With a 1099 I would try and stay under $100k unless you have plenty of write offs. Its a much different tax bracket.
I have had good jobs in the past. At the moment I am working part time on minimal wage. I get 490 pounds per month (that is not a typo). So in a year that would be 5880 so about $9500 per year. JS you should have made me my own special category haha. You all thought I looked ok now you think I look really good for a poor man
Just above the poverty line...
I like your new avi btw.
ah bro, you know I don't care bout $ I am just curious.
its funny cuz I think most my life I chased the big money. now I just want stable good money. I don't know... my priorities been changing for a while now.... getting farther and farther away from this sport.... I feel a lot of the "benefits" it had for me are dwindling.... guess I find myself wondering what you guys do outside of bb'ing to make a living rather than "how much tren with test do you run" lol

I don't believe in roadblocks. onward and upward always.....

Really good question. I was fortunate to be raised in a well of family. My dad owns a large distribution business and I've ran than since I was 21, working for him 16-21 learning the ins amd outs, then 21-24 running all distribution operations for him. A week before my 25 birthday I decided I would pursue my dreams and not build my self worth and wealth off my fathers shoulders. So this last june I up and moved across the country. It was tough the first month or so but luckily landed and alrighy job. I make a base salary which ends up being 35k a year or so, but with bonuses and commission I can make 45-200k in the next couple years. It isn't my dream and I'm still pursuing that. But with the economy being the way it is, its tough. I feel blessed for what I have and bought one of my dream cars a month or so ago, so its nice.

i like reading that. looking back i was bitter i couldn't carry on my fam business but my brother in law did. i was jealous and resentful over that. now that i have this business that looks like its going to work and after reading your post, i realize sometimes for some people making your own way is as satisfying or more.
i would have loved to make my dad proud and do what he did. but i feel i can make him proud doing my own thing too. maybe more proud

An LLC requires registration every year and it is more costly than an S-corp which is every 5 years I believe. I do not know if that's a state to state variance, but where i live an LLC is $300 annually as opposed to S-corp $150 every 5 years.
I'm healthy but not wealthy.
