you know what? this is utter bullshit. lived by this advice for 30 years or so, stashed a good amount of money, then the storm came, and I lost 90% of it in a very rough year. if I hadn't that, I could have had access to welfare. instead, working hard and saving money put me squarely in the 'have to spend for everything' class, without any benefit. so here's the advice letter I'm gonna write to my gc: hide everything. dodge as much as you can without breaking the letter of the law. go find the most skilled practitioner in tax evasion and have them hide whatever you earn so much you can qualify for welfare, free tuition, college scholarships for low income family for your children etc. being middle class sucks.
