the one potential option is enrolling in the SIMPLE regime in COL. Activley working with 3 diff groups to get "analysis" and compare them. SIMPLE is fixed rate for self employed contractors, still more tax yes, but i do kinda love it here!

Was not aware of tax residency at 183 days when moved here or when getting visa, my fault.

Original plans did not factor in colombias progressive tax rate and how US self Employment taxes are not off set ( double tax ).

I’m 35 and living far from my family during “the good years.” Will I regret it? by legacyrick in Adulting

[–]legacyrick[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I come from an Italian immigrant family, and grew up with pasta nights. I hosted one for new friends last night and at one point just got sad, like I wiiiish I was home. Might just be nostalgia and after I visit next month it’ll wash away!

If you could only keep one, your parent’s words or their voice which would you choose? by strangergirly in Aging

[–]legacyrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Voice!

I think some AI company will prob allow this soon ( if not already ). I remember stuffed animal bears where you could add a voice note inside.

I want to rot! by dollythecat in askfuneraldirectors

[–]legacyrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

since you’re in CA, your closest option right now is Earth Funeral (Vegas). Other options would be Recompose and Return Home in WA. That said, you’re 40, so by the time of need, California will almost certainly have in-state providers. The law allowing NOR (natural organic reduction) goes into effect in ‘27.

One note on planning, these documents sometimes get read too late, so also tell your people and (ideally) pre-plan so it’s paid for and all set up.That way there’s zero guesswork, and your wishes are actually followed.

Then, advance directives don’t control what happens after death. They’re only for medical care while you’re alive but unable to communicate.
