I'm Nicole Lapin, the only financial expert you don't need a dictionary to understand.

It's time for some money rehab. So one of my biggest pet peeves is when so-called financial experts encourage people to

sweat the small stuff and tell you to go cut out your morning latte because those little expenses

add up.

I say in the finance world you should actually sweat the big stuff.

I mean why skip the $5 latte when instead you could lower the aPR on your credit card and potentially save thousands of dollars.

Sure, $5 latte does add up, but not like the thousands of dollars of savings to.

In relationships and in life it's the small stuff that matters most.

It's all about the little things.

But in finances, it's all about the big things.

And of all the big things you could sweat,

one of the biggest biggies is taxes.

Lowering your tax burden can change your life.

I know that sounds cringy to say out loud,

but the tax code where you live

seriously affects how much money you hold on to throughout the year. In fact many

savvy business people uproot their lives and move to a more tax

friendly state.

Jeff Bezos, for example, just recently relocated from Washington State to Florida,

this move is expected to save him $430 million in taxes.

Even if you're not a millionaire, setting up routes in a more tax-friendly state can save you a whole lot of money,

so I am not kidding when I say it could change your life.
