Keen On Retirement

If you’ve started to receive 2018 tax info from your financial institutions and can already feel a sense of dread building, let me try to put a more positive spin on this process. At Keen Wealth, we like to remind clients that, to some extent, taxes are a problem of prosperity. Sticking with disciplined savings and investment strategies, even during volatility, could help generate wealth and security for your family in the long run. Taxes are just part of the price tag that comes with achieving that dream retirement scenario. However, there are mistakes that you could make when you’re filing taxes that can add up to a bigger bill than necessary, especially if you miss out on a particular strategy or deduction. On today’s show, we discuss how to avoid four common tax preparation mistakes, possible ramifications of the new tax laws, and why meeting with a fiduciary advisor shouldn’t feel like spending time in a jail cell.
