Who will benefit the most? What might you be able to do to take advantage of these additional benefits?

The world needs more impactful, local charitable giving, says Nathan Merrill. Giving without an expectation of anything in return, this is the subject today. And this act provides more benefits than many people think. We discuss the physiological effects of service, and how this helps the mind and the body. Think about how to help people within your circle, including the people you work with. You may be able to help people in ways you had never imagined. Nate and Karl discuss three ways of giving, by showing up, by delivering the high-level skills that made you wealthy, and by just plain old writing a check or using other financial tools. And what about the single people, and/or people without children? Finally, some deep thoughts about the tax deductions and how they test a person's conviction about the charities...would we give without a tax benefit?Resources mentioned in today's podcast:Foundation SourceMore than Money 360Die with ZeroGo Tax Free with a Charity White PaperAs always, it is good to have an expert on your side.

Welcome to the ENT!Embrace a little more gratitude, give a little more to the causes you are passionate about, with Nathan Merrill and Karl Frank. A lot of charitable planning centers around tax planning--if I give this, then I will save that in taxes. But rather than thinking of it as a quid pro quo, Nathan encourages us to come back to a higher level. "Detached or disinterested generosity," and the other legal definitions of charitable giving, is a good way to begin. And to whom do I want to make a gift? For many business owners, their team-mates are among the most important people in their lives. The laws make it hard to give to an employee any gift over $25. Buying a table at a charitable event is another way to make a gift, that is important. But the "how" we give is not as challenging as the why we give. Asheville, NC, is a part of the world that is struggling today, perhaps this is a great way to organize your thoughts. It is important to line up your impact with your tax deduction, and not plan around the tax benefits. You may want some recognition today even if the charity does not receive money until a later date. Included in our discussion are some of these strategies, including trusts, qualified distributions, etc. Learn about where to go to get an idea of charities to donate to. And finally, we discuss the importance of planning, because "when your values are clear, your decisions are easy."Resources mentioned in today's podcast:Foundation SourceMore than Money 360Die with ZeroGo Tax Free with a Charity White PaperAs always, it is good to have an expert on your side.

Buying a home is harder than ever before. Young people are waiting longer and longer. What does that mean for our economy? Wage growth is being outpaced by housing costs, so where are we really? Oh by the way, cars and healthcare and other costs are expensive too! The data is skewed by Covid, so what is really going on? Are the next generation potential homebuyers really all that worse off or are they culturally different, with different values? And what is going on with DOGE—does government spending cuts hurt the economy? What are the states doing? What are the numbers, not the prognosticators, saying? Prognosticators talk about inflation so often, it may lead you to ask, “Is anything disinflationary (and is that good)?” Where are we at with the unemployment number and is that a reliable number? And learn why jobless claims, produced weekly, are a reliable indicator, as volatile as they are. And the ultimate question, maybe, is America OK? Expert Network team provides free consultations.

Is business going to go well in 2025? A question from a listener gets the guys talking about reasons for optimism in 2025. Whether you are elated, despondent or in the middle, 2025 is sure to bring changes to the Federal government. What does that mean for small business owners?Nate boils it down to a different question: what do you think is the role of government? If you think it should be smaller than it has been, or less intrusive, then you might naturally feel more optimistic than a person who feels differently. The experts discuss regulations, productivity, technology, and more. Ultimately, your optimism will determine your sphere of influence; and you can effect great change for the better in your own business and life in 2025–regardless of what you think about the Federal government.As a quick reminder, the Expert Network Team provides free consultations.
