This episode of Bookkeepers on Fire brings the heat on business meals, tax rules, and real-world money habits. 🍕📄💥

 Takeaways that might surprise you:

 🥡 Not all meals are taxed — travel meals, team parties, and coffee chats are deducted very differently.

 🖊️ You’ll need more than a receipt — think names, dates, and purpose to keep the IRS happy.

 🎯 A client’s $500/month Starbucks habit was the reason she couldn’t afford private school — until we broke it down. 🎒💡

 🙅‍♀️ You’re not the IRS police — you’re the guide to smarter spending and sustainable success.

 🎧 Give it a listen and discover why good bookkeeping is part education, part reality check.
