The streaming platform is not setting aside money for taxes for you.

So when you file taxes next year and you owe $65,000 to the IRS, like make sure you have that $65,000 in a savings account.
podcast-host
Do your quarterlies, right?
podcast-host
Do a quarterly tax estimate.
podcast-host
You know, give the IRS $20,000, $30,000.
podcast-host
And say, here you go, right?
podcast-host
Because the last thing you want to do is owe IRS money.
podcast-host
You never want to owe them money.
podcast-host
So the next piece of you know, this I want to dig into is yeah, that 10% interest, it's it's it's high interest, right?
podcast-host
I mean, I would argue that that's high interest.
podcast-host
So here's the thing if you can go back and refinance your student loans, do that.
podcast-host
If you can get them down to five, six, seven percent, that changes this entire equation because you
podcast-host
Can keep around a five and a half, six and a half percent student loan much longer than you can keep around a 10% student loan.
podcast-host
And the reason I say that is because you know, year to date, the S P 500 is up 10.5%, but inflation right now is running at about 3.5%.
podcast-host
And so that means a real return of 7% right now is the S P 500.
podcast-host
And so what I'm trying to get at is 7% over here for money is invested, 10% interest.
podcast-host
You're being charged to pay off your student loans, can't outinvest high interest debt, right?
podcast-host
You got to figure that out.
podcast-host
So if you can't refinance these student loans at a five and a half, six and a half percent interest rate, then yeah, it's one of those things where listen, beef up that emergency fund, max out that Roth IRA, continue to max out that Roth IRA, continue to keep that emergency fund beefed up, but everything else, pay off those student loans.
podcast-host
I mean, if you made a quarter million dollars this year, you might.
