Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
yeah instead invest all your money into lesbian furries
I hear it's a growing market segment.
certain segments are growing
Depends how you got your money. Sometimes it should be kept in cash, because having it work for you for a long time wouldn’t offset the taxes you’re gonna pay if your government knows you have it.
And tax evasion is hella based.
Probably hard to get paid for furry porn commissions on the internet in cash.
Cash was mentioned, so I figured I’d add that lil caveat.
Edit: I took it to mean actual cash, and I was incorrect!
These days inflation is going to get ya just as hard as the tax man. At least create an LLC so you can launder the money into legitimate investments like property or retail.
Eh it’s just so much easier to have a big ol heavy lockbox and chain it to the basement. It’s just gonna get more full, ya don’t wanna deal with the hassle of claiming 100k and explaining where it came from.
Keeping that much liquidity in your home is a huge liability. House fires, break ins, and hold ups happen more frequently than people like to think. Plus nowadays it doesn't take much effort for the government to figure out if you're avoiding taxation, especially if you're using an electronic service like PayPal.
I can guarantee that the people who are avoiding the most taxation aren't doing so by keeping cash stuffed in a safe. Properly knowing how to register and operate an LLC is basically the equivalent of a get out of jail free card in America.
It’s like businesses who deal with cash so they can avoid credit card fees. Cash handling has its own costs, including risk of theft and loss. I guess there’s also the tax evasion angle but they’re generally not happy when that catches up with them.
I’ll just say, this… hypothetical person is not earning this money online. The lockbox is fire-safe and their home has extensive security. With the business they’re doing, their government is not finding out. If so, there are much, much bigger worries than taxation.
It’s only a couple hundred grand, anyway.
Quick edit: for the average person though, I agree with you.
Even in your particular hypothetical, it's still not the best way to minimize liability or culpability.
The lockbox is fire-safe
Fire safes rarely survive actual house fires, they're typically only rated to last 30min to an hour of exposure. In the event of an actual fire, it's pretty doubtful that you'd be able to even find the safe afterwards. If it is recoverable, it's going to be found by investigators, who will probably question why you have so much cash.
their home has extensive security.
Pretty much all security is theater unless it's an armed human, and I doubt you're going to have an armed guard available 24/7.
With the business they’re doing, their government is not finding out. If so, there are much, much bigger worries than taxation.
Right, but do you know how many fraudulent organizations get busted because of tax evasion? The goal is to separate the money (evidence) from you as much as possible. Having it sit in a secured safe that only you have access is evidence makes you culpable to the crime.
the average person though, I agree with you.
I would say anything that applies to the average person applies even moreso to a person engaged in less than legal businesses.
Don't leave money in Paypal, people.
PayPal closed my account which has 2k in it and I had to wait 90 days to get my money back
Well damn. I need to learn how to draw
you clearly haven't seen furry porn
Haha, nice one! 😹
? why?
Lesbian furries? Everyone knows the real money is in gay furries.
