    Business Taxes in Italy

    TAXES | REGS 
    Well there is a good reason why English-speaking countries are doing great (US, UK, NZ, AUS), Northern Europe is doing well (Sweden, Germany, Denmark...) and Latin Europe is doing terrible (France, Italy, Spain, Portugal). This is a good illustration of it. I guess it could be worse though...

    UPSCALE: What do you think of my invention?

    HOT! 
    Thank you very much for answering my questions. It's definitely helpful to know more about the process you went through. Spending hundreds of hours to learn some CAD beforehand is probably not the best idea for me. I think what I'll do first is build a digital 3D model, as realistic as...

    "If you were in Nazi Germany, the statistical probability is overwhelming that you would have been a perpetrator". Most people overestimate very much how good they are, or would be. Very few would step up when it means putting yourself and your family on the line.

    What Is So Hard About Entrepreneurship?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    This resonated VERY MUCH with me. I'm finding that what lurks behind most of my business related difficulties are almost always my own shortcomings. I usually solve them once I have done the work to get better and grow into the person that is able to tackle them. Financial success is yet to...

    UPSCALE: What do you think of my invention?

    HOT! 
    Hello @BrianLateStart , I just read through your thread, congratulations on creating your product. Great story ! I was wondering if you could share some insights about the prototyping phase. I have an idea for a product that (I believe) would make some specific aspect of life a little bit...

    Thanks for the tips, I'm gonna try it out as I'm feeling more and more concerned privacy wise. Already moved away from Gmail, Google calendar, WhatsApp (partly), Chrome and others... Mint looks really cool and most of what I need seems to run on it (except for Adobe products, but there are very...

    What are your experiences with entrepeneurship in Europe?

    The grass is always greener in the neighbor's backyard... You're lucky enough to live in a developed and industrialized country with a high standard of living and a market economy. Details may vary, but principles are the same. Nothing prevents you from making money where you are.

    What was your first "cash flow positive asset?"

    Got started in business with real estate doing short term rental. Used to do it all on my own (rehab, listings, cleaning, check-ins...). I'm now up to 3 apartments and working on a 6 units building (very heavy and challenging rehab). I slowly learned how to work with people and get myself to...

    USD Currency Collapse – Possible?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Agreed, it is a very important distinction ! The Euro benefits businesses from Northern Europe and households from Southern Europe, to the detriment of Northern Europe households and Southern Europe businesses. Hence why there are too many houses in Spain and too many factories in Germany. I'll...

    USD Currency Collapse – Possible?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    I highly doubt it as well and wouldn't bet on the Euro. It is a Frankenstein currency that has no sense, basically ruins Southern Europe and profits Northern Europe. Italy lost something like 20% of its industry since the Euro. No wonder they are pissed. This is what happens when you give the...

    HOT! 
    According to this Spanish study (table on page 8) on 60.000 workers, those considered essential, who kept going out, have a lower seroprevalence rate to COVID19 antibodies, than those non essential who stayed under lockdown. That would mean the virus spread more among those under lockdown...

    Anyone learning something useful in quarantine?

    With my business 100% stopped due to C0VlD-19, I'm trying not to lose my time on top of it and learning how to code in JavaScript. Hopefully I'll soon be able to build a prototype for a web based service idea I have in mind. We'll see if it ends up being helpful, but at the very least it's much...

    Difficulty to sleep ?

    HEALTH 
    Here is how I went from chronic bad sleeper to sleeping like a baby and feeling great: wake up early (5-6am), and be consistent go to bed early (9-10pm), and be consistent no screen whatsoever in the evening no cellphone in the bedroom (stays in the living room to charge at night). Buy an 8$...

    Should billionaires be taxed out of existence?

    OFF-TOPIC TAXES | REGS 
    Typical French way of thinking: "I'm poor because you're rich and you stole my money". Wonder why some consider we are a communist country... Taxes and social costs already account for almost 50% of the GDP. That's madness. Sweden reached 70% 20 years ago and guess what? Went bankrupt.
