    Episode 163: Maximize Tax Savings with a Dependent Care FSA

    Did you know you could get a 22–37% discount on your childcare or dependent care expenses just by using pre-tax dollars? In today’s episode, I dive into the often-overlooked but highly valuable Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA). While Health FSAs and HSAs get plenty of attention, Dependent Care FSAs can offer significant tax advantages—especially for dual-income families or single parents. I break down who qualifies, what kinds of care are eligible, how much you can contribute, and what special considerations apply if you're divorced, filing separately, or classified as a highly compensated employee. Whether you’re a physician with young kids or caring for a dependent adult, understanding how to use this account effectively could save you thousands. In this episode, you’ll learn: -        How Dependent Care FSAs work and how they differ from Health FSAs -        Who qualifies as a dependent for reimbursement -        What expenses are eligible (and what’s not) -        Key contribution limits for 2025 and special rules for high-income earners -        How divorce and custody arrangements affect eligibility -        How to coordinate Dependent Care FSAs with the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit -        Common mistakes and nuances to watch out for   Resources Mentioned: IRS Publication 503: https://www.irs.gov/publications/p503 Episode 137: Flexible Spending and Healthcare Savings Accounts   Disclaimer: I am not a CPA.

    Episode 157: Do You Really Need Travel Insurance? What to Know Before Your Next Trip

    Last week, we explored the role of insurance in protecting your assets. This week, we’re zooming in on a type of insurance that often flies under the radar: travel insurance. Whether you're climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, cruising to Antarctica, or simply flying cross-country, travel insurance can make or break your trip financially if something goes wrong.   In this episode, I share: When travel insurance is actually worth buyingThe difference between credit card travel protection and comprehensive travel insuranceWhy I canceled my Chase Sapphire Preferred after a frustrating insurance claimHow to evaluate the real value of travel coverage, especially when traveling internationallyThe pros and cons of single-trip vs. annual travel insuranceWhich companies are most reputable and what to look for in a policy  From missed connections to emergency evacuations, I’ll help you decide when it makes sense to get coverage — and how to avoid wasting money on insurance that won’t pay when you need it most.   Key Takeaways Credit card travel insurance can be helpful for minor issues, but often lacks the customer support or reimbursement success for larger claims.Comprehensive travel insurance offers coverage for emergencies, medical care, and trip cancellations — crucial for expensive or adventurous trips.Consider annual plans if you travel frequently.Always read the fine print and check what’s truly covered before buying.  Mentioned Travel Insurance Companies Allianz Travel Insurance World NomadsAIG Travel GuardIMGTravelex InsuranceAmerican Express Travel Insurance Please subscribe and leave a review on your favorite Podcasting platform.

    Episode 156: Insurance is a Tool to Protect Wealth

    When it comes to asset protection, your first line of defense is insurance against a potential financial disaster. You may purchase insurance to protect an asset, like homeowners’ insurance protects your personal residence in the case of significant damage. As you build your wealth, you may drop some types of insurance since you can self-fund if a situation occurs where you would actually use that insurance. Once you have an emergency fund that covers 3-6 months of living expenses, then you can self-fund any short-term disability. Some insurances are only necessarily depending on your personal situation. Life insurance is really to protect your loved ones since when you buy life insurance for yourself, you aren’t on this earth the benefit from the payout of life insurance.  This episode reviews the different types of insurance products and breaks down who would benefit from each insurance product.    Disclaimer: I am not an insurance broker, this is not personalized professional advice.   Please subscribe and leave a review on your favorite Podcasting platform.
