  1. $25 to $10K $10k is the max per year. But there are ways around it, I.e. I have a living trust so I can set up an account for my trust and buy another $10K that way. You can also buy paper bonds with a tax refund but I think they are eliminating that.
  2. I loved “The Goat or who is Sylvania: with Sally Field. The other play I really liked was “It’s only a Play” that had a very talented cast. Stockard Channing, Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane were in it
  3. Make sure there is no HOA as well. A lot of HOAs ban them and will enforce them. I live in a condo and our bylaws were amended to state that any rentals have to be for a year and any rental unit has to submit a $1000 refundable deposit with the association, the tenant has to submit a background and credit check and go for an interview with all the boards members and be approved by th board.
  4. I saw it in August when I was in NYC when it was still in previews and loved it. Next to Patti Lupone, Sutton Foster is my favorite broadway actress. Sutton really stole the show. She is such a talented singer and really funny. I was in NYC this past weekend and wanted to see it for a second time but didn't have time. This is a must see show for any Sutton Foster fan.
  5. I was in NYC this past weekend and was lucky enough to see it Patti is my favorite actress and that's why I bought tickets. Her and Mia were both really good. Was weird seeing Patti in a non-singing role. Was a good play, but I don't see it getting any Tony nominations. Wouldn't have bought tickets if it wasn't for Patti being the star and probably wouldn't last with a no big name cast. I liked that it was a 7 p.m. show instead of 8 and was only a little over an hour and a half with no intermission, so I was able to get out and enjoy a late dinner while most of the restaurants were still open and didn't have the 8 p.m. theater crowd just getting out
  6. She gave up her equity card. IIRC she was pissed over how they didn't back her when she was upset people wouldn't mask up at the theater. not sure if she gave up musicals or not. She still is doing a one woman show (was lucky enough to see her perform in three different cities in the past year) and she made a point of making a joke thanking people "for coming to my show which is not an equity production). Not sure how she is doing this play, unless since it's only a two person show with no orchestra, the don't have to use equity.
  7. That’s why I didn’t buy a Prius prime. My condo is deeded parking but it’s a shared garage with no outlet A charging start ion would be expensive and the garage electric is on the common shared line so don’t think the other owners would appreciate paying for me to charge my car The tax credit would have been really nice though
  8. And I am a huge fan of Roth IRA’s and think everyone should max them out each year if they are eligible. If someone is claiming zero income, they also cant contribute to a ROTH since you have to have earned income.
  9. And most small business that accept cash are places like bars, restaurants and convenient stores that charge sales tax. If the business is charging the sales tax and reporting it honestly, very easy for the state to match up the revenues on the sales tax return to the revenues on the state income tax return. I know some businesses are dishonest with reporting the sales tax as well, but seeing it’s a trust tax they are holding, good way to get your business shut down since you’ll lose your vendor and sales tax license
  10. And sounds like their bond rating is going to be reduced to Junk. And I bet the strike will go on for a long time since boeing withdrew their offer to the union and isn't negotiating and the union is demanding a lot more. I wouldn't put it past them to file bankruptcy and just move the operations to their south plant
  11. I've been dollar cost averaging into TSLA for a long time and it's had a great return for me. Took a nosedive today but still double the 12 month low and I have a nice gain on the stock. Just wish it paid a dividend
  12. Bumping this to see if anyone has been with him. Good reviews on RM but I've some not to trust those like I do on here. He says he can host in the ad and is into bdsm, hard to find younger doms to hire into kink. Debating between him (if the rate is right) or hiring boicalvin again
  13. It make sense if the provider is mainly a top and someone makes a special request to top them. I remember back when Paul Pratt was an escort he would charge a premium rate if someone wanted him to bottom. I'm into kink/bdsm when I hire and some escorts will charge more for that vs. vanilla.
  14. Health care is what's stopping me from retiring (I'm 58 1/2). I have enough saved I can live comfortably but need the insurance. How the election turns out is going to play a big part in when I retire. If trump gets in and ACA gets reversed I;m screwwed. I'm told ACA premiums are based on your taxable income. If you have a lot of money in a roth, I would draw on that until you're 65, since that is non-taxable income and shouldn't have an impact on your premiums
  15. He told me since it's it's folsom weekend he is charging an "event rate" of $500 an hour and a thirty percent deposit. I didn't both responding.
  16. I reached out to him and he told me thirty percent so he must have raised it LOL. I didn't both responding because he said since it was folsom weekend he was charging an "event rate" of $500 an hour. He looks like a hot guy but not that hot.
