A listener of the podcast, who does not want to be identified, asked me for help because he filed a tax return and just realized that he would have to pay about 20,000 euros to the IRS. He doesn't have that money. What would you do if you were him? Pedro Anderson responds to the Contas Poupança podcast

Do you know how to prevent this situation from happening? And where can you get the money to pay off this debt for financing?

The answer – and a warning so it never happens to you – is in this week's episode.

“Let's do the math” are mid-week “bonus” episodes where I answer your simple, straightforward questions in a more concise way. None of the questions are too basic.

The worst thing that can happen is to not know anything about personal finances, be embarrassed to ask, and make poor decisions (or no decisions at all) because of this lack of information.
