They took care of us, but what do we do when it's time to take care of them?

Can you help care for your aging parents or grandparents, while also taking care of your kids? Do you find yourself a part of the "sandwich generation?"

In this week's episode of the Crushing Debt Podcast, Shawn & George discuss the hidden costs and other pitfalls of helping the older generation, while still potentially taking care of a younger generation, and all while maintaining your sanity!

We discuss topics like:

• Rising Medical Bills;
• Preventing Fraud and other Scams;
• Assisting with Financing and Budgeting;
• Whether you should be on your parents' bank accounts;
• Whether you should be on the title to your parents' home;
• How to responsibly spend savings or retirement; and
• What to do when siblings are involved.

Did you get your 2024 Company Return filed on time in March, or at least get that extension filed?

Did you already file your 2024 Personal Return, or are you waiting until the April deadline?

What happens when you owe the IRS?

This week's guest is Stephen Weisberg, who has over 10 years of experience representing individuals, businesses, and their owners with tax debt issues, audits, and other problems with the IRS and state taxes. Stephen is the lead attorney and founder of The W Tax Group. He works directly with clients and lead a team of attorneys, accountants, and administrative staff to help those with tax debt and other issues with the IRS or the state obtain the best possible outcomes.

Shawn & Stephen talk about how tax obligations are created by:

• Improper Assessments
• Audits
• Unpaid taxes at the Federal and State levels
• Unpaid payroll taxes and the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty
• Unfiled Returns

Plus we talk about some strategies for relieving the taxpayer from some of that debt, including negotiations with the IRS and Bankruptcy!

Are you single and looking to date?

How do you manage your budget and expenses while trying to put yourself out there to find a new friend, a new relationship, a new romance?

On this week's epsidoe, Shawn & George talk about your budget and dating (whether single or dates with your spouse). Some do's and dont's:

• DO budget
• DON'T fake what you cannot afford
• DO be upfront about your money, your budget and your money goals
• DON'T loan someone money (regardless of how much you love them)
• DO take "budget friendly" dates
• DON'T ignore their red flags when it comes to money

Remember, not only does dating require the cost of the date itself, but there are other expenses - like the cost of the dating apps, if you choose that route.  There's also the question of when you bring up money - the first date?  second?  first month?  first year?

How does a single mom, with a minor child, recover from overwhelming debt?

Does more income, and multiple businesses solve financial problems?

On this week's episode of the Crushing Debt Podcast, Shawn & George talk to Shannon Miller-Lutz, the founder of SML Coaching, who empowers individuals to shift their mindset, overcome obstacles, and take bold action toward success.
