The Power of Tax Write-Offs

Autumn continues to descend upon us up here in the Virginia highlands.

Temperatures dropped down into the 40’s for the first time this past weekend. It was a blustery Saturday morning.

From the comfort of our great room we sat and watched many leaves pull free from their trees and gradually flutter to the ground. To me, no television show could ever match that level of entertainment.

This image tracks Fall’s progression up here. The picture from the left is from last week. The one on the right is from yesterday.

We should see peak foliage within the next few weeks. Stay tuned for that.

Shifting gears back to finance…

Yesterday we talked about the power of tax write-offs and smart tax planning. That is absolutely critical these days.

Of course, W2 employees get the standard deduction they can use each year. But that’s not what we’re talking about here.

If you want to maximize your after-tax income, you must utilize business entities like limited liability companies (LLCs). They allow you to tap into the secrets of the U.S. tax code. These are secrets hidden in plain sight.

And here’s the thing –  LLCs are incredibly flexible. You don’t need to already have an operating business to use them. You can get started with simply an idea… and begin utilizing tax deductions immediately.

What’s more, you can run your investments through LLCs as well. Doing so is especially powerful when you focus on cash flow investing, as we do in our investment membership The Phoenician League.

If you have investments that are producing monthly income for you – cash flow – you can use LLCs to write off expenses that you would have incurred anyway. This is why the good CPAs out there always say that taxes are fun.

For example, my wife and I are each 50% owners of an LLC together. When we go out to dinner, we inevitably talk about our business. That makes our dinner a business meeting. And business meetings are tax-deductible.

As another example, we also utilize the Home Office deduction. It says that if you run your business from a home office on a regular basis, you can deduct (write off) a percentage of certain home expenses against your business income.

This allows us to write off a percentage of our utility, internet, and cell phone expenses against business income. And guess what? We can write off a percentage of home maintenance expenses using the Home Office deduction as well. Painting… HVAC repairs… even a new roof becomes tax-deductible this way.

And again, these tax write-offs aren’t hard to qualify for. With a little bit of tax-planning, anybody can set themselves up to take advantage of them.

More to come tomorrow…

It’s not what you make…

It’s not what you make, it’s what you keep.

I stumbled upon this old adage many years ago. It’s a simple thing. But it’s always kept me focused on what’s truly important when it comes to money and investing—the bottom line.

This saying means that financial success isn’t just about how much money you earn. It’s about how much of it you are able to keep after taxes and other expenses.

If you want to build wealth over time, you must maximize your after-tax income. That’s the name of the game.

Fortunately, the U.S. tax code makes this easy to do. There are endless deductions we can take. That is, if we’re investing in the right assets and doing things the right way.

Deductions, also known as tax write-offs, reduce our taxable income. They enable us to lower our tax bill by subtracting eligible expenses from our total income. The more deductions we can qualify for, the less taxes we’ll owe.

For example, suppose you earn $100,000 this year. Given current tax rates, you’ll owe $17,400 in federal income taxes. Ignoring state and local taxes for simplicity, this gives you a net income of $82,600. That’s what you keep.

Now, let’s suppose you can qualify for $35,000 in tax write-offs.

You still made $100,000 this year. But those write-offs reduce your taxable income to $65,000. Given current tax rates, you’ll owe $7,068 in federal income taxes. This gives you a net income of $92,932. You keep $10,000 more in this example.

Of course, these are just hypothetical examples. And they are overly simplistic for demonstration purposes. But they do illustrate the power of smart tax planning. I think that’s critical in today’s economy.

And here’s the thing – this example is conservative. If we structure our investments correctly, it’s possible to eradicate our taxable income entirely.

In my new book Beyond the Nest Egg, I wrote about an investment that made $31,339 for me last year. But utilizing all the deductions available to me, we were able to write-off over $40,000 against that income.

As such, I didn’t have to pay any taxes on that money. And that’s simply using the U.S. tax code as it’s written. No exotic loopholes or tax avoidance schemes necessary.

If you’d like to learn more about how this all works in much greater detail, Beyond the Nest Egg is available on Amazon right here.

