If you can explain how that's a good thing I will let my mind be at ease.


You say you paid close to $45,000 in State and Federal taxes. Your income had to be in the neighborhood of $200,000. You still had $150,000 left to live on. My question would you rather pay taxes on $200,000 or taxes on $50,000.

Don’t get me wrong I don’t like to pay taxes any better than anyone else, but given the choice of paying taxes on $50,000 and $200,000. I chose $200,00.

I did taxes for several rental owners and almost all were losing monies even when they were able to do almost all the remodeling and maintenance themselves. Many chose to invest in these to hide income and grow assets. Many were carpenters, plumbers, etc. that were handy, made very good money and chose to invest in rental RE.

In my experience noting is the the IRS's fault. LOL Just pointing out to yousowise that paying taxes on a bunch of money does not mean you have a dime.

My example was not real life. The one in real life was an land contract amortized much shorter then 20 years with a triple net lease. Was a small part of a bigger deal with a business being purchased separately. Was still the losing part of the deal. As you say does erase a bit of income and hopefully it is a asset that maintains or grows in value.


I’ll stand by the large income equals large taxes. A good chunk of that payment would have been paying down your mortgage giving you lots of equity. Like I said above, no one likes taxes and our tax system is messed up, but I would rather make a lot and pay a lot, than make little and pay little.

Net worth or equity comes in handy when you die or when you want to borrow money. Those that know how to leverage their equity and borrow against their equity and make sound investment or business decisions do very well. Especially over the last couple decades where we have incredibly low interest rates, and until recently very low inflation which many tangible assets have risen considerably in value. The proof of that to me is the massive decline in small to medium sized businesses in almost all sectors. The growing firms are willing to pay small business owners more to work for them then they feel or know they can make for themselves and their life is not as vulnerable.
Yes we are in times of high inflation and yes that hurts everyone but the wealthy have more equity to leverage over the long term than those with less. Also inflation for living things like housing, food, energy, education etc. costs the lower income earners percentage of total income far more than the wealthy. Job turnover rates are at extremely high levels and with UE low that means many positions are vacant and my stay that way for a while. Several moving for more money and benefits. Also we are seeing that many that moved for higher pay the las year or two are not satisfied with their choices and thus more turnover and lower productivity and performance. Many tech school enrollments are down a lot. Many taking on 15-20 per hour with no training, suggests we will be short of higher tech industrial skills in a few years or businesses paying for the education over time. Many concrete and mortar schools may really struggle in the near future.

I agree, I live very well and I'm not saying even close to I can't live off what I make. Just because I can live comfortably doesn't make me want to give up money I earned to deadbeats. I guess that's just my philosophy. I'd like to go out and buy a thermal tomorrow because I can but now that I've paid for $6900 worth of someone sitting on a couch I guess I'll have to wait a month or two smile

Calm down cowboy,never said I agree with it-pointing out how govt dis-incentivises people accumulating wealth.
The more money you have the less they can control you.
I prefer to give extra money to support causes that are important to me instead of giving it to the gov't to use against me.
That way I control where it goes and keep it out of the hands of the beurocrats as much as possible.
Just spending it adds to what the govt gets of your hard earned money.
Barter is the way to go whenever possible,I use the barter system extensively.
Lots of country/rural folk have a great many skills that fit into the barter system very well.
