About the Book

Tired of paying too much in taxes and feeling like the system is stacked against you? The Smart Family Tax Guide: 101 Ways to Keep More of What You Earn is your go-to guide for keeping more of your hard-earned money. Written in plain language and filled with real-life examples, this book empowers working families with practical strategies—from deductions and credits to smart retirement moves and tax-free accounts.

This book is divided into five key parts, each targeting a cornerstone of middle-class financial empowerment: financial vision board, retirement and family legacy plan, family small business, family real estate investment, and family foundation. The book applies a storytelling approach, with each chapter ending with ten or more actionable tax tips tailored for real-life execution.

Early Praises

“This book is a spiritual and financial blueprint, brilliantly merging vision, clarity, and action. In the tradition of transformational guides like The Soul of Prosperity, Mike Nie invites you to create not just a vision board—but a living covenant with your family’s financial future. Through stories, practical steps, and heartfelt reflection, this work reminds us: we don’t just build wealth—we become it.”

- Rev. Jim Webb, Author of Create a Self-Manifesting Vision Board and The Soul of Prosperity

“Mike Nie’s book “The Smart Family Tax Guide: 101 Ways to Keep More of What You Earn,” is more than a guide — it’s a blueprint for middle-class families who want clarity, control, and confidence in their financial journey. With the heart of a father and the mind of a strategist, Mike shows how vision boards aren’t just for dreamers — they are tools for planners. Every chapter turns tax laws into actionable wealth-building steps. This book reflects what I’ve always believed: true financial planning starts with vision and ends with results.”

“This book is the roadmap I wish every family had before sitting across from me. Mike Nie breaks down how to use life insurance not just as protection, but as a wealth-building vehicle—clearly, ethically, and powerfully. He shows families how to stop leaking money to taxes and banks, and instead build generational wealth from the inside out. It’s not about selling policies—it’s about giving your dollars a job, anchored to your vision and values. Every chapter helps you see your money as a partner in your family’s future.”

The Author

As a CPA with over 25 years of experience in finance, tax, and accounting, I wrote The Smart Family Tax Guide: 101 Ways to Keep More of What You Earn to fill a critical gap I’ve observed in the profession—while many CPAs act as information processors, few serve as true tax advisors. This book is my effort to change that by translating complex tax laws into practical, empowering strategies that help hardworking middle-class families build wealth, retire early, and create lasting legacies through ethical, informed tax planning.