Don’t make the same mistakes I did

Serious talk today…

I’ve been sharing stories and pictures of Fall descending upon us up here in the mountains all week. This is my favorite time of the year. But only because I’m now in a position to enjoy it. I wasn’t always…

I don’t talk about this often, but I’m a reformed corporate banker.

I say “reformed” because even though I’ve studied money my entire adult life…

I made every mistake in the book when it comes to building wealth. For example:

I once watched a stock go from $7 to $80 a share… only to ride the elevator all the way back down to $10 per share again – erasing all my gains. 

I’ve even had to pull money out of an IRA early – only to be on the hook for taxes and the 10% penalty. Ouch.

I once poured $10,000 into a small-cap stock – only to watch this “sure thing” go absolutely nowhere. 

I blew tens of thousands of dollars trying out “new” trading systems. I might as well have set that money on fire for all the good it did me.

I learned the hard way – “piecemeal” investing just doesn’t work.


As a highly trained analyst, I thought I was pretty smart. After all, I majored in finance and it’s my job to understand money. 

Yet, in spite of the nearly ten years I spent in corporate banking… 

I walked away with nothing to show for it.

So if you’ve ever wasted your hard-earned money chasing wild speculations so you could get out of the rat race…

I know how you feel. 

But I’m here to tell you—there’s a better way.

Now, I want you to imagine waking up every day knowing that your finances are in pristine order. You’re debt free. And your asset portfolio continues to grow while you sleep. That’s what secures your future.

You don’t need to keep chasing the latest investment fad or stock tip. You don’t need to keep losing sleep over the market’s ups and downs. Everything is systematic…

Introducing our new program TPL Incubator.

What makes this unique? The TPL Incubator isn’t just another financial tool. It’s a step-by-step blueprint that guides you in putting your finances in order. It’s the very roadmap I wish I had all those years back—a systematic approach to building wealth and achieving financial security.

But it doesn’t stop there. Once you’ve built that robust financial foundation, the next step is to begin building passive income streams.

Why is this essential?

Because wealth isn’t just about having money in the bank. It’s about generating income even when you’re not working. It’s about freeing yourself from the daily grind – the rat race that has so many trapped in a cycle of endless toil and worry.

The best part? I’ve distilled all my hard lessons, all the strategies that worked (and those that didn’t), into this one product. Think of it as two decades of financial wisdom, packed into a program designed to set you on the path to genuine financial freedom.

That said, this is your absolute LAST chance to get the TPL Incubator at the 50% early adopter discount.

We’re going to open the program up to the public next week. When we do, it will be at the full retail price.

So, if you’re tired of the rat race, tired of financial missteps and ready for a guided path to wealth and freedom, now is the moment to act.

Click the link below to secure TPL Incubator at this unmatched price. I promise – we won’t let you down.

Growth and Expectations

Dad, this year for my birthday I want a real laser. Like something that can cut through things. Then I can help you cut the grass…

That was my boy’s birthday request this year. I thanked him for his desire to help his dad out… but I pointed out that such a strong laser may be dangerous. What if it cut the wrong things?

Don’t worry Dad, I’ll only use it on things you say are okay.

You have to love the imagination of a child.

My guy just turned five… and he’s an absolute tornado of energy. It’s such a joy to watch him grow and explore the world. Here he is blowing out his candles:

In our household, we have one overarching rule: treat others as you would like to be treated yourself.

Nice and simple. Everything else flows from this one principle. A wise man once called it the Golden Rule.

The kids know very well that I expect them to diligently follow this Golden Rule—especially as they get older. With growth comes expectations… there are no excuses.

And I think a similar dynamic holds true in the world of finance and investing.

With growth comes expectations… and that’s where our new program TPL Incubator comes into play. This is a turn-key solution for achieving financial security and building lasting wealth.

For everything there is a season

Fall continues to close in on us up here in the Virginia highlands.

The leaves continue to brighten. The morning fog thickens. What a joy it is to experience the changing of the seasons.

