Welcome to a new week and a new theme here on the One Minute Retirement Tip! This week, 

I’m talking about year-end tax-saving charitable giving tips! How you can take advantage of some recent changes with the tax cuts and jobs act, otherwise known as the Trump tax cuts, to give more to the causes that are meaningful to you, and do so in a tax-efficient way. 

If you want to give smarter, then be sure to listen this week, because I’m talking about everything from qualified charitable distributions to charitable bunching to donor-advised funds… all to help you be generous, do good, and cut your tax bill all at the same time. 

Before I send you off into your day, I just want to acknowledge that today is a very special day. Day 365 of the One Minute Retirement Tip. A year ago today these daily tips were started on a whim, and much to my surprise, I am still here talking at you a year later. I  got the idea to do a daily retirement tip from my buddy Nick True, and after a frenzied 2 weeks figuring out everything from where to record and how to navigate podcast hosting to compressing audio files, the One Minute Retirement Tip was born. 

And thank you for listening and making these tips a part of your day. I have been so motivated and inspired by the success the podcast has already had, and I am so overjoyed by your reviews and emails with your comments that these tips are making a difference.

I very much appreciate you, and I love bringing you daily tips to help make your journey to retirement within reach. And I hope to continue to bring you these tips for years to come! I know I’m not retiring any time soon, but I hope you are!

That’s it for today, thanks for listening. My name is Ashley Micciche...and this is the One Minute Retirement Tip.
