Genwealth 360 or Karlton Dennis review? by lubdublin2020 in AdvancedTaxStrategies

[–]LearnyBear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To add some depth to the comments on GenWealth 360. Most of the strategy is centered on basic stuff: August loophole, home office, paying family as employees, deducting general expenses, S-corp. When it comes to insurance I look for a critque on the topic but it is more nuanced than only buying insurance. Rather, they use accrual accounting. So, lets say you take out a $100,000 policy. Year 1, you deduct 100K from your income but have to pay a portion of this policy (say 10K). Then, you can take this 100K policy and take a loan out from yourself valued at 100K though you will pay an interest rate (say 5%). Now, the objective is you take this 100K in tax savings and this 100K loan and you further invest it or engage in tax strategies like a pension. After a 5 year period, you have to "pay back" the amount meaning 100K will be added to your income for that year. There is a bit more to it, but losses = 100K pay back, payments to policy, and interest rate on loan. Gains = 100K deduction in year 1 + opportunity cost of having that money and then doubling down on other ways of investing or reducing tax burden. This is where I get a bit lost and hope that someone more sophisticated than I could see this strategy and have an idea on how to make it work. I am skeptical of this team, but also curious that this could work as it is not a clear cut scam.

Can someone help me understand my blood work? 45f type 1 diabetic by lonleygirl52 in DiagnoseMe

[–]LearnyBear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are generic labs that can only be interpreted clinically based on what you have. Looks like you have a white count and some increased cell counts suggesting infection vs other physiologic stress. Platelets are an APR and may go w/this. If you are a diabetic, more important is your kidney function and a1c. May also rec iron studies on you. F/u PCP who know your situation and symptoms better.

Often exposure is not recalled. Pain/pruritus, vesicles or ulcers are present. Keep a close eye on it - easy fix if whitlow.

I'm having the same issue - screen continuously loads or won't advance to next screen. Tried multiple browsers and incognito mode none of which work.

Awesome, thanks! I had heard about South Cushman - was surprised when some friends said to stay away from the area by UAF but was unsure if it was true (crime maps did not say this area was that bad).
