The write-off on my accounts saved a lot of taxable dollars from being taxed. Now, I can go back and collect
You know you have to pay taxes once you collect, right?
EDIT: Everyone in here is posting in a bullshit thread. @iAmTrade stop lying to yourself, us, and actually F*cking do something. You're wasting everyone's time. Your own the most.
Here's a thread from @iAmTrade a couple months back: https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/co...t-to-run-jump-off-a-cliff-leave-it-all.62996/.
Here's that thread in case he decides to edit it:
First I'm not suicidal, jumping off a cliff into the pristine waters beneath is a dream of mine. As for the rest...
I'm 24. Finished college in May, and it turns out I will not be using that degree for anything I want to pursue. I have less than $ 500.00, live with my parents, am single, and feel as though I am in the clutches of my parents.
Have tried to import/export goods in bulk, to find suppliers are not real, or buyers are just clueless intermediaries (I'm not too far from clueless but I think I have the handle as to how this should all work, the process etc).
So, I was working construction- commercial roofing for my father, who does not pay me (yet pays my expenses...cell phone bill...hmm I'm under his roof? (That is about it...working for no $ to me has made me learn/accept that "to work=NO $)...hence my entrepreneurial spirit. He gives me money on occasion, that he will just ask for back... he, who has "kicked" me out of the house and then the next morning says "nah, I was joking", seriously?!...about 3-4 times...
My parents want me to get married...sigh, NOPE...I'm a broke a$$ "little boy..." that's how I think of it to myself...they think obligations will move me forward in life. I agree, but marriage is not the way. Aside from that- I firmly and wholeheartedly believe that listening to my parents (mostly my father) has been the worst thing I could have done in my entire life. Obedience is fine at times, but nope. This is just excessive.
------------
So...I see import/export isn't working out too well- especially with the deal sizes I have been looking into...I want to continue to do this but I need money NOW... I had a piece of software I created in High School...and want to go full time into selling that software to small businesses on a monthly or yearly contract, it is only about $ 160.00 a month or close to $ 2,000 for a yearly contract. Today I registered the business, working/will have a brochure/pricing/sales data/contracts etc ready by end of the day.
Tomorrow I want to go to staples, have them printed on fine paper, laminated, so I don't have to keep wasting $ on getting new ones etc. And I want go make sales, concept has been proven, software works, I see a large market for it...
--------
My problem/why I am here, making this post... My life sucks... SOOOO much. I hate it, despise it, dread it. I want to make some money, about $ 5,000.00 and have been told countless times by friends to move out...
I'm Albanian. Not sure if you have any Albanian friends, know a family etc...but things are culturally strict...impeccably! A son leaving the house = soo much gossip towards my family name etc... but I want to...
Can I really just leave?... my father is in his 50's...already speaks of me- making $ "soon" to help with his bills etc... I haven't voiced it but wth would I want to stay here for...with all the restrictions, telling me what to do etc...I despise it, as I said previously.
He has a friend starting a new restaurant---he, my father wants me to work nights there... I have never been a waiter, I don't even want to do it... I want to just stick to making sales for the software/business I started, and when possible expand/expand...expand...while getting back into import/export (my dream). I "must" go work as a waiter nights, so that I can make some $(so I can just give it to them?>?!?)...MORE IMPORTANTLY so I can avoid conflict with my household...
Thoughts...comments... any comments, even if rude are welcome... What would you do in my situation...
I have no one else to talk to. I'm a shy/quiet guy unless I become more comfortable with you first (doesn't seem to hinder my "ok" sales skills on the field...yes I'm reading into improving there too), no friends (does 1 person count...who is a few states away from me now)...
And here's the original post in this thread in case he tries to change his story to "Oh, I'm doing this for a client. Not myself."
Its almost January 1st 2016, this is not a New Years Resolution.
This is a (new business)?, an opportunity (this one) that I have been meaning to fully delve into, starting January 1st, 2016.
I am owed $ 762,000.00, yes, I did say $762,000.00 that is a lot. Will I get it all, I do not believe so.
I hope to collect 50-75% of that amount, $ 381,000.00 in hopefully 3 Months, collecting it in 6 months is still leaving me to be a happy guy.
Planning on how to make it happen currently & will make it happen.
Not entirely sure on the exact specifics of it all. Have tons of things to still figure out.
That's it for now.