The following pictures bring these words to life. I posted the first in one of my missives last week. The second is from yesterday.

In the book of Ecclesiastes it says “for everything there is a season”. One doesn’t have to be Christian to appreciate the wisdom in those words.

And what’s true of nature is just as true of life. We all go through seasons.

Birth… growth… play… work… and eventually we each become just like that leaf falling from the tree. Once robust and beautiful, we each will one day become but a memory.

Perhaps that comes across as a downer. But I don’t mean it to be.

To my way of thinking, it all comes down to a single question: what will we do with this incredible energy while we have it?

For me, it’s all about living a purpose-driven life. And that’s where our new TPL Incubator program comes in…

TPL Incubator is your key to unlocking financial security and building lasting wealth.

For a limited time, we’re opening up charter memberships in TPL Incubator for just $147 (or 12 payments of $15).

TPL Incubator provides a complete 8-hour training program that will show you how to master your finances, step-by-step. You’ll learn the fundamentals of money and the monetary system, expert personal finance, and our proven approach to constructing a robust asset portfolio.

We’ll walk you through how to budget effectively, reduce debt, grow your income, and allocate your resources into investments custom-tailored for you. And you’ll get specific recommendations for stocks, private investments, and other assets to build lasting wealth.

Plus, you’ll join a community of like-minded members. You can get support, find accountability partners, and collaborate with others on the path to financial freedom. You’ll also have a direct line to me for any questions or support.

On top of the core training, you’ll benefit from monthly market and investment updates. We do the research and due diligence—you get exclusive access.

It’s the simple things – in life and in finance…

This past Saturday was the annual “Fall Fun Day” up here in the mountains of Virginia.

Each year in October – just as the humidity disappears and the leaves start to turn – we get together for a day of food, fun, and fellowship. I didn’t count, but I believe we had eight or nine families and eleven or twelve kids running around this year.

The activities consisted of old-fashioned potato sack races, a candy corn relay for the kids, and a Saran Wrap gift ball chocked full of neat prizes.

In total I think we spent seven hours at the event—all of them outside. I can’t help but think that the old-world harvest festivals may have borne some resemblance to this.

And for the sake of memories, everyone was asked to leave their handprint on a tapestry in paint. Here it is:

The older I get, the more I realize that it truly is the simple things that mean the most in life. And I think the same holds true in the world of finance and investing.

When we left off last week, I was kicking around the idea of putting together a new financial training program. Something designed to help people get their finances together and build a robust asset portfolio. I was thinking it could be an “incubator” to help folks get to the point where they are ready to start building passive income with us in The Phoenician League.

Thanks to those of you who wrote in with feedback on the idea. I’m very encouraged by your responses.

To that end, I spent the weekend building it all out. I’m calling the new program TPL Incubator.

I had most of the training material on hand already. And we can run the program through the infrastructure we already have established for The Phoenician League. In fact, it will give users an inside look at how we operate the membership.

And just like we did with The Phoenician League, I’m sure we’ll find numerous ways to improve upon the new program as it gets up and running.

I’m very confident that what I’ve got in place is solid already. We have all the training, tools, and investment recommendations one needs to achieve financial security. But I’m sure there are some ways to make the program even more beneficial. Those opportunities only reveal themselves as people start to go through everything though.

So… I would like to invite you to become a charter member of TPL Incubator. Just as we did with The Phoenician League, we’ll offer charter members an incredible discount to what will eventually become the retail price.

And I’ll add, we don’t need to run this program on a subscription basis. It won’t have the same overhead. Pay once (or in twelve installments) and you’ll have access to our material and investment suggestions for life.

For charter members, we’re asking $147 up front or twelve payments of $15 a month. That’s it. When we open the program to the public we’ll charge double that.

As for what the program entails, there are four fundamental components.

Of course, it all starts with the core training material. We provide you with a step-by-step approach to securing your finances and building out a customized asset allocation model.

And we’ll walk you through exactly how to do that. This includes specific investment recommendations as well. That’s all part of it.

