Don't be a victim of scams

 In conjunction with the information Todd has each week with the show, he also has written many guides on a variety of topics to supplement some of the more common concerns folks have. I thought I’d share a little about those guides. So, this week let’s look at “Don’t be a victim of Scams”. Topics covered include Signs of a Scam, Security Questions, Scam Targets, Computer scamming, common phone or email scams and tips, Identity Protection and Credit Score and What to do if you have been scammed. Unfortunately, this is one of the most asked for since there’s so many scams around today. You can get your copy by calling 855-22 money, that’s 855-226-6639 or go to yoursafemoneyshow.com.

 Here's what we're working on for this Saturday's (March 15th) Your Safe Money Show.

Filing your taxes

 It is tax time and I’ve been seeing many recommendations from tax experts that you don’t want to wait to file your taxes for 2024. Here’s why: tax identity theft remains a huge problem and the sooner you file the better chance you can block thieves from using your Social Security number to file a fraudulent return. Whether you’re filing early because you’re eager for a refund or want to protect yourself from identity theft, you’ll still need a complete and accurate return to avoid delays. You should always double-check key details like your name, Social Security number, banking information and other filing data. With thousands of IRS layoffs this week, some experts worry the cuts could impact taxpayer service. But your refund shouldn’t be affected if you file an accurate return electronically and select direct deposit for payment. Typically, you can expect the IRS to process your e-filed return within 21 days.

Avoiding finances

 I read that we do some crazy stuff just to avoid finances. One in five Americans would rather spend one hour in jail than work out a five-year budget. 32% would rather go to the DMV than work on a detailed financial plan. 26% would rather talk politics with somebody they disagree with than write a financial plan with a family member. 34% would rather post their most embarrassing photo of themselves on social media than post a screenshot of their account balance. And 27% would rather get stung by a bee than move their money to a new bank. I know that dealing with finances for some folks is the “last” thing they want to do, that’s why procrastination happens as often as it does. If you’ve been listening to the show for a while, you know I can take some of your anxiety away, with a no cost, no obligation appointment.
