My Street Money Live with Louis Barajas

This is a livestream by financial advisor Louis Barajas (MyStreetMoney Live) originally recorded on April 15 (tax day). Barajas gives practical, actionable personal-finance guidance: how to handle missed tax paperwork or request an extension (Form 4868 or automatic local extensions), how to arrange an IRS installment agreement if you can’t pay (Form 9465), and how to adjust withholding using the IRS W-4 app and extra withholding per pay period. He discusses what to do with tax refunds (prioritize values: relationships, experiences, or financial goals), couple-level money management approaches (joint vs separate accounts, communication, and financial therapy), retirement cash-reserve and distribution advice (keep 12–18 months cash available), current short-term savings vehicles (high-yield savings vs CDs; observed online rates around 4–4.5%), and a debt-paydown philosophy that targets highest-interest obligations and uses a “debt dissolver” worksheet to list balances, rates, and minimums.
