This episode delves into the potential impact of proposed tax policy changes that could significantly affect Americans, particularly those making over $400,000, and the broader implications for everyday citizens.
We discuss how these tax changes, including increases on capital gains and the introduction of new taxes, may not only target high earners but could also trickle down to the average person in various ways.
We emphasize the importance of understanding that tax policies can influence the economy as a whole, affecting prices and investment opportunities. We also highlight the misconception that only the wealthy will bear the burden of these tax increases, illustrating how small business owners and individuals experiencing wealth creation events could also face substantial tax liabilities.
We encourage you to stay informed about these changes and consider how they might impact your financial future and the economy at large.

This episode into the controversial proposal of taxing unrealized capital gains, a measure that could have far-reaching consequences for individuals and the economy at large.
Hosts Steve Campbell and Travis Maus break down the implications of such a tax, emphasizing that it not only targets the ultra-wealthy but could also negatively impact everyday Americans.
They discuss how taxing assets that have not been sold creates a precarious situation where individuals might be forced to liquidate holdings to pay taxes on hypothetical gains, potentially destabilizing markets and affecting job security. The conversation highlights the ripple effects of such policies, illustrating how they could lead to diminished investment returns and economic uncertainty for all.
By examining real-world scenarios and economic principles, the hosts aim to equip listeners with a clearer understanding of the risks associated with these proposed tax changes.

We continue our series by taking a critical look at the proposed taxation of unrealized capital gains, a topic that has stirred considerable debate among financial experts and policymakers.
We initiate the conversation by defining unrealized gains—the increase in value of an asset that has not yet been sold—and how the proposed tax would apply primarily to individuals with substantial wealth, specifically those with assets exceeding $100 million. We argue that while the tax might seem targeted at the ultra-wealthy, its implications could have far-reaching effects on the economy and individuals across various financial brackets.
We then pivot and delve into the potential consequences of such a tax, discussing how taxing unrealized gains could force individuals to sell investments to pay tax liabilities, thereby disrupting markets and causing volatility.
We explore the fundamental unfairness of taxing income that has not yet been realized, questioning how this could affect personal financial decisions and overall financial planning.
Additionally, we address the ethical considerations surrounding the enforcement of an unrealized gains tax, particularly the challenges of valuing non-liquid assets and the potential for disputes over asset valuations. We warn of the bureaucratic complexities that would arise from implementing such a tax, including the burden on taxpayers to provide accurate appraisals and the risk of unfair penalties from the IRS.
As we conclude the episode, we emphasize the importance of staying informed and engaged with financial policy discussions, urging all of you to consider how these issues could affect your own financial futures and to prepare accordingly.

**We are pausing our current series to bring you five timely episodes surrounding suggested new tax policies**
In this new series, we delve into the complexities of corporate taxation and its implications for individual investors. We argue that while raising taxes on corporations may seem like an attractive solution for increasing government revenue, the actual burden often trickles down to shareholders, employees, and consumers.
This episode highlights the intricate flow of money through corporations, emphasizing that corporations are not standalone entities but rather integral components of the economy that directly impact personal finances. By increasing corporate taxes, the ripple effects can lead to reduced dividends, lower capital appreciation, and higher consumer prices.
We stress the importance of understanding these dynamics, as they affect retirement savings and investment returns, making it crucial for listeners to grasp how such policies could impact their personal financial situations.

In this episode of the Ditch the Suits podcast, Steve Campbell and Travis Maus discuss why net worth is the wrong number to track for financial freedom.
They emphasize that financial freedom is not just about money, but also about living a fulfilling life free from stress and anxiety. They explore why people stress about the volatility of their net worth and the value of their future estate.
Travis explains that people's fixation on net worth is rooted in social pressure and the misconception that it determines their worth and flexibility.
They also discuss the difference between price and value and the importance of understanding the true value of assets.
Travis provides insights on how to reframe the conversation around net worth and focus on what really matters, such as educating children about finance, investing for the long term, and preparing heirs to manage wealth responsibly.

In this episode, Steve and Travis discuss three ideas to supercharge your charitable donations and save on taxes.
The first idea is to use a donor-advised fund (DAF) to group your charitable donations together and take a larger deduction.
The second idea is to donate highly appreciated stocks instead of cash, which allows you to avoid capital gains taxes.
The third idea is to make qualified charitable distributions (QCDs) from your IRA, which can offset your required minimum distributions (RMDs) and reduce your taxable income.
These strategies can help you maximize your charitable deductions and keep more money in your pocket. #taxes #charitabledonations #taxplanning

In this episode, we discuss how to make money by leveraging debt. We explain the concept of spreads, which is the difference between the interest rate you borrow money at and the rate of return you can make by investing that money.
We emphasize the importance of understanding income taxes and how they impact spreads. They also discuss the mindset shift from viewing cash as savings to viewing it as capital that can be invested or used to pay liabilities.
The key takeaway is that leveraging good debt and managing spreads and income taxes can help build a bigger future balance sheet and cash flow.

In this episode, we discuss the idea of debt and challenge the notion that all debt is bad.
We emphasize the importance of understanding the purpose and value of debt, as well as the interest rate and how it compares to other cash usage opportunities. We also caution against insecurity masking as pride and making decisions based on societal expectations.
This episode provides a framework for evaluating debt and making informed financial decisions.
