    Ep. 257 | Standard Deduction vs Itemized: Which Saves You More?

    Standard deduction vs. itemized deductions — what’s the real difference, and how do you know which one saves you more money at tax time? In this video and podcast, I break it all down in plain English so you can feel confident about your tax return. Most Americans (nearly 90%) take the standard deduction because it’s simple, bigger than ever after tax law changes, and doesn’t require any paperwork. But for some people, itemizing deductions — like mortgage interest, medical expenses, state and local taxes, or charitable donations — can mean hundreds or even thousands in extra savings. We’ll cover the pros and cons, how the IRS standard deduction amounts work for 2025, when it makes sense to itemize, and common mistakes to avoid. Taxes don’t have to be confusing. Think of this as your “deductions explained” guide, without the jargon. By the end, you’ll know exactly when to take the standard deduction, when to itemize, and how to make sure you’re not leaving money on the table. If you find this helpful, hit subscribe, share this with a friend, and drop your questions in the comments — I may cover them in a future episode! **Support the Stream By Shopping at Our Store**  Buy Your Financial Mirror Gear: https://www.thefinancialmirror.org/shop  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thefinancialmirror Rumble: https://rumble.com/TheFinancialMirror Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thefinancialmirr0r X: https://twitter.com/financialmirr0r Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefinancialmirror/ Podcast: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/thefinancialmirror If you are in need of a Financial Coach, don’t waste another day of being in debt, not planning for retirement, or simply wondering where your money went each month.

    Ep. 254 | Stop Obsessing Over Your Credit Score

    Don’t stress over your credit score — here’s why. Too many people believe their credit score is the ultimate sign of financial health. But your credit score is NOT a measure of wealth, success, or stability. It’s simply a risk rating that lenders use to decide whether to loan you money. Think about it: billionaires who don’t borrow have terrible credit scores. Meanwhile, people drowning in debt can have “great” credit scores — because they keep borrowing! In this episode, we’ll break down: Why your credit score doesn’t define your financial health The truth about credit vs. insurance scores Why obsessing over your score keeps you trapped in debt How real wealth is built through budgeting, debt freedom, and net worth growth Simple habits that will naturally improve your score over time If you’re tired of chasing a number and ready to focus on real financial freedom, this episode will give you the mindset shift you need. Hit subscribe, drop a comment about your own experience with credit scores, and share this with someone who needs to hear it.
