There's already a discussion of that here. Kevin Slater

You're talking about the nanny tax. The distinction there is that the nanny is characterized by the IRS as an employee: she works exclusively for one family, they control how her work is performed and set her regular hours. Independent contractors, however, are not subject to nanny taxes. You would have to withhold social security and medicare taxes, unemployment insurance, etc. from the nanny's wages, but not so for the gardener (assuming you are one of his several accounts), pool boy or escort, all of whom are independent contractors. To correct your examples above, you would not issue a 1099 to the weekly housekeeper (again, unless you hired her though your own small business). Kevin Slater

Yes, it is. That would only be appropriate if you were hiring him in the course of operating a business. So long as it's a personal expense, there is indeed no reporting requirement on the client side. It's payment for personal services rendered. You, the client, have no reporting requirement. End of story. Kevin Slater

Also depends on what happens to the fixed rate portion. Kevin Slater

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

When you call it, you get some bullshit message saying “the Text2Mail number you’re calling doesn’t accept incoming calls” or the like. Kevin Slater

Which is why I don't engage with any burner number. Kevin Slater

It's hard to parse what your post is trying to say, but it sounds like you have multiple instances of cancelling with short notice. So why even book in advance, rather than waiting til you know you're actually free? If you want to reply "because my time is limited and I want to be sure that he'll be available when I might be" I'd ask why the provider isn't afforded the same consideration. Kevin Slater

So it turns out the current rate (6.89%) is better than the previous 9.62% due to the fixed rate component (.4% vs 0%). In just four years the "lower" rate new issues will be worth more than the previous batch, as the .4% is guaranteed for the life of the bond. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/pays-procrastinate-6-89-bonds-175401666.html Kevin Slater

Client just brought him into my place. I wouldn't call it an abundance of personality. Kevin Slater

So... what are you wearing? Kevin Slater

Fidelity offers a Visa with 2% cash back on everything. I do not, however, use it. Kevin Slater

Aww hell no. What little decorum we have would be thrown out the window if people could post with no skin in the game. If you don't have the balls to stand behind it, it probably shouldn't be posted in a public forum. Kevin Slater (qua member)

Oh, I don't mind when the ATMs describe me as meat. Kevin Slater

I say it's the provider's job to keep track of time. He's the professional in the room. Your only job is to relax and have fun. Kevin Slater

I'm under the impression that not speaking english would be a benefit to finding your Über, as none of the drivers do either. Kevin Slater

My experience informs me that the likelihood of a booking actually happening is inversely proportional to the amount of advance notice. I've always experienced it from the escort's perspective, but perhaps it holds both ways. Kevin Slater

Same

Again, this thread is about a particular provider. Politics and discussion of antisemitism belong elsewhere. Kevin Slater (qua admin)

I didn't, while there, but a few friend have reported this. Kevin Slater

6.49. Those bought starting now will get the .4% bump. Kevin Slater

They just announced the new rate: 6.89%, which includes a fixed rate of .4%. That .4% gets added onto whatever the inflation rate is for the life of the bond. The previous fixed rate was 0%. Kevin Slater

It'll say that for a while. (They don't give you the accumulated interest for the first six months or something.) But drill deeper (by clicking every button and link you can) and you'll get to the interest rate. Maybe PM me so we can take this offline. Kevin Slater

Log into your account > Current holdings / savings bonds > select Series I Savings Bond. You'll see the interest rate there. If your transaction hasn't preprocessed yet, you'll surely hit a snag along one of those steps. If it says interest rate not available, it probably means you're getting the new yet-to-be-announced rate (likely ~6.47%). Kevin Slater

Just brought Skinnyhungmj into a work thing. Really nice guy, sexy as hell, great cock. We also brought in Boy_xxxl, who was great as well. It's not often that I'm the third biggest cock in the room. Kevin Slater
