Hm you could probably get use out of 'floating' i.e. floating loans and also the procedure you have to do about once a year to file a horse's teeth down because if you don't their teeth will grow unevenly and they'll chew their own mouth off while trying to eat, see blood, freak out, and die.

If you don't do this do their teeth just keep growing until they have giant walrus tusks :ohdear:

A lot of domestic horses' health issues arise from stress and/or boredom, and presumably feral horses, despite not having a farrier and a loving horse dentist, are also less likely to break their legs from kicking their stable apart for entertainment or chew their own mouths off or whatever the gently caress.

Let's do the space-time warp again!

Modern domestic horses, especially show/race horses, are pretty much the equivalent of all our stupid dog breeds. Like if you look at purebred dog with whatever hosed inbreeding it has that makes it unable to breathe/breed/run/causes it to sneeze it's eyeballs out and wonder how they survive in the wild, the answer is that they don't - wild dogs don't look like any of those things, which only survive because we expend a great deal of effort into keeping them going. Just like you get pretty stable mutts, actual working horses tend to be less suicidal, and wild horses don't have nearly as many problems.

Although they are also generally much smaller, have fairly drab coats, and less impressive performances.

So my mother was a doctor and she used to tell me that when she was in school one day she snuck in before class because her teacher would do his lectures by writing 5-6 words on the blackboard and just kinda lecture on each topic before going to the next one. Knowing this, she snuck in and wrote SMEGMA on the bottom of the list.

So the teacher finishes the last topic, turns around and says, "And that brings us to... smegma!?"

Welll true wild horses are almost extinct, there are few thousand Przewalski's horses in Mongolia but the closest relatives to domestic stock (tarpans) went extinct in the 1800s. Feral horses are lucky to make it to 10 years old whereas they regularly live into their 20s-30s under human care.

Making 115k / year, still can’t (reasonably) afford an entry level luxury car

quote:

Seeing so many Audi, BMW, Mercedes, hell even Lambos over here in Montreal. I look at Canadian income statistics and according to those I’m part of the top 12%. I’ve always said I’d only use public transport until I’m reasonably able to afford a good quality car as I’ve always been passionate about them but am also very conscientious about my finances and retirement planning. But now, as a single 30 y/o man, I’m starting to think I’ll never be able to do so.

How much money should someone spend on a car? And where is the line between being financially responsible and enjoying good things in life? These are questions that have been lingering in my head for the past month.

I'm the $11,000 annual food budget for a single man

Turbo tax screwed me over [WA]

quote:

I filled my taxes using turbotax. I deducted my house since I use it mostly for filming (I'm a YouTuber) and the software showed me a little green bar saying it was unlikely that I'd be audited.
It lied. According to certain tax laws I didn't know about and Turbotax didn't inform me of, you cannot deduct more than 1/29 of a business property acquisition each year. Turbotax never had a pop-up dialogue that said "Hey you can't claim more that 1/29 that property." Never happened.
I owe the IRS $150k. I think I can pay it off (maybe with a kickstarter or help from my paterons) but I think turbotax is at least partly responsible since it told me I was fine as I got audited. Do I have a case?

His comments are even better. He's deleting a bunch right now.

Someone told him that income from his patreon and kickstarter supporters is taxable too and he said that was "illogical."

He also said the fact that the iRS allows businesses deductions is a trap to screw "the little guy" and "prevent them from growing their business" because who could resist being able to deduct everything?

I get that if you're not too bright and have never heard of accrual basis accounting, then the very idea of amortization can seem weird. But I'm a TurboTax user and Schedule E filer and can confirm TurboTax absolutely walks you through setting up amortization on real property. It just won't stop you from putting garbage numbers into other business expense fields (how could it?). I'll bet that the Schedule C section works exactly the same way and he's not even being honest that TurboTax led him astray.

I get the feeling that he probably wasn't even in the right section for what he was trying to do and was just in TurboTax's home business expense section adding every single component of his house individually as a business expense

I think we've also glossed over the fact that TurboTax just says you're unlikely to get audited, not anything about the results of said audit if it occurs.

I live near a National Guard base and can see the barbed wire perimeter fence from my yardbusiness field so I've deducted the DoD's entire budget.
