    Living Unscripted - Handling millions harder than making them?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    I got more serious about putting together a plan (Appreciate the kick in the buy from you guys!) and did alot more research. Overall I decided that I was exactly right about most of my judgements of the situation (for my situation). My primary mistake was just not capitalizing on virtually no...

    California Out-of-state Sales tax demand

    TAXES | REGS WEB/DIGITAL 
    I know that there has been some discussion on the supreme court decision about out-of-state sales tax. However, I haven't seen anyone post about any state actually taking action on individual sellers yet. Well today we received an email from California. The hilarious part is that , as per usual...

    HOT! INVESTING 
    I'm old enough to remember 5% savings accounts but young enough for it to be a small blip on my radar when I was younger and now forgotten. So you are right that a majority of my financial life has been exposure to terrible low risk investment returns. I agree and that's why I believe that the...

    Thank you guys for all the replies. You have given me alot to think about. I am NOT one to turn a blind eye to learning. But once again, we all only have so much time and there is more than one direction that learning can occur. I am always reading and learning. So that's not the issue...

    THANK YOU. Both of your replies are very clear and are great explanations. I appreciate the time you took to write them. Your explanation is roughly my understanding of the topic, and what I was interpreting from others posts/books seemed to be at odds with it. Based on my current savings, 2%...

    I am not. Since everyone is misunderstanding my point, I am obviously not portraying it correctly. I will try again. Every one of these answers substantiate what I have been saying all along. Investment has to become a side job. This isn't "Now that you made money, the money can make money for...

    I am not being difficult on purpose. I may be wrong and maybe I have just not heard it explained in a way that jives with my brain. The way I see it; Your reply does more to substantiate my point of view (investing becomes a job) than what I am interpreting is your point of view (it takes...

    Thank you for the reply. I appreciate the time. I agree with this statement and thats what I meant by one of the strategies being just socking away $$ into the market for decades. But that's not the same as getting paid every quarter. MJ's example of "can you live off $40,000 in dividends a...

    HOT! INVESTING 
    I agree with everything you said. But you literally just described a lifestyle and/or job. None. I've used my business to put even more ridiculous sums of money into my bank account. It's possible that my current post came off wrong. My post from a year ago was "how can I put my money to...

    Living Unscripted - Handling millions harder than making them?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    The last part of Unscripted hit really close to home for me, as I have needed to start making money on my money years ago already. The issue is that I have been too busy making money in my business instead (or enjoying my free time). This results in 7 figures sitting in cash and withering away...

    I'm sure MJ can edit it for you. I'm still not 100% sure how to use all the numbers in that report to figure out what they still owe you. Do you know which numbers on the report your supposed to add/subtract to figure out what they haven't paid you for?

    If you go to "inventory reconciliation" and run a report for the last 18months, it will show you how many items were Lost, Damaged, and Disposed. Can we just compare the total of those numbers to the total reimbursements within that same time period (but 30 days forward, since they have 30 days...

    I know nothing about accredited investing. I will put that on the "research" list. This seems like higher risk investing though? The only way I would want to do something higher risk is if I extensive research into who/what I am investing into.... a.k.a get a second job learning about what...

    INVESTING 
    I only did minor research into it, so forgive me if I'm missing something, but what you are suggesting seems like literally a full time business. On top of that I would need to know the business and area really well to make good loan choices. It might be a good route for someone that's looking...

    I've had this same problem for years now and it's only increasingly getting bigger and bigger. 1. I've been making more and more money, which means my cash fund has been growing fast 2. I don't trust investors or financial advisors. If they were anything but charlatans and actually knew how to...

    So I wanted to add something I learned from an agent. The only ones they are supposed to reimburse you on are the ones that also say "sellable" in the condition column. From my understanding, when it says unsellable that means they damaged a product already in the unsellable condition or just...

    So far the results have been a bit worse than expected on the cases. They are still working on 2 or 3 bigger cases but the rest have come to a conclusion. Many have been in my favor, but they are mostly being reimbursed with "quantity reimbursed [inventory]". We don't sell directly to Amazon so...

    I've always done step 1. But didn't know about the other things. I figured that any decent company would automatically reimburse you when they damaged your product..... Anyways, got to doing step 2 today and found 350+ products in the last 18 months worth over 20k+. I didn't really want to...
