Greetings from Omaha,
As our kids get older, December feels busier and busier each year. I’m sure many of you can relate; kids’ basketball games, holiday parties, apparently everyone in the house getting sick…it’s the most wonderful time of the year! In all seriousness, it’s a busy yet meaningful season—a time to celebrate and get ready for what’s next. At Mint Hill, we’re focused on helping clients wrap up 2024 strong and prepare for a successful start to 2025.
This month’s newsletter centers on a few year-end tax planning ideas, along with some pieces on making the most of your travel rewards this winter and the most financially efficient ways to give to loved ones during the holiday season.
As always, we’re here to help you finish the year strong. If there’s anything on your mind, don’t hesitate to reach out.
Wishing you a merry Christmas and a bright start to the new year!
Until next time,
Tyler Anderson
