There’s an old saying that goes, “Nothing in life is certain except death and taxes.” Yet the only thing certain about taxes is that we’re going to have them and not how much they’re going to be. In today’s episode, we’ll explore a thought-provoking blog post that discusses where to save your money if you’re concerned about future tax rates.
