That does not negate your opinion. Nor does it cancel out your right to your opinion on the matter. I am simply typing, without hyperbolization and without any all caps lock typeage, that there are, in fact, other and varied actually legitimate finance tubers out here on the tubes, covering various aspects of personal finance, whether tax or investing or entrepreneurship or estate and trust planning or legal tax avoidance tactics, et cetera, et cetera.

Brian, as a self-employed entrepreneur, in this country there’s a saying I ALWAYS tell my business associates and that is…It’s not hard to make money in this country, it’s hard to keep it! I think that your tax saving tips are outstanding, but I would have liked for you to have included the many advantages of being self-employed and especially the many tax advantages there are when investing in Real Estate. After all it’s not just about lowering your taxes but also about building assets. Doing both is dependent on having/knowing the correct information to legally use the system of IRS regulations to your advantage.

HEY MAN IVE WATCHED YOU SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE START OF COVID BACK IN EARKY 2020…. You came way up brother I’m so happy for you man!!!!! I remember watching you give us updates on the stimulus checks praying they would come… thank you for your reporting man, you’re one of the real ones 🙏

Thanks for your exhausted efforts in passing knowledge which has most likely benefitted all of your subscribers. May your knowledge & channel continue to grow & flourish into something greater.

Brian I just started watching you recently and I just wanted to thank you for being such a genuine and straightforward professional. No fuss no fluff just the facts! 😊I’m going to be going through your list of videos because I need help with growing my wealth to retire early and I’m sure I will find some good info there. Appreciate all the info that you share, keep up the great work and thank you for being a treasure in a world full of junk!

Thank you. It's clear and concise information like this that will help people. If it's too far into the weeds with technical jargon the majority end up unable to properly understand or utilize the information. Thanks for keeping things simple and to the point. Great advice.

Also, relocate from NY/NJ/CA/IL, etc, to FL and avoid paying any state taxes and pay less property tax.

Excellent info. To the point. No scare tactics , just facts. Perfect pace. No lengthy explanations or opinions. Aspects are defined, but no opinion. 5hank you. This helped a lot. I'm sharing this with others. Sadly, a Calif resident.

One thing I did change was my W-4. Found out there was a change a few years ago that made it easier to adjust your taxes if you have a working spouse. Both my wife and I are now taxed at the higher rate. Seriously, if you have a working spouse, make sure you check to see if you indicated this on your W-4, especially if you find you owe money each year and wonder why they are not taking enough taxes out of your paycheck.

Brian is a true man of the people. You are much appreciated, my friend. I am ardently of the opinion that the IRS does not deserve any of my money.

It all either gets wasted on stupid projects that don't actually accomplish anything that was set out to do, gets spent on the administrative costs of a copiously bloated bureaucratic system, or is used in $1.7 trillion 5000 page omnibus spending bills that no one asked for which *somehow* end up making the crooks and criminals in DC richer because most people don't grasp how much of a stranglehold lobbyists have on that god forsaken place. So yea, unless the people actually start getting some real representation from our government I do not believe they deserve a single dime.

Best advice for self employed is get a CPA. Will only cost a few hundred a year and they will help you setup the best structure for your specific situation. E.g. going with an S-Corp election is generally a good way to save on taxes, but for some will just add work/expense w/o any real benefits. The CPA will also keep up on changes and new things as well as now you have someone to talk to the IRS for you if that is ever needed.

Brian you are appreciated by the people ! We thank you for your service.