  17. Bumping this thread to see if anyone has been with him lately? I'll be in SF for folsom and see is into bdsm play. His escort name on RM is holetrainerdotcom and cant find any reviews on him when I searched that name here. His escort rates on his site seem reasonable and he can do incalls
  18. Ran across his ad on MF and bumping this thread to see if anyone has hired him lately and more importantly if he still escorts or ust does massages. I hired him back in 2012 and 2013 at least four different times when I was in WEHO frequently for an escort when he advertised on Rentment and see he still has that same killer smile. When I hired him he was a twink and looks like he's put on some muscle in the last ten years. His age posted is probably correct, or if he shaves some years off it's only a couple years. I think he was only 24 when I first started hiring him. He also had a sexy voice if I remember correctly. Not sure if this is still the case, but when I hired him he was available weird hours because he worked for an airline.
  19. Like others said, I don't think your sexual orientation should matter for a financial advisor. I'd also suggest listening to Suze Ormans podcast, I like her not because she is gay, but she has a lot of great advice for things like dollar cost averaging. I'd also suggest getting on Keith Fitz-Geralds email list. His basic daily email is free and he has some great advice. I bought PLTR listening to him and Suze and wish I would have taken that advice more seriously because it's going trhough the roof and knocked American Airlines out of the S&P 500 friday. Him and suze are working on some kind of newletter/advising program that is going to be affordabe and will probably subscribe to that once they release it. If there are certain stocks like homophobic companies you don't want you investment money going into, you can make that known to your investment advisor as well. Our church is blessed with some very nice endowments and trust funds and our bank investment advisor was told to advoid companies that are gun dealers and to try to avoid mutual funds that have them in their portfolio and companies that are known to use child labor and pay an unfair living wage. If you don't already have one, I'd get a living revocable trust in place and would use either a gay or gay friendly lawyer for that. My lawyer is gay, and when I had the work done he suggested a couple changes on how I wanted to leave my assets. He warned me a lot of churches charge collibarium fees and to have it stated that the fees were to be waived and if they weren't then they are to come off the estate fees and the amount being charged for those fees was to be taken from the percent (he has it set up that all my assets are liquated and prorated percentage wise) being left to my church and prorated beteen the other benefecaires. I was also going to leave a little bit to HRC and he suggested using Lambda Legal instead.
  20. Going to be in SF pretty soon for folsom and see he's into kink. What was his rate? Seeing he charges a deposit, I probably won't be itnerested unless he is willing to waive it (some providers will suddenly waive it when you say you won't do deposits). He has great reviews on RM but we all know we can't trust them.
  21. Keith Fitz-Gerald usually gives pretty good advice and I get his free newsletter and loved what he said about Boeing today: 2 – Boeing is a bug in search of a windshield I’ve been telling you for quite some time now that Boeing is a bug in search of a windshield. Now, it’s closing in on the $150 target I set for shares this past March. See #4. I want to cheer for newly seated CEO Kelly Ortberg but the scuttlebutt around here (Boeing’s backyard) is just terrible. He’s got an astounding uphill battle ahead. Continue to short or avoid – there are bigger, better, and considerably more well-run players with actual profit potential.
  22. As a CPA, I can tell you most tax preparers don't make much and it's pretty seasonal, but may do it part time after I retire. Most well paid tax professionals are CPAs and/or lawyers and the CPA exam now requires five years of college. I think intuit discriminates against people over 40. I applied for a part time season job with turbotax figuring I could do it for a little side income when I travel and had a three minute screeinging interview and never heard back, even though I'm a CPA with a PTIN. A friend of mine that is retired and is a CPA and was manager of the tax department for a large local firm had the same results. But a friends daughter who just graduated from college with no real experience and not a a CPA or no PTIN got hired. Just weird they didn't even give my friend or myself the opportunity to take the online exam at least.
  23. Interesting about the tax option. They probably don't want to issue paper bonds anymore but could still do online. I hate giving the government use of my money anyway and always arrange it so that I withhold and pay in what my last years liability is to avoid a penalty if I do owe. I am surprised they don't raise the limit though. If you want to buy $20K a year, a good work around is to set up a second account with treasury direct with your trust if you have one . Your trust doesn't need a Fed ID and I just used my social security number and did that back when they were a great investment. I think anyone that hast enough money to invest should have a trust anyway.
  24. I bought 2-$10K ones in 2021 that have a zero percent fixed rate that I definitely want to get rid of. they were a great investment at the time but now there are stocks out there with a lot better return. Nice thing though about the Ibonds is that I live in a state with a high income tax, so there's no state income tax on them.
