    FTE 
    More money doesn't necessarily mean more problems. Seems that way sometimes when you're young an busting your butt to become successful. It can be complicated or stressful when you have the responsibility of tens of millions of dollars in mortgages or a company with overhead and employees. (Yes...

    Making Money From A Foundation

    HOT! 
    My husband started a 501(c)3 non-profit ~10 years ago. (Our attorney who set up all our other companies helped us form it pro-bono). We poured our own money into it and accepted corporate donations from Fortune 500 companies like Kimberly-Clark. 100% of the proceeds went to the cause. We never...

    Bought a New House

    REAL ESTATE 
    sm media-1) you already have a lender for the other 10% down you need to avoid PMI-the current owners that inherited it. They are motivated because like you said, they want to unload it and are paying to keep it. They reduced it because no one else bought it. Ask them to carry back the extra 10%...

    If You Think You Can Or Can't, Your Right.

    MINDSET 
    Henry Ford. "If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right.". Such truth to this quote! I remember this every time someone tells me I can't do something.

    Trump's private jet

    Can't say I agree with the "rent it" comment regarding things that float or fly. I have a few friends who have private jets and mega-yachts. First, they (and I) enjoy these immensely on a regular basis! There's nothing like being able to go to a private airstrip and hop on a jet with no lines or...

    $500 off LLC formation

    MARKETPLACE 
    I agree with hatterasguy-I have always had my attorneys set up my LLCs. In my mind it's not worth it to save a few bucks up front in set up fees if a mistake can cost you assets and money. I'm confident that having my team of attorneys, CPAs, etc. has saved me money by protecting me, maximizing...

    Ultimate man caves!

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Richard, a friend of mine in Newport Beach, got pissed off that his Lambo kept breaking down so he had the engine ripped out and had his car mounted onto his wall as art. (old picture here). No joke. He just had his new house built, so it's now on a wall opposite a glass wall with glass stairs...

    your dream car

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I used to get challenged to race (SL600; V12, twin turbo) by a lot by idiots at lights. It's not Lambo fast, but it's definitely fast enough to beat everyone who tried. One macho tool in a souped-up Saleen Mustang wanted to race. I had the top down with my friend in the car with me. Couldn't...
