Tax Mistake #8: Non-Deductible IRA Contributions Are Costing You Tax-Free Growth (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If your income is too high for a regular or Roth IRA, you may have been making non-deductible IRA contributions. But you might be missing the next step.

Two incomes, two benefits plans. Today's episode digs into what happens when both spouses are high earners with strong benefits and how money quietly gets left on the table when they're not coordinated.

S2E3 The HSA Mistake Costing High Earners Thousands (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most people treat their HSA as a spending account for the year's medical bills. Used correctly, it's something far more powerful: the only account that's tax-free going in and tax-free coming out! In this episode, Matt explains why the HSA is the most underused tool for people in the highest tax brackets, how paying medical costs from other cash lets the account invest and grow untouched, and why saving your receipts lets you reimburse yourself decades later. For the right person, the tax advant
