quote:Applicant’s SOR alleges nearly $70,000 in delinquents debts, for credit cards, a repossessed vehicle, a disputed rental agreement, etc. Applicant denied certain debts and attributed others to identify theft. Applicant did not provide documentary evidence of the basis for his disputes nor did he demonstrate that any of the SOR debts had been paid. In addition, Applicant and his wife purchased a house as an investment. He contended that the second mortgage on the house was sold and that he did not know whom to pay, so he advised his wife to make no payments until someone contacted them. The lender foreclosed on the house. This debt was not alleged in the SOR. The Judge stated that she was considering it for limited purposes, such as mitigation, the whole-person

quote:Applicant did not file Federal or state income tax returns for nine years. In addition she owes back taxes to the IRS.1 The IRS filed a notice of intent to levy her state tax refunds or other property to satisfy her debt. Applicant attributed her problems to stress and anxiety following a marital separation. She stopped filing returns because of her concern about not being able to pay her tax debt. In August 2016, Applicant requested an installment agreement from the IRS. That agency approved an agreement whereby Applicant would pay $100 each month toward the satisfaction of her debt. Applicant submitted evidence of one payment in October 2016. Although Applicant believes that she owes no tax to her state, she has not contacted state authorities or filed her state tax returns. You should probably not ignore the tax man when your job requires security clearance.

http://ogc.osd.mil/doha/industrial/07-00532.h1.pdfquote:Federal and state tax authorities are pursuing Applicant for nearly $200,000 in deficiency amounts for tax years 2002, 2003, and 2004. In an audit in 2007, the IRS concluded that Applicant’s horse business is a hobby or not-for-profit business and determined he was not entitled to claim business expenses for those three years. Applicant disagrees and contends that his horse business is a viable, for-profit business. quote:This case stems from Applicant’s horse business—which is separate from his employment in the defense industry—and an ongoing tax dispute. The business breeds, raises, trains, competes, and sells reining horses and working cow horses, and it currently has approximately 25 horses available for sale (Exhibit B). Applicant estimates that he has invested approximately $600,000 of his own money into the business (R. 32). The business did not show a profit for 2002, 2003, and 2004, the tax years in question. It had a profit of less than $10,000 in 2006, and Applicant expects to show a larger profit in 2007.

quote:On 12 October 1983, Applicant shoplifted one pound of cheese on a dare from a friend; he was arrested and spent the night in jail--because he had no identification on him. On 19 May 1986, Applicant and his spouse filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, listing $9,214.20 in debts; the debts were discharged on 6 October 1986 (G.E. 4). Applicant and his spouse had overextended themselves and were poor money managers (G.E. 2). After the discharge in bankruptcy, their money management did not improve. In 1990, a creditor garnished Applicant's wages to pay a $775.15 debts that Applicant owed (G.E. 5). By 1993, Applicant was neglecting to pay his bills on time (G.E. 2). In January 1994, Applicant stole $17.00 from a petty cash drawer at his employer;(2) Applicant was caught on videotape. When confronted, Applicant initially denied wrongdoing, but when confronted with the videotape, admitted his guilt; on 20 January 1994, the company fired Applicant (G.E. 6).

This is from a reddit post about people who work non-standard jobs. While this guy claims to have made a lot of money and I can't actually dispute that, thus making this not actually BWM yet, on the other hand... come on:quote:I trade bitcoin, ethereum and other cryptocurrencies full-time. I left my last job more than 3 years ago to do this. It was never my plan - an interest turned into a hobby which turned into a job. You need intrinsic motivation to do something like this, and a very unique psychology I think. I have talked with hundreds of traders, successful and broken over the years. What drove a lot of them is a love for the market and a very deep understanding of the market itself. Intrinsic motivation can be very powerful.

I stand atop the smoldering ruins of my debts, bankruptcies strewn around like so many leaves of the autumn. I look up and state "I dunno what happened lol". The adjudication of my life is dispassionately delivered from on high. Clearance Denied. I would like to join in and nominate Horsemaster Clearanceman for a wonderhanger.

http://ogc.osd.mil/doha/industrial/13-01024.h1.pdfquote:Applicant worked in support of NASA from 1985 until 2011, and by the time she was laid off in May 2011, she was earning approximately $150,000 per year. In 2002, being financially secure in her job, she developed a life-long horse hobby into an equine breeding business as a sideline. She purchased several rental houses and built the facility on a ten and one-half acre site, stocked it with three stallions and several brood mares, and over the next several years, purchased additional adjacent land, purchased equipment, and hired employees. At one point, she had 55 horses in her facility. In 2006, Applicant expanded her operation with the intention of producing and selling an increased number of foals per year. The production doubled from 6 to 12 foals. The acreage was up to about 120 acres. quote:There was nothing unusual about Applicant’s finances until about 2007 – 2008, when “the bottom fell out of the economy” and people starting decreasing their expenditures on luxuries like hunt clubs and thoroughbreds.Renters were unable to continue making their monthly rental payments, and either moved out or were evicted. Her horses still had to eat and be maintained. During this period, while loading horses, Applicant was injured when she was “slam-dunked” into the ground, resulting in her requiring neck surgery and being somewhat incapacitated for seven or eight months. quote:Until she could secure another good job, she accepted a much lower paying job with an equine hospital about 70 miles away in another state, where she earned $24,000 per year. quote:The president of the local bank first met Applicant through fox hunting, but subsequently assisted her in financing various real estate transactions over the years.

There are various rules of thumb about how much you should budget each year for home maintenance, but 1-2% of the home value is an estimate that seems reasonable to me. That sounds like a lot of house for someone not making very much money.
