I think the recent labor crunch might help you out. Pretty recently my lab was struggling to find an office person, and I know several law firms which are still looking for an office assistant type person. Not glamorous or super well paid, but if you just want to be at a desk I bet there's options out there. uh, i think i misunderstood the question Wang Commander posted:I make $150k/year in an individual contributor role, and have numerous offers to move into a ~$200k Epitope fucked around with this message at 22:03 on Jan 7, 2022 |

Hadlock posted:Trump rolled out some cool tax breaks for small business owners but I exceed the income limits for that thing. If you pay anyone W2 (including yourself like if you're an s-corp) you can deduct part of that, even if you're over the income limit. There's other ones too I think, but for sure W2

Chargeback the hotel? Definitely not, they rented you the room. Or do you mean the airline ticket? I don't think that would work, you got the flight.

The arms race between fraudsters and fraud departments does create a shifting groundscape. If you're feeling skeeved, good to take the moment to evaluate.

Omerta posted:Double posting because I have some questions. My wife and I are lawyers. She started her own firm around 1.5 years ago and netted $90k her first year, which is great for a first year law firm. She is still ramping up (including hiring people) and her net is all over the place. In the last three months, it was $31k, $1k, $49k. She’s aiming for a $325k distribution from her firm. My wife and I have a similar setup, and have been using that strategy. S corp, so in our case two salaries, plus the distributions. Live on the salaries, treat distributions like windfalls. They can disappear at any time and not derail the train.

Gap year - take time to travel between high school and college Year off - take a year to gently caress off and do drugs during or after college Funemployment - possibly unplanned time between jobs Sabbatical - you're older now so you need a more sophisticated way to say year off Mini retirement - why put off for some vague future aged you what you could enjoy today?

Yeah, every time I do the bare minimum thing, it's a low point. Doing nothing seems like just a coping mechanism, not a solution, for me at least. Finding new goals and purpose makes work feel better. Also feeling needed or valued by colleagues. Not sure what the recipe is to get there, and maybe doing nothing helps make time to find out how to get there. But you can also just get stuck doing nothing, which sucks (well, I don't enjoy it)

Like, lining up at goodwill when the put out new stuff, and then ebaying it? My buddy did that for a bit. I think he made enough to live on for a while. Another buddy got into the idea of trading valuable collectables, but I think that just turned into a money sink

My wife and I have 1 kid 1 dog 1 car. It's great. More cars are more work. Yes sometimes there are challenges but very worth it to not have to manage and pay for 2. Feels healthier too. I've been low car my whole life, biking is way more pleasant. I borrowed a car today, for covering for someone at work who drives for their job. We're in anchorage, so winter is pretty much here Epitope fucked around with this message at 18:05 on Oct 10, 2022 |

Kaiser Schnitzel posted:Is there a free or cheaper than quickbooks bookkeeping software? I am tired of QuickBooks everchanging SaaS and just need something to do very basic bookkeeping-make invoices, track expenses, spit out year end profit/loss statements, etc. I don't need anything with integrated payments, inventory management, payroll, or anything complicated like that. Everything goes to my accountant, so if it could get spit out in a common format, so much the better. I'm intrigued by things like sql ledger or GnuCash, but I don't have any experience with them. I share your frustration, not only is quickbooks clunky and features keep changing, they also hide your own data from you. Would be nice to get away from that

I make more and every so often write her a check. This way when one of us goes crazy and spends everything on a bunker full of beans, we won't have zero dollars.

There's no entrepreneur thread anymore, but maybe this goes here- Cancer lays bare human frailty, and the small business owner is no exception. Watching this dude go from stoked hustling to build his biz, squabbling with competitors and collaborators, and grinding out some profit. First diagnosis/chemo knocked him down, but he still keep plugged into work. He "beat it" and went right back to grinding. Now cancer's back, and he's still just grinding away. I guess I don't know what else I expect, quitting would probably just be depressing for him. I guess we do what we know, dying or not. Maybe he'll leave more to his family this way? Hopefully he's taking a little more time to be with his people and go skydiving or whatever.

Those types of places rule. Seems very much a lifestyle to own and operate one. The people who do it seem like they enjoy it. Is there already a spot with buildings? Or is building part of this potential venture?
