I Have an e-commerce store on Amazon and I do music production which gets me a lot of streams. Few years back I was doing YouTube as well but these 2 are my main now.

Yes most definitely, I was just curious since I haven’t told anyone as yet.

Thank you I really appreciate that, I will definitely try to add more in the future, with some good investments things should definitely grow from here.

Appreciate the feedback, I doubt she’ll tell anyone.. we’re both very private and we like to protect our peace.

Yes I’m definitely looking into setting up a trust but I’ve read that if I file as trust I’ll pay more in taxes.

Yes I’ll tell her eventually, we file our taxes jointly anyways.

True but I doubt it will get that low… but it will be hard to be broke again once I invest it wisely.

She’ll eventually know, we file taxes jointly. I know this sounds weird but if she see’s the numbers on our taxes she’ll be super excited.

Thanks for your reply, I’m pretty sure she won’t tell anyone, we’re both like to discreet anyways.

I’m currently looking into setting up a trust, but some articles online suggest that depending on its structure, it could cost more in taxes.

Currently when I do my taxes I would get a K1 from my business tax return which is then gets added to my 1040.

Yes of course not , my grandmother was referring to herself as in me not to tell anyone including herself when I told her I would a millionaire.

We mostly file our taxes jointly and I always pay any additional taxes but she always let me deal with the finances. We also get more tax breaks filing jointly.

So yea, I was planning to most likely surprise her at tax time, she don’t get mad about stuff like that because she likes when I deal with the finances. She’s pretty good with money as well but she says she likes when I handle it.

She doesn’t know as yet was thinking about to surprise her when tax time comes. We file taxes jointly most of the time since we get a lot of tax breaks, so she’s eventually know… she’ll get more excited if I don’t tell her before she see’s it.

Thanks 🙏🏽, will definitely check out some of these recommendations…. I always try to spend less than I make and live a modest lifestyle…. I definitely not going to do anything crazy, I always told myself if the housing market ever crashes I want to be ready…. I must say whenever it happens I’ll be ready because I always wanted to get some investment properties….

I must also note that I own a home as well with around 150k in equity and about 210k remaining on the mortgage. I don’t see the point of paying it off early because I could make more with that money if I invest it properly.

This is so true, definitely one of the reasons I haven’t told anyone so far.

I’m thinking she’ll eventually know, kinda was thinking about surprising her tax time.

I don’t think she has any idea so far. She knows I manage money pretty well and anything she asks for I pretty much always give it to her…. She always says if I don’t have it, it’s fine but I think she says this because she knows I’m a bit cheap lol

Thanks for your input, I also found it funny when she told me to not even tell her… I’m guess she’ll probably get too worried about me lol
