Maximize Your Medical Expense Deduction
Many taxpayers miss out on medical expense deductions because of common misunderstandings. You can only deduct unreimbursed medical costs that exceed 7.5% of your AGI, and you must itemize deductions on Schedule A. Keep detailed records, track all eligible expenses, and consider timing larger costs in a single year to maximize your savings.

The Hidden Power of Compound Debt
High-interest credit card debt grows faster than most people realize, thanks to compound debt—when unpaid interest is added to your balance and accrues more interest. Even consistent minimum payments may barely reduce the principal. To break the cycle, focus on paying more than the minimum, consider balance transfers, or use structured payoff strategies like the debt avalanche or snowball method.
Tax Tips You Can’t Miss:
Maximize retirement contributions – Contribute to 401(k)s or IRAs to reduce taxable income and grow tax-deferred savings.
Consider tax-loss harvesting – Offset capital gains by selling investments at a loss before year-end.
Check estimated taxes if self-employed – Avoid penalties by paying quarterly estimated taxes on freelance or business income.
Money Moves You Need to Know:
Create a budget and stick to it – Track income and expenses to control spending and save more.
Pay off high-interest debt first – Reduce interest payments and avoid debt spirals.
Invest for the long term – Diversify your portfolio and focus on long-term growth rather than short-term gains.
Final Thoughts
That’s a wrap for this week! Remember, small, consistent steps in managing your taxes, finances, and investments can have a big impact over time. Stay informed, take action, and keep moving closer to financial freedom.
