Although, interestingly, drug dealers are statutorily prohibited from deducting business expenses other than cost of goods sold. Kevin Slater

I don't love that answer at all. It's not hard to find out, and then to check if the mix is one you're comfortable with. If you feel that it's underperforming over a 20 year time span I would be curious if you're weighted too heavily in bonds. (My personal take, as I think you've said you're in your 40s, is any bonds are too many.) It'd be an easy matter to switch existing monies into more growth oriented funds and/or to redirect future contributions. Kevin Slater

Yup, my Lucid was up a whopping 88% at one point during the day. (It closed up a mere 43%.) Kinda wish I had held more than two shares. Kevin Slater

Just bought that first tranche. Kevin Slater

Moderator’s note: Let’s get back to the subject of this thread, the passing of Adam Rich.

There are a lot of interesting little (and not so little) changes in there. For example some RMD changes even higher catch-up contributions for ages 60 to 63 (starting in 2025) solo 401s can now be established and funded by employee contributions after the calendar year but before the filing deadline (starting with tax year 2023-- drat!) SEP and SIMPLE IRAs can now be Roth Thanks for posting. Kevin Slater

Just that the phishing spam messages always say he's an engineer from Nigeria. You'd have to ask him. Kevin Slater

The clients. 😜 Kevin Slater

Scratch that. The plan had to be set up during the calendar year, and employee contributions had to be made in the calendar year as well. Kevin Slater

That’s on my radar for tax year 2022. Kevin Slater

Thanks. The rack rate remains constant, but there's noise: rentmen (the dominant site) doesn't allow one to publish rates, so those may be a little loosey goosey. Never to the downside in my case, but I may sometimes quote a higher number. the business model is increasingly moving away from hourly sessions in any case. Kevin Slater

That is not the standard for financial reporting. Kevin Slater

Why lose the weight? You're great the way you are. Kevin Slater

Yeah, I stole the schema after seeing a friend's course schedule from UC Davis. Although to really nerd out, it really ought to be H, which is unique only to Thursday, whereas Friday shares the R. Kevin Slater

Cuz T and S are taken. Kevin Slater

So you're the asshole stealing all my Tuesday business! Kevin Slater

Lifetime revenue, by day of the week. Kevin Slater

I was brand new to the biz. Give a guy a chance to learn the ropes! Kevin Slater

You joke, but there is a non-negligible chance of something similar. In which case I'd be happy to amend the report. Kevin Slater

Per annual tradition: Revenue was flat from 2021 to 2022. 36% of 2022 revenue came from the year’s top three clients, down from 46% in 2021. Kevin Slater

In 2022, there were ~100 days where I saw no clients. That's higher than usual because I did a lot of personal travel (and plan to keep doing so). Kevin Slater
