Tax Tips for 2006 & 2007 – This Will Shock you

Sunday, August 15th, 2010

While 90% of the U.S. population is bemoaning the quickly approaching April 15th tax deadline, I am waiting for my gift from the IRS. I big fat refund. How you ask? I take advantage of the one last tax shelter available to the average person. Before I tell you my best tax tips for 2006, I’d like you to be aware of a couple of things.

First, do you realize that what you pay in taxes each year is your number one expense?! In fact, the average employee works the first five months of the year for Uncle Sam for free. How does that make you feel about going to work January through May?

Second, most people think the way to have more income is to get another job. Adding a second “job” to increase your family’s income is in most cases a bad idea. Especially, if it pushes you up into a higher tax bracket! You basically sign up for even more taxes, increased car expenses, childcare costs, food and clothing costs. This doesn’t take into consideration the physical and emotional stress added to families by having both parents working outside the home. You can’t even put a price tag on that expense.

Here is an absolute fact. You will never make true steps toward financial independence until you learn how to get your taxes down to the legal minimum.

So, now I’m back to my top-secret strategy. Drumroll please…Own a home-based business. I am a CPA, and I am here to tell you that if you do not have a home-based business you absolutely need to start one today! I can not overemphasize the importance. The tax system for the “employee” will keep or make you poor. The tax advantages for small business owners are designed to spur economic growth. It can be your ticket to begin creating wealth.

Conservative estimates say that you can save a minimum of $2,000-$10,000 a year by having even a part-time home-based business. Let’s say that having a small business puts $4,000 a year back into your pocket (on tax savings alone) for 30 years and you invest it each year and earn 8%. You will generate over $500,000 just from owning a home-based business. That doesn’t include any income you generate from the business itself. Invest your $4,000 in tax savings for 35 years, earn 10%, and ladies and gentleman you are a millionaire!

The question is how do I take advantage of this wonderful opportunity the IRS has handed us on a golden platter? My first suggestion is to look for a business that incorporates something you are passionate about. My second suggestion is do your homework. Determine how much money you can invest, how much time you can spend and what kind of skills will be necessary.

This may shock you, but Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki in their new book, “Why We Want You To Be Rich,” actually recommend network marketing. For the average person the network marketing industry offers benefits that far outweigh the risks. There is usually a very low start-up cost and ongoing overhead expense. You begin to learn how to leverage time and money. This lesson, along with minimizing your tax expense, is arguably the most important to learn if you want to achieve financial independence.

That subject is a whole other article. A good way to explain it, though, is to work smarter not harder.

Finally, a good network marketing company already has all the systems, marketing materials, accounting and training in place. This is invaluable to the first-time business owner who does not want to take on a lot of risk.

Once you are up and running, you now have a whole new world of tax deductions available to you. It is like Christmas every April 15th. With the proper planning and documentation, you can deduct your home office, computer, phone, car, vacations, some meals and entertainment, even your child’s college education cost all completely within the legal parameters of the IRS regulations.

What is required of you is some education, documentation and a home-based business of your choice! So, when you sign this year’s return and mail in that check that feels like squeezing blood from a turnip, compare your return on that to the $500,000 to $1 million you could grow from home-based business tax advantages.

David Ansbro, Financial Planner

Sunday, August 15th, 2010

I attended a free financial planning seminar led by David Ansbro. David spent 3 hours on a Saturday morning to share his insights into financial planning. The seminar was free but the wisdom he shared was priceless. What stood out to me was that David wasnt selling anything. He simply hoped to impart his insights with people who needed it the most but often cant afford it. Davids clients are the cream of the crop. Yet, David has a heart for seeing people live their financial dreams.

Debt Consolidation Services: Free vs Paid, Which Are Better?

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

Free or paid, debt consolidation services are debt consolidation services, right? Wrong! More often than not people fall into the trap, the reason being incomplete information on the industry and inadequate knowledge on how the industry runs. But before we proceed further into the discussion, we must also take into notice the underlying factors that are compelling people to opt for the free services more than the paid ones, the first among which being the high prices taking toll on the customers.

High debt levels and defaulted payments being the prime reasons behind opting for these free services, there are instances that proved a large number of consolidation services to be nothing but scams; however, the silver line is that honest and reliable companies exist, based on whose goodwill the scammers proliferate. Therefore, instead of finding out which is which, it’s always better to keep the free services, unless it’s a direct Government undertaking.

A debt consolidation service is the last straw before one applies for bankruptcy; according to the bankruptcy reform bill, debtors hold the right to participate in credit counseling services or programs. The legitimate and free consolidation services thus help to restore a debtor’s credit.

Debt consolidation services work to grant the debtor the space of making one monthly payment instead of multiple ones; these services pay off the existing creditors and breaks the amount in equal monthly payable amounts that neither does appear hefty to the debtor nor troublesome to repay. And all that becomes possible because these services charge an interest much, much lower than other lenders. However, debt consolidation services, free or paid, make the customers pay more over the long term; lower payments over a longer period typically mean paying more in amount.

One thing to keep in mind: there are no wine and roses story; while some debt consolidation services provide financial counseling for free, they charge for transforming the words into action. The truly legitimate consolidation services charge nominally for it; in case these charges skyrocket, beware. Additionally, getting in touch with the Better Business Bureau shall offer in-depth information on the company that you are planning to opt for. But always remember, debt consolidation services are the final check posts before filing bankruptcy; if you can survive the stress accumulated from a pile of unpaid bills and growing debts, do so. And if you are sure that it is your last way out, do some preliminary research to separate the fakes from the real ones, else you know where false services may lead you to.

How could you incorporate your retirement in your personal financial plan?

Thursday, August 5th, 2010


Saving for retirement came right off the top of our salaries. We had a plan that ensured we retired before age 60 and with enough to live very well. Plan included having mortgage paid and no debts by the time retirement came. Worked great.

How can I get help a financial (business) plan quickly done and affordably?

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

I need help with a financial plan (mostly numbers – business plan) in a quick and affordable way. Please note I cannot do it myself. Thanks for any helpful advice?
I should add, that I did part myself, but need help as I have troubles with all the numbers etc.

You CAN do it yourself! In business, as in life, there’s no such word as can’t.
Start with a simple plan: Buy X and sell X at a profit. That’s a business.
Then What am I buying? Where from? Delivery? Storage etc. How do I add value? Premises, labour overheads. Who do I sell to? Market research,customer trends, price, volume.
Then how will the business expand? Costs of expansion, bigger premises, more staff. more overheads, economies of scale, what will the market stand? Gaining market share over competition etc.
Fine tune this basic plan and add numbers. This is YOUR plan, not what someone else would do.
PLEASE, have a go first. Once you start and make the effort you will find others willbe keen to help you. Your Bank manager, friendly accountant. Take advice but believe in yourself. Otherwise give up now.