We’ll also get you access to our TPL Incubator community platform. This is where you can ask me questions or get clarification on anything presented in the training material. And you can network with others going through the program as well.

The third component will be monthly updates and periodic investment recommendations.

We maintain both an equity portfolio and a private investment portfolio – we’ll provide you with access to both. This includes our professional-grade investment research. And we’ll send you new research whenever we have identified our next great investment opportunity.

Lastly, those going through the TPL Incubator will have a direct line to me. I’m available to support you every day. And I don’t take days off.

Again, I suspect we’ll come up with additional features as time goes on. But first we have to get our charter members in the door.

If you’re interested, just click the link below. You’ll find a lot more details on the core training program there as well.

Become a Charter Member of TPL Incubator

See you inside!

Through the eyes of a child…

Fall has descended upon us up here in the mountains of Virginia.

Every day a few more leaves turn yellow, orange, and red… and every day the morning fog seems to be a little thicker. I love it.

For some reason I always think of the frontier days during this time of year.

We are way up in the Appalachian mountains. The population here has always been sparse—and that’s accentuated now that the nearby towns have lost roughly 50% of their population over the last several decades.

Apparently this area was predominantly settled by the Scotch-Irish back in the 18th century. They must have been the only ones crazy enough to think they could farm such a rugged, mountainous landscape.

It’s also well-documented that several of the prominent American founders made the trek to these lands once a year back then. Both George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were known to visit this area often. They came specifically to bathe in the hot springs which are prevalent up here.

The springs were considered to have healing properties back then. If you ask the local resort, they’ll tell you the springs still do.

I don’t know. Maybe they know what they are talking about. This is the same resort that was around back then. It was founded in 1766. Both Washington and Jefferson would stay there when they visited.

This kind of history fascinates me. But then my gaze shifts…

We carved our Halloween pumpkins in the Withrow household this week. Personally, I despise Halloween. But I don’t know what else to call carved pumpkins.

What jumps out at me though is just how exciting these little experiences are to my children. They live in the present—moment to moment. And that makes little things like carving pumpkins so much fun. Both for them and for me.

Indeed, seeing life through the eyes of a child is magical.

Next on the docket is a trip to the nearby apple orchard. We’re going to pick a bunch of apples and then make homemade apple cider. And I promised my boy he could add a little cinnamon and sugar to the mix.

Changing gears…

Yesterday I mentioned that I’m thinking about creating an “incubator” program for The Phoenician League. In the finance space, the term incubator typically refers to a program that helps early stage start-ups get off the ground.

So I’m thinking… why don’t we do that for regular investors?

Why don’t we put together a program that will help people shore up their finances and attain financial security by building a solid investment portfolio—so they will then be ready to start building passive income with us in The Phoenician League…?

I’ve got the gears turning on this idea now. I’m still working on exactly what it should look like though, and I’d love your feedback. Do you see a need for such a program out there? Is this something you think would be valuable to people?

Please let me know. You can respond directly to this email. All thoughts and feedback are most appreciated.

Let’s leave it there for today. I’ll be back on Monday with another report from the Virginia frontier… and perhaps more on the incubator idea. See you then.

-Joe Withrow

P.S. The incubator idea came to me after I did a Q&A session with the legendary Tom Woods last week. If you missed it, you can find a replay right here: Q&A Session

Fall is upon us in the mountains…

Fall is upon us up here in the mountains of Virginia. This is by far my favorite time of year.

Humidity has disappeared. Mist slowly rolls across the mountains each morning. A cool breeze blows from the west. The leaves are beginning to turn yellow, orange, and red—one by one.

It’s simply amazing. And invigorating. Every day I say a silent prayer of thankfulness. I’m thankful to be here in this place at this time.

This is my first note to you in over a week. We’ve been busy putting together our first real marketing campaign for our trail-blazing investment membership The Phoenician League. Amidst the hustle and bustle I just haven’t found time to write.

That’s on me. But I’m happy to say that I’ve learned some valuable lessons these past few weeks. The biggest of which is this…

I did a Questions & Answers (Q&A) session with the great Tom Woods last week.

