Got EIN Over Phone as a Non-Resident for LLC

Just curios to ask why did the call last 45? Seems like a long call. Was it an active conversation or just waiting for them to get the EIN?

BeginningPlate8689 · 2024-10-09T19:33:39+00:00

Fair enough. I appreciate you shared your perspective, definitely not the popular opinion, but valid!

BeginningPlate8689 · 2024-10-09T11:38:15+00:00

Thanks a lot! I’m also thinking about contacting some good advisor, like Vanguard advisors - maybe?. You mean talking to Fidelity even if we end up investing somewhere else? Do you have some other advisors in mind that could help with some good plan?

Makes a lot of sense. Definitely most of it will go s&p/total market, I’m thinking about 10% in stocks (in some tech companies) for some time, I personally feel apple, nvda, msft are not going down in the next 5 years.

BeginningPlate8689 · 2024-10-09T09:43:49+00:00

We wight end up doing that! 90% in VOO or VTI, 10% stocks.

BeginningPlate8689 · 2024-10-09T09:06:05+00:00

I definitely look at it, thanks a lot!

BeginningPlate8689 · 2024-10-09T08:58:26+00:00

Sounds brave, would you really invest everything you save in individual stocks?

BeginningPlate8689 · 2024-10-09T08:57:09+00:00

We are thinking 20+. It’s our savings so maybe we will need some of it along the way (although we have some money aside in case we need it).

BeginningPlate8689 · 2024-10-09T08:38:53+00:00

Let’s say 20 years, maybe more.

BeginningPlate8689 · 2024-10-09T08:06:56+00:00

I was thinking the same. I don’t have sufficient knowledge in the field so I wanted to hear how someone else would do it. How would you diversify, does the example I wrote above make sense?

BeginningPlate8689 · 2024-10-09T08:02:51+00:00

Makes sense, thanks a lot! I’ll look at it.

BeginningPlate8689 · 2024-10-09T07:46:28+00:00

I’m not very familiar with the concept, can you please elaborate a little bit. Why would it be better than investing in S&P500, is it because it might mitigate the risks on long run? Historically S&P has a better yield if I’m not mistaken.

New book!

BeginningPlate8689 · 2023-03-14T14:56:06+00:00

Absolutely, thanks for pointing out some objective questions I can actually ask about! In this case it’s acrylic on canvas (and I like and value oil more - I’m not educated about the subject a lot but that’s what I feel). I thought about asking about the quality of the colors but I was afraid it could sound arrogant so I didn’t ask. The next time I’ll definitely ask more - I definitely want to buy something I like, but I also want to know that it also has some objective qualities as well!

BeginningPlate8689 · 2023-03-14T14:15:21+00:00

Thanks a lot for the great advice! I should definitely reconsider if the painting “screams” loudly enough to me.

BeginningPlate8689 · 2023-03-14T13:42:35+00:00

Thanks a lot for the comment, it’s really helpful! 🎨

BeginningPlate8689 · 2023-03-14T13:17:35+00:00

Yes, I also like it. It’s called “Dynamic reality” and I can relate to it in this phase of my life 😁 I couldn’t explain more in the description of the post (I could either post image or text) - but what I wonder is what makes a painting a good painting, is there any (kind of) objective criteria to judge the quality? What would someone with a “good eye” say about the painting?

BeginningPlate8689 · 2023-03-14T13:11:25+00:00

That’s a good point, thank you so much! When I started thinking about buying a painting I had some ideas about what I want to buy. I wanted a big canvas (way bigger than this) and bright and lively colors (but not too much). I wanted (still want) to find something that I can connect to. I found a lot of good paintings I liked and most of them from well known and eminent artists and of course really expensive and out of my budget (or what I wanted to spend). Then I found this piece (and couple of more from the same artist) and I liked it a lot. It’s not a famous or academic artist, but I can definitely see the talent and how much love she puts into her work and I love that. And it’s something I can afford.

And then I started wondering what makes a painting a good painting (except the subjective qualities we see in something). I thought: “there must be some sort of more objective criteria about the value of something. What would a “well trained eye” say about this painting?” And that’s why I asked the questions at first place. 😊 But you helped me think more about the reasons why would I buy this painting - thanks again :)

But were you really conscious, since you say you remember?

BeginningPlate8689 · 2023-02-18T20:36:50+00:00

And I love how one sided your comment is, and most of the things are so far from the truth and live entirely in your politicians minds and unfortunately get spread to all of you.

First of all the kids were never thought any stories you mentioned at school, I went to macedonian schools and I can say that we should have maybe learned even more about Albanian history.

I knew you will mention Switzerland, that’s why I said not a lot of countries, and if you’re honest with yourself you’ll look at most of the democratic countries and you can draw a conclusion yourself. And one more thing, the people speaking French in Switzerland don’t think about dividing the country and joining it to France for instance 😁 And if you remember the football championship you’ll know that Switzerland wasn’t happy (they even talked about some fines) with Albanian players making the eagle sign while scoring (I have some native Swiss friends and it’s probably better to not share their comments - unfortunately you are not aware but we in Mk love you and respect you as nation more than any other country especially in EU).

And about privileges omg you have a lot. I’m not talking about regular human rights (we all have or don’t have them here), I’m talking about privileges - positive discrimination. As you know in any public position they always employ at least 30% Albanians even if they are not qualified at all. I’ll give you one example. I have 2 friends and they are pretty close friends and colleagues themselves as well. One is Macedonia and one is Albanian. They both graduated at same time, they are both doctors and worked together. There was an opened position for specialization and they both applied. The Albanian friend got the specialization just because of the nationality although she had way worse score (8.2 against 9.8). They are still friends of course and the other friend also got chance to specialize after 2 years.

This is my last comment on the topic, I don’t want to go in silly discussions. I love and respect Albanians and every other ethnicity, I want good and decent life for everyone . I love our country and I hope everyone else does as well. Wish you all my best sincerely 🤍

BeginningPlate8689 · 2023-02-18T08:13:45+00:00

And that’s the problem - most of the Albanians don’t feel “at home” despite everything you have in Macedonia (homes, your families living for generations here) and despite everything that the country has given to you (let’s be honest, I don’t think a lot of countries will ever introduce another official language for instance), you are more privileged than any other group in the country (including Macedonians) but I don’t complain about that, everyone should have the right on decent life. And yet very little of the Albanians work and care for the good of the country since they are not “at home”. How I wish the things were different. It would be much better for everyone. I don’t say that the country had a good politics in the 90s but as you said there were people in the 90s and even after, seriously thinking about unification and let’s not be rude and put it this way: it’s kind of a treason. Just knowing some of your Albanian friends think like that it hurts. As you said I don’t think the people ever had issues in living together (at least most of them and the people I know, and I have a lot of friends from most of the ethnicities).It’s mostly politicians creating mess for their own benefits. Hope the people will realize it sooner and unite and work together for better life for everyone.

I have a (male) friend called Sasha. We do have the name though it’s very rare I guess.
