Most people are looking at Trump Accounts as a way to save for their own kids.

Business owners should be paying attention for a different reason.

You may be able to contribute up to $2,500 to an employee's child's account, get a business deduction, and create a tax-efficient benefit for your team.

I break down the setup process and strategy in this week's Wealth Game Podcast.

Most real estate investors underuse depreciation.

A $1M property might give you ~$37K/year.

With cost segregation + 100% bonus depreciation, that can be $300K+ in year one.

Same property. Better timing.

Solar tax credits for homeowners are basically gone after 2025.

So if someone is telling you that you’ll still get 30% back, that’s not accurate.

That said, solar isn’t dead. The benefit just shifted, and most people don’t understand how yet.

@mcuban we run CPA firms and that’s one of our goals for sure. Become a more attractive place to work and help get rid of the burnout from long hours that comes with this part of our professional service industry. If this isn’t part of our goal we’ll just keep burning people out of the profession.

@RapidResponse47 @POTUS Too bad we can’t all just get along.

Most people see an old building.

Smart investors see tax credits.

20% back on renovations. Sometimes more with state credits.

This is one a lot of people miss.

A lot of impact on the taxes for most Americans.

I have always supported owning physical gold for financial security. Which is why I'm happy to share:

My sponsors at Birch Gold Group are offering a First-Time Gold Buyer Rebate.

If you've ever considered gold, this is your chance! https://t.co/B0hHVf28RB

“Rigged the tax code” 🤔

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Elon Musk's SpaceX is worth over $350 BILLION – after receiving billions in government contracts – but could be paying LESS in taxes than you.

Why?

Because Trump and Republicans rigged the tax code with loopholes for billionaire corporations.

No more corporate handouts.

[Brent Bement @brentbement]

Good point for businesses to remember! Too many small business owners run themselves ragged and burn out just making ends meet.

[Chris Hoffmann @STLChrisH]

I used to think talking about “profit” felt… cold.

But here’s what I’ve learned:

Without profit, your Purpose has an expiration date.

At Hoffmann Brothers, our mission is Improve Life in Every Home.

That takes:

-Training for our team

-Best-in-class tools & technology

-Great pay & benefits

... and none of that happens without healthy margins.

Profit isn’t greed--it’s the fuel that powers your people and your purpose.

If you’re a small business owner, don’t apologize for making money.

The stronger your financials, the bigger your impact.

AI is taking a weird turn for sure. This and the Grok companions, and imagine videos has me scratching my head as to why they’re pivoting in that direction. Other than maybe some quick memes or AI photos or videos for advertising, can’t come up with any helpful use cases for our company or any others yet for the “creative” features they’re releasing.

[Brent Bement @brentbement]

Now this is an upgrade for AI I can appreciate. So many PDFs.

[xAI @xai]

We've upgraded Grok 4's PDF processing abilities:

1. Grok can now seamlessly handle massive PDFs - hundreds of pages and beyond!
2. Grok has a better understanding of the PDF content through sharper recognition capabilities.

Grok's PDF upgrades are now live for all our users on our web and mobile apps. Put Grok to work on your PDFs!

Grok imagine just seems like a waste of resources. What problem is it solving? In the CPA world and professional services we are using AI to help with client services, employee support, and using it to increase the value we can add to clients. But this seems like a waste.