Old Woods has written countless books on history and economics. And he has a brand-new book coming out soon… and it’s going to open some eyes.

Woods also put together the Liberty Classroom program that I gush over from time to time in these pages. That program is the education I wish I received in high school and college.

My Q&A session with Tom was an absolute blast. And it was a great promotion for The Phoenician League. But it helped me realize that I’m trying to do way too much in a single program.

As constructed, The Phoenician League is a one-stop shop for anyone interested in securing their finances, broadening their investments, and building passive income with real estate.

That’s not going to change.

But what I realized is that we need a more focused incubator program too. Something that focuses on helping people get their finances and investments in order first—before jumping into the real estate arena.

In other words, we need a program that’s laser-focused on financial security. We have to get that in place first before we can start to think about financial independence.

The great news is that this is something we’re already positioned to provide. And we could offer such a service at a drastically lower price point compared to The Phoenician League.

I’ll be back tomorrow with more news of Autumn descending upon the Virginian frontier… and with more thoughts on what the new program could look like. But for today, I would like your input…

You’ve seen our marketing for The Phoenician League. Does my vision for a focused financial incubator program sound worthwhile to you?

Is this something you would be interested in? Is this something you think may be valuable to people?

Please let me know. You can reply directly to this email.

Oh, and if you would like to view my Q&A session with Tom Woods, you can find it right here: Q&A Session

See you tomorrow.

Redefining Retirement

We’ve been talking all week about the need to shift our approach to personal finance and retirement planning. The Age of Paper Wealth has ended… and what worked reasonably well the last forty years is not likely to work well going forward.

Yesterday, we dived deep into the art of asset allocation. And we pointed out that if we want true financial security, a robust asset allocation model is how we get it.

If that narrative shifted your perspective, brace yourself, because today we’ll be challenging a deep-seated notion even further. The entire idea of retirement.

When we say ‘retirement plan’, what’s the first thing that comes to mind?

For most, it’s a magic number. Maybe it’s $1 million. Maybe it’s $5 million. Maybe even more…

We’ve been conditioned to believe that if we can just hit our number, we’ll be able to retire early and finally be free from the job. We can hit the golf course in the morning and lounge by the pool in the evening.

But I have to ask… Have we ever stopped to question the very foundation of this idea? Is it really necessary to compartmentalize our life like this?

Let’s consider Mike W. for a minute. Mike was the very first member of our investment membership The Phoenician League. In fact, Mike helped me pioneer the approach we advocate within the membership.

Starting from nothing, Mike built a passive income stream of over $4,000 monthly. All in just a few years—using our approach to “retirement”.

Translate that into a yearly figure, and we’re looking at over $48,000. That’s not eye-popping. But it’s nothing to sneeze at either. Who wouldn’t want an extra $48k coming at them every year?

Plus, Mike’s just getting started. He will continue to grow his passive income year after year after year.

Now, if Mike had utilized Retirement Inc.’s magic number approach, where would he be today?

That of course would depend on how his financial portfolio performed—which we can’t possibly know. But what we can know for sure is this: with their approach Mike would have no passive income today.

Then if Mike needed to tap into his retirement funds, he would have to sell some assets and pay taxes on the proceeds. Talk about a fragile model. You can only do this so many times before you’re out of money. Then everything you spent your life working for is gone.

But with passive income streams, the concept of ‘running out’ becomes obsolete. As does the entire idea of retirement.

This isn’t just theory. It’s a revolution in financial planning.

The concept of retirement is rooted in an era gone by. It’s based on a time when pensions and fixed incomes were the norm. What’s more, it was designed to kick old people out of the work force to make way for the next generation of workers.

In our current economic climate, with its uncertainties and volatility, wouldn’t it be wiser to aim for continuous streams of income, rather than banking on a lump sum that might or might not last you through your sunset years?

That’s not to diminish the importance of savings. But imagine a scenario where instead of chasing a magic number, you cultivated multiple streams of passive income. In this narrative, ‘retirement’ isn’t an end-goal but rather an ongoing journey of financial stability and growth.

