Making money is one thing. **Keeping it, protecting it, and passing it down is another.** In this special Inside the Vault panel, Ash Cash sits down with **Chenise Anderson, Carlton Dennis, and Shaquer Brooks aka Miss Business** to break down how wealthy families and business owners legally reduce taxes, protect assets, and build wealth that can last for generations. From **tax planning and business deductions to real estate depreciation, cost segregation, trusts, retirement accounts, family foundations, and the Augusta Rule**, this conversation goes far beyond filing a tax return once a year. The panel explains why wealthy people approach taxes proactively instead of waiting until tax season, why business owners and investors may have access to different strategies than W-2 earners, and why understanding where your income comes from matters before choosing a tax strategy. Pasted text Carlton breaks down real estate depreciation, cost segregation, short-term rentals, and the Augusta Rule. Chenise explains revocable vs. irrevocable trusts, asset protection, estate planning, dynasty trusts, and the concept of **“own nothing, control everything.”** Miss Business explains tax planning, hiring your children, retirement contributions, entity structure, and why wealthy people build a team instead of relying on one professional.
