    UK Based dropshippers & ecommerce. 20% VAT?

    HOT! 
    As long as you are shipping from outside the EU, the item will/should be taxed at the border (but for small packages, it mostly isn't). So for packages valued at less than 50$, it's a competitive advantage to be incorporated and ship from outside the EU because it probably won't get taxed (and...

    UK Based dropshippers & ecommerce. 20% VAT?

    HOT! 
    If it is under a certain customs value threshold it will get past customs without collecting VAT. Individuals who buy goods over the internet or by mail order from outside the EU will now only be charged customs duty if the value of the package is above £135, and the actual amount of duty due...

    Make $500 This Weekend - Ikea Dresser Recall Opportunity

    EXECUTION 
    Only in the USA you recall a dresser because people don't install it properly. They come with the tools to attach it to the wall. IKEA sells millions of these in the EU (I have one just beside me), and they didn't recall it here. The USA is known for high dollar lawsuits for ridiculous stuff...

    Should I sell my apartment and invest the profit in stocks?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Is that house fully paid? 15.000$ rent for a 500.000$ apartment, 3% / year, sounds really really low. I would sell it, place 200.000$ in P2P loans at 10% rate, that would fund your rent and help with expenses. 300.000$ left. Stash it. Build a business (without touching the 300.000$)

    LANDFILL 
    I can't see how choosing a 150$ carpet over a 500$ one is slowlane. My mind is confused by this thread. *Slowly walks away*

    Personal introduction + A newbie question

    INTRO 
    Welcome @Rhiru , seems like you already have your answer. In Portuguese we usually call it a "Correctora", most commonly used in the stock market but also insurance, betting, etc. The best one in Portugal in terms of fees for stock is Degiro, but that's all I know since I don't trade nor hold...

    Most beneficial college classes for your fastlane journey.

    EXECUTION 
    Wut? Do you understand the nonsense of what you wrote? So you are spending 6 figures , but college pays the rent (wouldn't it have come from your tuition by chance?). And, because of that ("that" being: getting into a shiload of debt), you are somehow in a better position to fail fail fail?

    Possible fast lane idea for MJ?

    IDEA 
    Now imagine a 3-day seminar, packed with not only MJ, but all other knowledgeable individuals of this forum, for a fraction of the price. Utopic right?

    How would you fulfill a couple thousand pre-orders?

    e-packet seems to be the trend these days for Shopify Monkeys, it's the best "shipping line" for China-US in terms of price/time, cheap (a bit more expensive than regular airmail), and it only takes 5 to 7 bus days. I'd search for a fulfilment center that has that option and outsource...

    Our Cleaner has been fired!

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    50£ for 4 hours per week sounds like a really great deal. So much extra effort to save 25 bucks each per week? You want to be taking things out of your plate, not adding them. Many people have this sense of pride and effort from doing chores, there's nothing to gain from doing it yourself...

    Chronic laziness. How to overcome?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    To us lazy people, the level of laziness is directly opposite to how comfortable you are. Think about how easy it is to lose whatever you think you have secured right now, visualize it, Set new, bigger goals, figure out your WHYs, make micro goals/tasks so you can feel bad when you're not doing...

    Should I continue Comp Science College or Dropout?

    If you hate coding, drop out. That doesn't even need to enter fastlane territory. If you love coding, drop out. No college degree apart from top US schools will give you something self learning on the internet won't. I know a bunch of skilled coders who joined college with me on the #1...

    Money System - What Are You Investing That's Getting 5% Return?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Any specific platform or in general? Twino I used to invest all in 1 month with buyback. The secondary market is very active, so now I go for longer loans with higher returns since its easy to sell if needed. I wish I did this sooner, I still have some 15.5 percent loans that I picked up awhile...

    Money System - What Are You Investing That's Getting 5% Return?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Been Active on Mintos I think for 1.5 years now, but had to use the money there to fund inventory. On Twino I've been also for around 1 year. These returns are real/fixed, because both these platforms offer buyback guarantee. The risk is the platform going bankrupt or, in case of Mintos, the...

    Money System - What Are You Investing That's Getting 5% Return?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    I'm upping my P2P portfolio to cover my monthly expenses (around 500€) in the next couple of months. 30% at Mintos.com 30% at Twino.eu 40% at Estateguru.co All the above are currently at 11-12% rates, around 10% after tax. IMO, these 3 markets are the best and safest players ATM on the EU market.
