    If you live in Arizona... (Tax on Gold?)

    TAXES | REGS 
    This bill has passed. It eliminated capital gains taxes on gold and silver bullion. So, if AZ does not tax me, the Federal government still might. An interesting thing I learned recently is that Gold or Silver American Eagles, and certain other coins, are not reportable. Exempt.

    What does this new tax bill mean for us Americans?

    TAXES | REGS 
    I think I like it. I like it a lot! The breakdown under the new bill: Corporate taxation The on-the-books corporate tax rate will come down significantly. (The tax that companies have been paying after deductions and credits are taken into account has often been lower than the on-the-books...

    PATENTS! How to get around?

    I dabbled in patenting a couple of my inventions. Paid LegalZoom to do patent searches for me. Maybe I could have done it myself for cheaper, but did not want to bother. Anyway... they sent me two long 20+ page reports with similar inventions, many of which looked or were described ALMOST...

    The 4 Hour Work Week Vs. Millionaire Fastlane

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    An acquaintance at a party strongly recommended the 4-hour Week to everyone. I was skeptical, but I still bought it on Audible.com. Then, maybe an hour later, I was calling customer service to ask for my money back. I did get the money, but not the 1 hour that I wasted listening to it.

    Web 3.0 (Ethereum) is happening, and most people have no idea what it even is.

    GOLD! IDEA 
    This is one and only long and all-encompassing thread about Ethereum. I have a question to those who follow the news about Ethereum: - Have the Ethereum smart contracts ever been implemented for P2P (person to person) transactions? If so, are they legally recognized by the courts? Or is it...

    I have a problem with MJ DeMarco (Follow your passion gets a beatdown)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Following your passion and doing what you love is perfectly okay, if you are really good at doing what you love, and if it is monetarily appreciated by your customers. Don't just play a guitar, Be a f#cking ROCKSTAR! Now, that's a Fastlane.

    Sold my $30,000 p/mth website for $650k - My "near wealth experience" taught me this--> [MP3]

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Bill -- Thanks for the great post and the great book. I especially love audiobooks! One question... I am sure I will find an answer sooner or later. But I have been reading this thread and the PDF for almost an hour and still do not understand how you value (or count) Hobbies and Passions in...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Hi MJ! I've Read/listened UNSCRIPTED too. IMHO, TMF tells what to do, and UNSCRIPTED tells how to do it. The two books are very complementary.

    Want to use a “Journal”? You’re probably doing it wrong!

    I love Jim Rohn. He was my first business and self-improvement teacher. I used to listen to his six tapes, The Art of Exceptional Living, which were bootleg copied from my college library. Then I had his six CD's in a CD changer in my car, playing all the time, often set to play at random. I...

    GOLD! HOT! 
    MJ, I've read your both books and recommended them to several people. Thank you for the audiobook versions as well, this makes it much easier to start reading and also re-read.

    FCC is about to repeal Net Neutrality

    HOT! 
    Net Neutrality was a horrible legislation. Do not let the "nice name" blind you to what it really was -- a heavy-handed govermnent oversight and price contol scheme. The sky will not fall now that Net Neutrality is gone. The internet was working just fine 2 years ago, and it will keep working...

    What is the BEST "value" you ever paid for?

    NOTABLE! HOT! CHAT EXECUTION 
    Oh, how could I forget?!!! The best value was about 100 roubles that I paid back in 1993 to learn English well enough to come to the US!

    What is the BEST "value" you ever paid for?

    NOTABLE! HOT! CHAT EXECUTION 
    I was going to say that any product that I end up using more times than I thought I would when I bought it, is a great value to me. And the reverse it true as well. But since the thread started with gym equipment, I would pitch the GoFit Muscle Hook: Screenshot-2017-12-20 GoFit Muscle Hook by...

    I do not know Dalio personally, but being good at what one does does not make him/her a capitalist. There are a plenty of socialist billionaires out there, you know. Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, most of the Silicone Valley...

    The coming recession

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Thank you, that was very educational. But this video promotes kensianism, which is a bubble all in itself. What I got out of it was that spending cuts, debt reduction, wealth redistribution, and money printing are the methods to reduce the debt burden. It is always going to be the money...

    The coming recession

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Cryptocurrency looks like a bubble. But there are published opinions on the internet that it is instead a needle, the one that will pop the dollar bubble. It certainly will happen, pretty soon, but I do not know if it will cause the coming recession/correction, make it much worse that it would...

    The All Time Top 3 Life Changing Books...

    BOOKS 
    Yeah, this advice can safely be ignored. Watching movies might be a good intro, in fact watching the first of the three movies is what got me interested in the rest of Ayn Rand's work, but had I only limited myself to watching the movies there definitely wouldn't have been anything life...

    The All Time Top 3 Life Changing Books...

    BOOKS 
    Atlas Shrugged is the most awesome philosophical work ever written. It is better than the Bible, and definitely better than any single academic book on Philosophy. It is not a light casual reading. It's no good, if you start reading it and then drop it halfway. I almost got depressed by the...

    Employees Working In Your House?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    I had an intern rent a room in my house and help me run my business for four months. It worked well for me and him. We are still close friends and he stays with me every time he is in town. I would consider two things. Whether this is a temporary or a long-term arrangement, and whether the...
