Ep. 71 – The best (and worst) ways to get paid, with Rick Keller

49m · WealthBeing · 28 Jun 05:00

It’s said that the best dollar earned is a tax-free dollar, but what does what mean when it comes to gratuities, side hustles and flipping assets? In this week’s episode of WealthBeing™, Kevin, Sheena and Travis settle in to hear from Accountant Rick Keller on some common misconceptions around taxation, strategies for taking advantage of tax sheltering vehicles and how to grow your wealth through careful tax planning.

3:00 – Hot In Money: Does the old adage “sell in May and go away” hold any good advice for your investment choices this year?

5:00 – Expert Examination:

  • Get rich quick – is there such a thing? 
  • Tax implications of cryptocurrency assets 
  • Taking more money home through employer benefit programs 
  • Retirement allowances – should people be thinking about taxes? 
  • How much do you actually need to claim from tips and gratuities? 
  • Is a side hustle worth the time investment with additional taxes? 
  • Does e-commerce live up to the earning hype?

47:30 – Financial Fix: Sheena’s suggestion will have you trading clutter for cash – and stashing it away.
