, that's how it works

​@hepthegreat4005 the super rich are the ones buying up empty homes so there's no chance your smart ideas will enter the tax code. The rich buy the politicians

That is true in the absolute amount of money, not in relation to their income. As stated at 0:25, the secretary of Warren Buffett pays higher taxes in relation to her income compared to Buffet himself. I don't think that's justified when hard working people have to struggle in many countries.

@@whocares2462 This is because she pays taxes on salary, while warren buffet pays taxes on stocks which is capital gains. And capital gains tax rate are always lower than normal tax rate. Its completely normal. Moreover if you habe a business you can claim write off for expenditure incurred while salaried people cant claim the same. There is nothing wrong in it.

Sure they pay the most taxes as a monetary amount, or state taxes or property taxes etc, but they might not pay the most federal income tax. Also, the rich have so many deductions which aren’t available to most people. Therefore proportionately or as a percentage of their total income/ gains they might not pay the most on taxes.

Thanks, I understand the reasons for it. But just because our system works this way doesn't mean it's fair. Why should work be taxed higher than capital gains? Are investments really more important to society than actual work? Or are investors simply more powerful than workers and therefore able to influence legislation? Plus, with shrinking wages it becomes increasingly hard for people for invest and build of other sources of income.

Nobody meant you when they said wealthy, whats your net worth rich boy?

Get your taxes done by a pro CPA. But only only worth it if your income is high, above 200k

401K, IRA, HSA, medical premiums if you have a lot of them (normally people over 80/ people with medical issues). When you pay taxes on sales of stocks/mutual funds held long term (over 1 year), the rate of those sales is long term capital gains which is a much lower rate than the standard rate, which is why you would not want to be a day trader. The best tax break is the standard deduction, which is the primary means of most earners to lower their tax liability. Google "tax credits" for ways to reduce your taxes while still using the standard deduction. Google "tax deductions" for ways to lower your taxes, only after you meet the standard deduction (normally the elderly as I said before). I hope that helps! 🍻
