I make 43 dollars an hour but after taxes it basically comes out to 1350 a week which in reality is nothing

$43/hr on paper sounds great but it's just as meager as $23/hr (what I was making before I got this job) once Uncle Sam gets his grimey paws on it

How do I cope? Taxes are so fucking gay it's unreal

You need to learn to game the tax system
I recommend hiring a good local accountant

What's the best way to ask an accountant if they will help you hide money and not pay taxes and shit without saying it

This is like asking a lawyer "how do I get away with crimes"? Except unlike a lawyer he is under no legal obligation to keep it a secret.

Which is more important to you? Income or wealth? Your answer determines how to proceed.

Most generic accountants have nfi.

Realistically you need to speak with a tad lawyer.. A dodgy one.

You just say that you want to minimise your tax as much as possible whether it be through trusts, corporate entities etc.

Probably get knocked back a few times because what you're trying to do is illegitimately reduce your tax liability but there's definitely plenty of lawyers out there willing to help.

I get 72k$(+13.5k$ 401k) annually in Ohio and even though my expenses are 1500$ a month it still sucks. You can't beat inflation.

>> No.52440425

Unless you make 1 mil+ a year salary is fucking meaningless you are still a wageslave
Making 50k is the same as 200k

>> No.52440495

>>52440425

disagree. 6 yrs ago i started my first 'professional' job at 50k. i am at 225k now. it's not comparable. i would say you start getting diminishing returns after 125k or so. i agree even 225k, 350k, etc. you are still wage slaving though. it's enough to live comfortably, invest, etc. but you still don't have enough to outright stop working or deploy capital for a business of any particular merit. you are just the upper echelon of wage slaves. the thing is though it DOES allow you to get to a non-wage slave point faster though. maybe 10 years instead of 30. that's not irrelevant.

holy shit, you have enough to rent an apartment for the night, and get 4 days worth of food to give away if you want, in just 3 hours.
that means you literally have enough to buy a half dozen shares of a stock paying 6%, every single day.
you're so fucking lucky.

“Sheltering” anon. It’s the magical word that isn’t flagged in wire taps like “evasion” is
