Don't Forget To Open Your Tax Gift Under The Christmas Tree

Saturday, December 13, 2025

It’s the most wonderful (and expensive) time of the year… but hosts Greg Elie and Patti Jaynes are here to remind you that one of the biggest gifts you’ll get this Christmas isn’t wrapped in shiny paper — it’s the still-in-effect Trump Tax Cuts (the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017) that are keeping millions of Americans in historically low tax brackets. In this warm, laughter-filled Christmas special, the duo explains why today’s tax rates are some of the lowest in decades and why waiting until 2026 could mean paying thousands more.

In this festive (and tax-smart) episode of My Money Is Safe with Greg Elie, you’ll hear:

  • How to “unwrap” the gift with smart Roth conversion strategies done in steps (not all at once!) so you stay in the 12% or 22% bracket
  • Why 2025 could be your last great chance before provisions sunset in 2026
  • Plus, Greg singing with Josh Groban & Bing Crosby, wild volcano stories, and Patti’s touching story of taking her beloved mother to see the Polar Express movie and ride the real Polar Express train in North Carolina – one of her final, cherished adventures with her mom

Call the Prosperity Group today at 1-800-808-5514 or go to mymoneyissafe.com for your no-cost tax strategy session.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Prosperity Group — may your holidays be bright and your taxes stay low!

Are You Taking Advantage of The Trump Tax Cuts?

Saturday, December 6, 2025

With markets sitting at all-time highs and unsettling similarities to 2007 emerging, Greg Elie and Patti Jaynes of the Prosperity Group deliver a timely warning to anyone approaching retirement. They reveal how the extended Trump-era tax cuts have created one of the most powerful — and temporary — tax-saving windows retirees may ever see, and why relying solely on traditional 401(k)/IRA strategies can quietly build a massive future tax bill.

In this episode of My Money is Safe with Greg Elie, Greg and Patti break down practical steps you can take right now while tax rates are still historically low, including in-service rollovers, strategic Roth conversions, and lesser-known tools like the “P-Slip” strategy and 3-for-1 leverage vehicles that can add 20–45% bonus money to your accounts.

If your advisor isn’t discussing Roth strategies, conversion bonuses, or tax-free income planning for 2025 and beyond, you may be leaving significant wealth on the table. To learn more, visit mymoneyisafe.com or call 800-808-5514.
