It's all about money to me (shocking, being the Jew.)

Income taxes on IRA withdrawals and property taxes are paramount. I'll figure the rest of the stuff out. I can live in my area and pay 3.6% in property taxes, or move 1000m away and pay 1.5% in taxes. And certain counties (FU Fort Bend) will increase your valuation to the max the state permits (10% a year,) while the county a half mile away will increase it under 1%, or decrease it.

Based on what you like, it sounds like the Mediterranean is the place for you. Protected water, cheap property in Bosnia and other countries around there. Start recording House Hunters International for Southern Europe. Yes, there is a level of BS to it, but you do get more of a taste for life than most TD posters have is worth TV minutes.

Thank Dodd-Frank.

Tax on meal was 13.7%, which is beyond what is mandated by state and local law.

Average transaction fees for credit is 3.5%, which makes it pretty close to GA state tax plus transaction fees. Those points aren't free, genius.

I bet had I paid with cash they still would have hidden a ‘fee’ in the taxes.

Yes, because your 22 year old servers would have encountered two people paying with cash in their entire tenure with whatever shithole (including near fine dining) you were eating at. It's not a conspiracy, they just don't know what the frick they are doing.

My Grandmother taught me how to sew a button on younger than that, accompanied by tirades about useless men.

Basic skills not learned by men, turn them into "happy wife, happy life," sycophants.

Those MFers sent me a check equal to our quarterly payment, with no explanation. It seemed suspicious. We cashed it, and put it in savings. Seven months later, the IRS said they erred, and we owed them the amount they fricking sent us, with interest and penalties.

It’s amazing what young men are capable of if they are held accountable.

The amount of shite you can train high school dropouts (not all, but some) to do, in the military is astounding. The military has truly come close to perfection on taking a crayon eating idiot and turning him into someone that maintains LAVs is awesome. We train these dipshits to run mortars, too. And they are fricking fantastic about it.

Funny how you didn't mention women, though. Any expectations there?

I know. quickest way to annihilate them was having a Latina (ex wife not so much) negotiatie.

Why did he apply for a visa in Jerusalem? Oh, because Palestine isn't a fricking country. Where does he get deported to? :lol:

fricking zombies. And soft arse moms enabled this needing to be able to "get in touch, just in case" in elementary and junior high. That used to be called, "call the school office." Life360 has fricked up every kid under 30.

LSUCIA program taught me a lot.

Dr. Sumners screwed a lot of people, according to my ex wife, with his "selection" system for employer bids (or whatever the hell he did.)

Big 3 used to teach you a lot about being a professional (KPMG explicitly excluded.)

Your price is lower if you speak Spanish. Have a second contractor you can call ready to reference. Or, have your maid negotiate with them. A Colombian maid will absolutely rip apart a Mexican trying to steal from you.
