Hypothetical Scenario - Self-Directed Solo 401k - Is it allowable?
Posted by OMapologist on 5/29/19 at 8:56 am
I've got a 9-5 job that enables me to save $1,000/month and I own a single member LLC that generates $1,000/month in net income before taxes. The LLC has a Self-Directed Solo 401k plan.
[i]Can I use my $1,000 9-5 savings to pay my LLC for some services and thereby increase my contributions to th...

Another vote for QB over Sage here. I use both QB Enterprise and QBO. To be fair I have only limited experience with Sage.
While Quickbooks itself is not great at inventory management (if that's really what you're looking for), Quickbooks is best in class when it comes to 3rd party integrations ...

[quote]At this point, I just suggest putting in the miles. I'd try to run 5x a week. Just get in the miles. That's only 4 weeks. 20 runs, make them count.[/quote]

Help!
Ran a half marathon 2 months ago (at about an 11 min/mile pace). I have only run about 5 times since not anticipating doing another one any time soon.
I was just reminded that I'm suppose to be doing one on March 2nd and I'd like not to disappoint. I'd also like to improve my time.

[quote]I'm curious if we should just take standard or itemize still. [/quote]
Assuming you're in a state with income taxes, you'll need to consider both options carefully. You'll be required to take the same deduction on your state return that you did on your federal return. The problem here is t...

I live in Macon. It's not nearly as bad as this board would have you believe. There are plenty of good things going on in the revitalization of the downtown area. And those who say there's nothing to do are the types of people who don't do much regardless. Feel free to ask me anything specific you'd...

You don't know me, bro. I'm just telling you, after 7-8 months of being intentional and paying close to attention to what/when/how I eat, I believe this to be the case for me personally.

I'm currently down 26 pounds since late March. I started by going low (but not 0) carb, giving myself cheat meals after every so many pounds I dropped. Gradually, I started adding more and more exercise while trying not to increase my calorie intake. I eat more carbs now than when I started, but I'm...
