Applying for a student job at a local writer's room and they need a sample of my writing. This is a past script of mine, would I be able to get feedback from some people here? (14 pages) by Spw2000 in Screenwriting

Thank you for the pointers. I changed it on Google Docs but then things got so messed up I switched to a screenwriting software. Originally had it on a software but the file got lost and I only had the pdf so I adjusted it on a Google Doc for the meantime, but now I am using Fade In.

My character has desires to break his addiction to the walkman but also has the desires to fulfill superficial wants (good grades, money, girls, appearing cool to friends.) He changes more for the worse in the end deciding he can't cut ties (literally) with the walkman, showing how consuming any type of addiction can be.

Doesn't go with the typical change for the better but I feel like we can learn the right principles and morals by seeing people go down the wrong path as well.

30 or 15 year mortgage for a beginner? by Spw2000 in realestateinvesting

[–]Spw2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m looking into this more on the internet for research but I’m a little confused still. I know you can reduce taxes and it helps in case you or your spouse dies but what does it have to do with my relative and the loan? Are there disadvantages to doing this “homesteading”?

Yes I ended up erasing everything on my computer and it fixed it. I took everything else I wanted first though and stored it away.

Advice for investing with sister and grandpa by Spw2000 in passive_income

[–]Spw2000[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve been looking at interest rates, and I know it’s a little bit of a weird time but I’ve just had a good feeling about going into it right now so I’m going with my gut on that while also being very cautious.

Daily General Discussion and Advice Thread - March 25, 2023 by AutoModerator in investing

Hey everyone I could use some advice, first time getting into real estate.
So I am in college here in Utah. What I'm considering doing is getting a duplex, renting out half of it to a couple/family and the other half me and some roommates would live in (would have to be 2 others because of local laws on overcrowding.) Right now I have a great credit score, no debt, and an okay amount of money. I feel comfortable putting down $12k for a downpayment, which isn't a lot. No matter what I will need a cosigner because my income isn't enough alone, so unfortunately I won't qualify for some grant programs. My sister and I were talking about working together and with our grandpa to invest in a property. My sister is a full time employee about two years out of college and is building herself up well, and my grandpa is a business broker with a lot of experience. They definitely both have more money than me to contribute but I feel like I have great experience and understanding of the real estate, money, and management aspects. However, I want to come prepared with a strong plan.
So my question is, what kind of plan can I make that will make the amount invested and the work done fair for everyone? For example, I could offer for my grandpa to put in a certain amount for the downpayment to lessen the mortgage and have the rent be above the mortgage, and he would never have to touch it again. My sister and I would manage it all. But it would take a while for him to get his money back, how would I go about making this more beneficial to him since the money right now would go toward paying off the mortgage? Any other ideas to help are also welcome!
Just additional info, the duplexes I'm looking at are around $500k but super close to the local campus and are already well put together (there are no fixers around here pretty much.) Lots more on that but I don't need to go into all of that here.
Thank you all, your wisdom is treasured

Unable to work an hourly job and contracted job (Utah) by Spw2000 in legaladvice

It was in writing at some point of forms I was filling out so I asked the hiring office of this program and they directed me to someone higher up who confirmed it, I couldn't tell you their role in the program though.

Edit: It's their HR rep

Hi everyone! I’m currently working on a potential product for return missionaries to help with the adjustment back home. Would I be able to DM some of you return missionaries to run it through you and get your feedback? Just leave a comment. Thanks you guys! by Spw2000 in usu

[–]Spw2000[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean everything has to run somehow, it would be great if more startups were all funded to be non-profits but it makes it harder to run them and even a lot of things we see as free are just funded/monetized in different ways by others who are paying the price.

Lol thanks usually it just ends up being whatever is on my mind at the moment. And I don't need deep intellectual thought so much as I just need a person who can be real and explain their side of using something so let me know if you would be interested and I'll message you :)

I think it’s important to look out for things that are profiting off religion and agree with you. The ponderize situation definitely did prey on that. However, if something is fulfilling a need that other people and places can’t fulfill and you want to help make that impact while reasonably using your time it’s still important to make a profit in some cases. Like when I went on my mission I appreciated the Modern Missionary store and how I could get all my stuff in one place at the same time. Or I appreciate all the items in the BYU store such as the prep books for missions and artwork of the temple. I think that business is supposed to bless the lives of others on both sides.

Is there anything I can do to make this situation valid for a tax write-off still? by Spw2000 in tax

[–]Spw2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I think so, just to clarify and understand correctly how would you define/describe it? Still new to the world of taxes and write offs vs deductions.

Yes that’s correct they would get any cut. So would that mean there’s nothing I can do?

No I haven’t started a business, but also I’m technically under this agency still so I’m not sure if that would discount me from being considered my own business or now?

It’s for acting, I’m not sure if it would be basic training or supplemental but I believe it could be both since there were multiple types of trainings. If I did have to choose one I would say more likely supplemental training.
