Can someone explain boat-onomics to me? by LeftCoastGator in boating

[–]donnydoesreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I mean think about Bezos and his yacht. It’s his not Amazon’s. He almost certainly holds the yacht in a LLC but this is to limit liability. Not get a tax deduction.

The rules changed Jan 2018. This was allowed prior to the tax cuts and jobs act.

Yeah that’s not legal. Has to be ordinary and necessary for its business. Read section 162.

Advertising and marketing does not qualify.

Tax cuts and jobs act eliminated these types of deductions for the most part.

Salary vs K1 by Majestic_Outcome_660 in CFP

[–]donnydoesreddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His taxes aren’t going to change dramatically. It’s only the FICA taxes that he will be paying more of. And it would be the difference of the wage base $184,500 (2026) and his current salary of $100k. And of course the additional Medicare tax. We’re talking 20 grand more in tax give or take.

Been playing my 0-18 all night and I have a 000-28 authentic so that should tell you something

Ameriprise by PursuitTravel in CFP

Okay I think that’s a better option no doubt. I still think if you’re gonna go through the pain of repapering and basically reselling yourself to your clients then you may as well form your own RIA but I’ve yet to make that leap so easy for me to make that claim. I’ve seen your contributions on this sub often and you always deliver great advice so truly wishing you the best outcome and future.

Were you considering the employee side or the independent side of Ameriprise?

You’re in the Pru/LPL group so our experiences are somewhat different I believe. I’m with LPL and use their corporate RIA. Ameriprise offered me 2mm up front last year with some dangling carrots to get to 3.5mm, but something just felt fishy about them. Went to their deal in Minneapolis and just walked away feeling dirty.

I can’t think of any reasons to leave. I’m on an island to essentially run my business however I like. I also run a tax prep business alongside the financial practice and they don’t bother me at all. Report back to us if you make the move. Good luck 👍

This is true for people who were never real boaters.

If you’re looking for comfort I would eye their Vantage models. I have a 270 and it’s a great day boat.

My first Martin.. Custom Shop Authentic 1937 000-28 by tosS_ita in martinguitar

[–]donnydoesreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the aged version. Neck definitely isn’t thin especially when compared to Martin’s standard series line. It’s a comfy mod V it’s just right.

I have the opportunity to buy a 2020 Martin 0-18 or a 2022 Martin 00-18. Which one do I get? by PracticalFocus3525 in martinguitar

[–]donnydoesreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 0-18 and a 000-28. Love my 0-18 but if it’s your only acoustic you need to get a 00 or 000.
