The Tax Write Offs the Rich Are Using in 2026 While the IRS Shrinks
By Milena Thomas
  • The 2026 tax brackets landed lower than they were headed, and the standard deduction jumped from a planned $8,350 to $16,100 for single filers.
  • New write offs for overtime, tips, seniors and car loan interest are live now, and most of them are written to expire in 2028.
  • About a third of IRS auditors have been fired, and four assets do most of the work for people who want income without a matching tax bill.

America Is Running Out of Debt Buyers. Treasury Bills Are the Government's Fix
By Nate Gregory
  • The government took in about $5 trillion in taxes in 2025 and spent about $7 trillion, and the national debt is now over $40 trillion.
  • Investors, banks, and foreign countries are all lending less to the U.S., so starting September 9 the government plans to sell more short-term treasury bills and use that cash to buy back its long-term debt.
  • Government interest rates set the floor for your mortgage, your car loan, and your credit card, and short-term Treasury ETFs like SGOV are one way investors are playing it.

How to Get the Most From Your Guideline 401k
By Nate Gregory
  • Guideline is a company that provides low-cost 401k plans, popular with small businesses and their employees.
  • A "Guideline 401k" follows the same core rules as any 401k: tax-advantaged growth, contribution limits, and often an employer match.
  • The biggest results come from capturing the full match, choosing low-cost funds, and picking Roth or traditional to fit your situation.

Principal 401k: What to Know About Your Plan
By Cierra Seay
  • Principal is one of many companies that manage workplace 401k plans, so a "Principal 401k" is simply a 401k where Principal is the provider.
  • The rules of a 401k are the same no matter who runs it: pre-tax or Roth contributions, tax-advantaged growth, and often an employer match.
  • The biggest wins come from grabbing the full match, picking low-cost funds, and knowing whether Roth or traditional fits you.

What a Tariff Dividend Means for Your Money
By Jackson Moreland
  • A "tariff dividend" is the idea of taking money the government collects from tariffs and paying some of it back to citizens.
  • To judge the idea, you first need to know what a tariff is: a tax on imported goods, usually paid by the companies bringing them in.
  • Tariffs ripple through prices, businesses, and your investments, so the smart move is understanding those ripples, not just the headline.

No Tax on Overtime: How Overtime Pay Is Taxed
By Milena Thomas
  • "No tax on overtime" refers to a tax break that lets certain workers deduct some overtime pay, lowering the income they get taxed on.
  • A deduction does not mean overtime is truly tax-free. It means part of that pay is subtracted before your tax is figured.
  • The bigger money lesson: how you earn money changes how it is taxed, and investors often get the friendliest treatment of all.

Reading the Silver Price Forecast for 2026
By Nate Gregory
  • Nobody can honestly promise a specific silver price for 2026. Any exact number is a guess, so treat forecasts as opinions, not facts.
  • Silver is unusual because it is both a precious metal and an industrial metal, so its price answers to two very different forces.
  • Instead of chasing a forecast, learn the drivers - inflation, interest rates, recession fear, and industrial demand - so you can judge any prediction yourself.

What to Do When Reddit Stocks Go Viral
By Andre Savage
  • "Reddit stocks" usually means stocks getting hyped in online communities, where crowds can send a price soaring or crashing fast.
  • These tips can be entertaining and sometimes useful, but they are opinions, not research, and often come loaded with hype.
  • The safe move is to treat every online tip as a starting point, then do your own homework before risking a dollar.

Why Is Bitcoin Dropping Right Now?
By Kalbir Talwar
  • Bitcoin drops for a mix of reasons: interest rates, big-picture money policy, regulation news, and simple shifts in how much risk investors want to take.
  • Bitcoin has a fixed supply and no earnings, so its price runs almost entirely on supply, demand, and sentiment.
  • Sharp drops are normal for bitcoin. Understanding the drivers matters more than reacting to any single day.

The Fidelity 500 Index Fund, Made Simple for Beginners
By Jackson Moreland
  • The Fidelity 500 Index Fund is a low-cost fund that tracks the S&P 500, an index of 500 large U.S. companies.
  • Buying it means owning a tiny slice of 500 businesses at once, which spreads your risk in a single purchase.
  • Index funds like this win over time mostly by keeping fees low and letting compounding do the work.
