Key Takeaway
You don't have to choose between your financial goals. Start by taking advantage of available employer benefits, then balance your remaining savings between short-term priorities and long-term financial growth. Keep money needed in the near term in an appropriate low-risk option, and consider the tax implications before using long-term savings.

It’s best to plan your tax strategy even before purchasing a boat by deciding on how to handle the sales tax on this high-end purchase. Some states have yearly property taxes on boats that may be more costly than sales and use taxes over the years. You need to think about:

  • Business Commuting deduction
  • Can you take a primary or secondary home deduction?
  • Should You Put Your Boat in an LLC?
  • 179 deduction
  • Should you consider an offshore closing at purchase?
