Description
You may have seen a video telling you the IRS is watching your savings and that you need to move your money now. In this video, I break down the three real federal rules behind that claim, with the actual numbers, so you can tell fact from fear.
You'll learn:
• The real $10,000 cash reporting rule — and why it doesn't apply to your Social Security deposit or paycheck
• The $600 payment app rumor that caused genuine panic (and was permanently reversed in 2025)
• What FDIC insurance actually covers — and how a married couple can have $1 million insured at one bank
• Why "move your money now" is the wrong question to ask
• The free FDIC tool that shows your exact insured amount