It’s about changing gears from saving for retirement to investing for income. With passive income, the concept of retirement fades away. Instead, we witness the dawning of financial freedom, where you’re not bound by age or a set figure in your bank or brokerage account.

Now, this shift in mindset doesn’t come without its challenges. It requires guidance, mentorship, a network, and above all, action. This is where The Phoenician League shines.

We’re not just about information; we’re about transformation. And implementation. Our model helps members transition from the conventional to the revolutionary. Our network and community provide the tools and support to make this shift seamless and profitable.

Remember, many of our members, like Mike W., have started building passive income within just a month or two of implementing our approach. You could be one of them.

As we gear up to open our doors to the wider public next month, a window of opportunity presents itself for those who seek a different path—one where retirement isn’t the destination, but financial freedom is. If you want to be part of this revolution, now’s the time.

Join our waitlist today at The Phoenician League Membership Platform to lock in today’s rates. We’ll be in touch very soon.

Crafting Financial Security in an Uncertain Economic Climate

Yesterday we touched on the inevitable fall of the Age of Paper Wealth. And we pointed out that it will inevitably lead to a renaissance for real assets. Especially those that produce cash flow.

Today, let’s take it a step further. Let’s discuss how asset allocation can be a game changer in these unpredictable economic times.

Asset allocation is the art of diversifying investments. And I mean true diversity here.

The CNBC definition of diversity is to buy stocks across different industries. Our definition is to build a portfolio around multiple asset classes. This is critical for the economic climate we now find ourselves in.

Consider this: What’s the best way to navigate a storm? By putting all your cargo in one part of the ship? Or by evenly distributing it to ensure balance?

The same logic applies to personal finance. Diversifying your investments across various assets can be a buffer against financial storms. This is how we cope with rising interest rates and volatile stock prices.

But here’s the thing – all assets are not created equal.

Different assets respond differently to market forces, geopolitical events, and economic cycles. Hence, the art of asset allocation ensures that we’re not just banking on one star. Instead, we’re creating a constellation of investments that will persevere no matter what the markets throw at us.

So, how do you begin to craft this art?

It starts with the vision. We need to sit down and draw up a well-defined asset allocation model. It defines exactly which assets we want in our portfolio. And then our model determines how much money we’re going to allocate to each particular asset.

From there, we must know how and where to acquire those assets. And that’s where having a network of trusted experts becomes critical.

Enter The Phoenician League.

The Phoenician League is an investment membership like no other out there. We provide our members with the knowledge, tools, connections, and support they need to craft financial security and ultimately financial independence.

And make no mistake about it – we don’t simply provide information. At The Phoenician League, we specialize in implementation.

We have a turn-key system in place that anyone can plug into. Constructing your asset allocation model and building passive income is just a matter of tapping into our existing infrastructure.

What’s more, the community aspect of The Phoenician League plays a pivotal role.

We have a core group of like-minded members who, like you, are committed to achieving financial independence. We support each other. We share expertise and experiences. And we often provide each other with fresh perspectives on our monthly calls. That’s an invaluable resource in a journey filled with decisions.

You see, the real strength of The Phoenician League isn’t just the assets we introduce our members to. It’s the holistic environment we provide.

This is a place where you get not only a steady stream of investment opportunities but also access to financial professionals whose counsel you can trust. And let’s not forget the camaraderie of a community that’s walking the same path as you.

In a world replete with uncertainties, your financial security shouldn’t be left to chance. With the right asset allocation strategy and the right network, financial success is easier than ever before. There’s no reason why everybody shouldn’t be the master of their own financial destiny.

And here’s the best part…

The Phoenician League will open its doors to the general public next month. We’ll have to raise our membership rates substantially when we do. But before then, we would like to extend an invitation to those on our wait list at today’s much lower membership rate.

And I should add, once you lock in your rate, it will never change. That’s our commitment to you.

So if you would like to learn more about our investment membership, please join our wait list today. You can do so right here: The Phoenician League Membership Platform

We’ll follow up soon with more information. Here’s to your prosperous future!
