Tax and Money Mastery Cut taxes, crush debt, and grow your money — made simple
Are you tired of feeling lost when it comes to your money? Wondering how to get real tax help or how to legally pay less to the IRS? Have you ever asked, “How do I increase my income, save more for retirement, or finally get out of debt?” You’re not alone — and you’re in the right place.
Welcome to Tax and Money Mastery, the podcast that makes taxes and finances simple, strategic, and surprisingly empowering. Each episode breaks down complex topics like tax-saving strategies, debt elimination, business write-offs, and wealth-building methods into practical, easy-to-follow steps. You’ll learn how to keep more of what you earn, create lasting financial security, and use the tax code to your advantage — all while avoiding costly mistakes.
Whether you’re a business owner, investor, or everyday taxpayer, this show helps you uncover the tools and tactics that the wealthy use to grow and protect their money. You’ll discover how to structure your income efficiently, find hidden deductions, and prepare for retirement without draining your bank account. And if you owe the IRS or feel overwhelmed by debt, we’ll share proven strategies to help you take control and move forward with confidence.
I’m your host, Ashley Freeman, and my journey into taxes began back in the early 2000s when I launched my first business as a real estate investor. I was a new baby Christian who was scared to death as a single mom with 3 children who depended on me for support. At first, taxes were intimidating — but soon, I realized they were like a game. The more I learned the rules, the easier it became to win. I mastered strategies that allowed me to make over $300,000 per year and still get a tax refund instead of paying more to the IRS. Now, I’m here to share what I’ve learned so you can do the same.
Let’s be honest — most people would rather get a root canal than talk about taxes. The IRS letters pile up in the mail, and suddenly you’re playing a game of “peekaboo” with your mailbox. Or maybe you’ve stared at your tax return thinking, “Why does it feel like the more I make, the less I keep?”
I get it — I’ve been there. Taxes used to confuse me too… until I realized they’re just like Monopoly. Once you learn the rules, you stop landing on “Go to Jail” and start collecting $200 every time you pass “Go.” I am known by my CPA friends as the self proclaimed “Shoebox Receipt Girl.” If I can do it, you can too!
