quote:OK, we finally got the insurance check from my mother-in-law's life insurance policy last week. This week, MIL's sister comes out and says she lent money to her, and would like it back. Nothing in writing, nobody knew anything about it. I told m'lady that I wouldn't pay it if it were me, but of course that will make family gatherings at Christmas/Thanksgiving/etc. a little awkward. Realistically, it would prolly mean we wouldn't be doing anything with my wife's side of the family anymore if we didn't give it to her. From another message board. Guy's MIL dies and his wife gets a life insurance payout. He said the MIL was asking for 5% his total payout for the money she 'lent' and adds later that she also wanted 5% from his wife's sister. Can't decide if it's GWM or BWM to pay the extortion and make her go away

Sure it might make family gatherings odd, but honestly how often do they think they're going to see the aunt unless the grandparents are still alive. Maybe my family is weird, but we gathered around the grandparents when they were alive and then around where-ever our parents were. Once my mom is gone, I'm doing my own poo poo for Thanksgiving. Plus they can just lie and say there's no estate left. Burying is expensive.

Bad with money from Quora: What salary do I need to buy a Tesla Model S I can't imagine taking on this amount and variety of debt for anything less than medical treatment for a life threatening illness. Then again, I have been smitten with the Jaguar F Type since it came out. Now I know that I can afford one if I just stop paying my taxes, take a cash advance at 24% interest, stop paying my credit cards, and stop saving for retirement! Quora guy posted:What is a doable salary? In my case, I got my 2012 model S when I was somewhat fresh out of college with a salary of just above $100k. I had $30k saved up. The car + options I wanted (tech package, P85, etc...) would cost around $102k. The banks would only lend me up to $30k. I had about 4 months to come up with the money. Please tell me this isn't real.

You left off the best part, what the ** next to "Turn off tax withholding" refers to: quote:** I did the Math ahead of time and my 2012 taxes would come out to basically $0 assuming I didn't do anything else crazy. How many deductions would you have to make to get a 100k job into a $0 tax bill?

WampaLord posted:You left off the best part, what the ** next to "Turn off tax withholding" refers to: Each deduction translates into approximately $4,000 of income that's excluded from taxes. So claiming 20 deductions is similar to saying that you will have $80,000 of deductions from your gross income. Something he almost certainly did not have when it came time to file. I don't really understand what he meant by the line that starts with "Made 1/3 of my annual post-tax salary..."

The real way to do that is just take out a heloc or otherwise default on a house, fight the court case for 5 years and then hope the bankruptcy trustee doesn't take the car eedit: the realer way is to get a cheap condo with high assessments anywhere but Illinois and rent it on airbnb and never pay the assessments And the realest way is to rent an airbnb place for one night, refuse to leave, change the locks, fight the eviction for a year all while renting it out yourself. mastershakeman fucked around with this message at 20:23 on May 12, 2016 |

I don't think even Wall Street financial shenanigans could make not paying down even a minimum on a high risk, high interest rate loan to pay for a depreciating asset make any sense... Unless the idea is to declare bankruptcy after taking on sufficient credit card debt, but that's the nuclear option last I heard. Strategic defaults make sense on certain loans I suppose. Then again, during the recession people were more willing to default on their mortgage and lose their house than their auto loan and get the car repossessed.

Well yeah it takes a lot longer for foreclosure and for you to be actually removed from the house, plus if you finally do get kicked out, you can sleep in the car. Can't drive the house to work if it's the other way around, and the car is a lot easier to repo.

Can't drive the house to work if it's the other way around, and the car is a lot easier to repo. This, there are places STILL processing backlogged foreclosures after 2008. Realistically you have a couple of years at minimum between the date of your last mortgage payment and a sheriff showing up with a writ of possession.

Is it actually tax fraud to claim too many withholdings reducing your federal withholding? You'd still owe the appropriate amount of taxes, and if you pay by tax day, you shouldn't have any penalties or interest. That's assuming he pays on time in full.

If you owe more than $1,000 and haven't paid in at least what you owed the previous year, then there is a penalty. He will almost certainly owe tax (likely 5 figures) on a $100,000 salary.

Not a Children posted:Isn't the CPA exam supposed to be the most difficult professional exam out there? The reviews are expensive for a reason. Yes to both, but some of the programs are insanely overpriced. Becker, for example, while quite thorough, is upwards of $4,000. For that, you get lectures (not that useful) a physical and e-book, and the real reason: test bank. You can pass using the test bank exclusively. Other programs sell the test banks for anywhere from $50 to $400. I won't even get in to the registration fees... register be able to register to be able to register for a test.
