Episode 16: “The Psychology of Taxes: Avoidance, Resentment, and Empowered Planning”

In this episode, Greg Wagner explores the emotional undercurrent of tax season—why taxes trigger such strong feelings of avoidance, resentment, and shame, and how those reactions impact our financial decisions. This isn’t just a discussion about Roth IRAs and tax-loss harvesting—though those come up too—it’s an invitation to examine how we relate to control, power, and fairness through the lens of taxation. Greg shares personal stories and practical strategies for creating a tax-savvy investment approach that reflects both your values and long-term goals. The result? Not just better returns, but a sense of agency and peace of mind.
