Trump’s win will affect your money, taxes, and finances.

But what does it mean for you?

Here's everything you need to know:
1. Taxes:

• One of Trump’s key tax proposals is to eliminate federal income taxes on tips, Social Security benefits, and overtime pay – which could provide financial relief for certain groups, but also reduce revenue for programs like Social Security.

• He has also promised to extend the individual and estate tax cuts from his 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which are set to expire at the end of 2025.

• Trump’s overall tax plan is estimated to increase the deficit by $4.1 trillion over 10 years, according to analyses. The large tax cuts, especially for corporations and the wealthy, are expected to contribute to this.
2. Stock Market:

• The initial market reaction to Trump’s victory was positive, with stocks rallying. Investors likely see his proposals for corporate tax cuts and deregulation as favorable for profits.

• However, his protectionist trade policies, including broad tariffs, could weigh on multinational companies and sectors like semiconductors, autos, and clean energy that are exposed to trade tensions.

• Bond yields are expected to rise further due to concerns about growing deficits from Trump’s economic agenda, which would hurt bond prices.

• Emerging markets could face headwinds from a strengthening dollar, higher US interest rates, and the potential for trade conflicts.

You don't get what you deserve, you get what you negotiate.

And everything in life is negotiable.

If you want to get rich, here are 7 tips to master negotiation:
1. The power of silence and pauses:

Awkward silences create pressure.

After making an offer, stop talking and wait for the other side to respond.

Silence prompts the other side to fill the void, sometimes making concessions.
2. The 6 P's:

Proper Prior Preparation Prevents Poor Performance.

Master your facts and leverage points to negotiate effectively vs. making hurried concessions.

Roth IRAs can make you a tax-free millionaire.

It's the ultimate tax loophole but over 90% of Americans don't have one.

Here is everything you should know about Roth IRAs:
Become a Roth IRA tax-free millionaire, the lazy way:

1. Invest $11 a day into an S&P 500 index fund
2. Wait & let compound interest do all the work
3. In 30 years you should have over $1,000,000

Historically, the S&P 500 returns ~11% per year on average (with dividends reinvested)
It doesn't matter if you've invested $100 or $1,000 or $10,000 in your Roth IRA.

What's important is that you're doing something to improve your future and build generational wealth.

Investing for 20 years may be hard, but being old and having no money is much harder.

Choose your "hard."

Taxes will be your biggest expense in life so only pay your legal share and not a dollar more.

Tax code is 75,000+ pages and the wealthy use every page to legally avoid taxation, and you should too.

Here are 7 tips that’ll save you thousands of dollars:
1. Hiring Your Children:

If you own a business and have kids under 18, you can pay them $13,850 tax-free, plus deduct it from your taxable income.

When you hire your child, this is a business expense that you can deduct from your taxable income, lowering your tax liability.

Children can perform administrative work, social media management, or other age-appropriate responsibilities.

Your child will owe $0 in taxes and you legally avoided tax on $13,850.

They can invest $6,500 of that in a tax-free ROTH IRA.
2. S Corps:

An S corp can help you reduce self-employment taxes.

S corps allows business owners to take a reasonable salary from the company's profits, so the 15.3% self-employment tax is minimized.

Assume you are the sole shareholder of an S corp and you earn $100,000 in income.

If you take a $50,000 salary and $50,000 in distributions, you'll only pay payroll taxes on the $50,000 salary.

This could save you thousands of dollars in taxes.
