How the Big Beautiful Bill Will Impact Your Money – Part 3
This episode unpacks five more major money shifts in the Big Beautiful Bill, with real financial implications for workers, parents, borrowers, and savers. First, service industry professionals can now deduct tip income—up to $25,000 annually—starting in 2025. Second, overtime workers like nurses and first responders get a new deduction to ease the tax burden from extra hours. Third, interest on auto loans becomes deductible again—but only if you buy a U.S.-assembled vehicle. Fourth, the government is launching a new child savings account program with a $1,000 seed deposit for every baby born after 2025 and the ability to grow tax-advantaged. And finally, student loan limits are getting stricter: new caps will apply across undergrad, grad, and parent loans, while simplifying repayment into just two options. These updates are a big deal—whether you’re grinding late shifts, planning for college, or investing in your kid’s future.

How the Big Beautiful Bill Will Impact Your Money – Part 2
In this episode, we break down five more key provisions in the Big Beautiful Bill that directly affect your money:
Opportunity Zones Made Permanent The popular tax incentive program now offers permanent deferral and elimination of capital gains taxes for investments in low-income areas, with stricter targeting to ensure community impact.
Standard Deduction Increased The baseline income you can deduct rises to $15,750 for single filers and $31,500 for married couples filing jointly. A modest change, but one that benefits nearly all taxpayers.
Senior Bonus Deduction Expanded Americans age 65 and older get a larger additional deduction, now $7,600 for individuals and $8,000 for surviving spouses. Income limits apply, making this a strategic tool for middle-income retirees.
Child Tax Credit Increased The maximum credit per child under age 17 rises from $2,000 to $2,200 in 2025. For families with multiple children, this adds up quickly and reduces your tax bill dollar-for-dollar.
Charitable Deduction for Non-Itemizers Returns Starting in 2025, taxpayers who take the standard deduction can still deduct up to $1,000 (or $2,000 for joint filers) in charitable donations. This change is now permanent, encouraging broader giving.
If you're looking to keep more of your income and give more strategically, these updates are worth a close look. Stay tuned for Part 3, where we’ll continue unpacking the most important financial changes coming your way.

Tariffs, Tesla, and Tech Layoffs: AI and Trade Shake Up the Global Economy
The U.S. strikes a new trade deal with Vietnam, setting a 20% tariff on imports and 40% on transshipped goods while granting zero-tariff access for U.S. exports. Microsoft announces 9,000 layoffs as it flattens management and doubles down on high-growth sectors like AI and cloud. Tesla reports a 14% drop in Q2 deliveries, battling cheap Chinese EVs, Model Y delays, and Elon Musk’s growing political fallout.
