Episode description

Ever feel like Uncle Sam is reaching too deep into your pockets? We've got you covered! On today's lively episode, we're unraveling the complex world of taxes for our ADHD community, tackling a tough question from Yvonne in our ADHD Money Talk Facebook group. She's got a state pension and a 403(b), but no 401(k)—so how can she keep a tight grip on her hard-earned cash? Fear not, because we're not just spewing generic advice; we're serving up educational insights that just might spark some genius tax planning strategies for you.

We kick things off with a candid reminder to look at the big financial picture—because tunnel vision on tax reductions can lead to missed opportunities elsewhere. It might sound paradoxical, but we explore why paying more taxes now could actually save you a bundle in the future, especially if you're eyeing a higher tax bracket with a looming promotion. We'll guide you through the ins and outs of Roth IRAs, 403(b)s, and the often overlooked aspect of tax planning over mere tax minimization. Whether you're juggling a state pension or just trying to outsmart the taxman, this chat is locked and loaded with the financial firepower you need to potentially lower your taxable income and secure a wealthier tomorrow.
