Do you use a Mac? If so try using Voiceover. It takes some getting used to and if you’re used to being a speedwhiz on the keyboard…you may find it frustratingly slow but I found it helpful when I lost use of one of my hands for a week.

This isn’t the advice you’re looking for, but after decades of being lectured about how I didn’t understand where half of my family was “coming from” in their continuously toxic, belittling criticisms of me, my spouse, our family, where we

Standard disclaimer: not a lawyer, consult someone familiar with immigration law but… …please dear g–d don’t do this. If you are caught you can be deported and banned from re–entry to the US for anywhere from 5-10 years (on any visa).

Yes, you need better tax advice. Waiting for Republican "tax reform" is like watching Lucy hold the football for Charlie Brown. If you are holding off managing your business cash flow until this "tax reform" is set in m

The designer is going to extract enough money from you to make it worth their time to work on the project. If you refuse to pay for meeting time, or reduce the amount you'll pay for meeting time, they'll just translate that loss

I think you need better tax advice. An LLC only pays taxes if it has elected to be treated as a C corp by the IRS, otherwise income & losses pass through to the members. An C or S corp only makes sense as a sole-proprietor if you have s

Apple keeps a lot of its cash “overseas” because of 30+ years of tax policy changes to shift the tax burden from businesses to individuals. As long as business can leverage “overseas” cash assets to issue debt in the US without paying taxes

Time is absolutely more valuable than money, which is why I focus on making as much as possible for a few hours a month. If you want to accumulate wealth, focus less on how much money you pay in taxes, and more on how to make the money you

So, you don't need any public services at all? I'm not losing money, I'm contracting out a variety of services I'd otherwise have to pay for.

Politically I vote Democratic at the Federal level and a mix between Democrats and Republicans at State/local level. That's shifted in recent years as the GOP has purged moderates out of the NY State party. I think we should eith

Mortgage interest is deductible to a point, it starts to phase out at certain income levels, and if you're in alternative-minimum-tax land it's diminished even more. R/E tax is also deductible. We “extracted” enough from sale

I don't think 10k a month is a reasonable cost of living. It's just what we pay. Prior to buying a co–op we were paying $8900/month in rent for a 900 square foot two bedroom. Manhattan is certainly an expensive choice to liv

It's irrelevant whether or not you think it's competitive to your employer's business. You can't have any confidence that your project will be "safe". If it has any value, your employer will make the call on
