In this SAVER Show conversation, I sit down with attorney Matthew Meredith to discuss something many people overlook: Building wealth and protecting wealth are two different jobs. You can earn a great income, invest consistently, and build significant assets. But taxes, poor estate planning, business risks, and legal mistakes can potentially undo years of financial progress. ▶️ Watch the full SAVER Show episode Guest: Matthew Meredith In this lesson, you'll discover: - How proactive tax planning differs from simply filing your taxes - Why estate planning isn't just for millionaires - Ways business owners should think about protecting personal and business assets - Financial and legal mistakes that can become expensive later - Why building wealth requires an offense AND a defense - How your tax, legal, estate, and financial strategies can work together - The SAVER Takeaway Don't just ask: “How can I make more money?” Start asking: “How do I keep, protect, and eventually transfer what I'm building?” As your net worth grows, your financial strategy may need to grow with it. Your SAVER Move After watching the video, answer these three questions: 1. Do I have an updated estate plan? Think about a will, beneficiaries, powers of attorney, and other documents appropriate for your situation. 2. Am I doing tax planning or only tax filing? There is a major difference between preparing last year's return and planning financial decisions before the year ends. 3. What am I building that needs protection? Consider your home, investments, retirement accounts, business interests, income, and other assets. Then choose ONE area to review with an appropriate financial, tax, or legal professional.
