I don't see anything on my end about hiding rates or not.

Yup, we've said all that needs to be said here.

From a former IRS employee.  The IRS doesn't care what you do as long as you report it. They do not communicate any illegal acts to anyone because they want you to accurately report.  Technically, an assassin could file a Schedule C, say they are an assassin and even deduct their ammo expenses and the IRS wouldn't care.  The tax examiners would even get a laugh out of it.  But if you're concerned, just put down Masseur or Consultant.  

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

I honestly have no idea what funds I’m in. 

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.

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.

I'll probably buy $5k in January, another $5k with my tax refund, and then see the rate announcement in late April before deciding whether to buy the third tranche in April or May.

Kevin Slater

Just bought that first tranche.

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.

Maybe I'm slow, but would someone explain to me regarding the engineer?

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

Kevin Slater

The clients.  😜

That’s on my radar for tax year 2022.

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.

That is a 20-year track record.  Congratulations!  I would think that it is very rare in this industry.  It looks like the passage of time has had no effect on your revenues.  Or not that I can see,

Has there been an increase in your hourly fees, say in 2021 and 2022?

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 are the amounts in this chart adjusted for inflation?

That is not the standard for financial reporting.

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

"R" was used for Thursdays on class schedules by my university back at the turn of the century.  It is shorter than the "TH" most often used to distinguish Thursday from Tuesday.

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.

I’m in awe….😍😍😍

Although why is Thursday ‘R’ and Sunday ‘X’? 

Cuz T and S are taken.

Kevin Slater

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

Is there a chart to show most popular day of the week?  I bet there is 🙂

For me it’s Tuesday…strangely

Lifetime revenue, by day of the week.

This is always good info. What do you feel happened in 2002 and 2003?

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

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