My Proposal: 15% tariff on all international trade, coupled with a 15% flat fed income tax
Posted by Costanza on 1/31/25 at 5:33 pm
Would:
1. Simplify the tax code, which would result in more compliance in both individual and business tax returns
2. Increase domestic production and jobs
3. Generate significant revenue and grow the economy
4. Boost wages
5. Decrease dependence on foreign nations
6. Encourage businesses to stay and invest in the US
7. Reduce government overreach and the IRS’s power
8. Flat tax is fair

We’ve had a Balsam Hill tree for probably 12 years. Would definitely buy another. Worth the money

Thanks for letting us know
One alternate plan I had considered:
Buy a much less expensive property now, enjoy it for a few years, and then 1031 exchange it into a nicer long term property. That’d obviously limit the brokerage investment potential, but could benefit from appreciation.

Saving/investing for vacation home
Posted by Costanza on 11/9/24 at 5:05 pm
Curious as to the board’s thoughts. In a good position with retirement, have a 2.75 rate on primary residence, kids college is funded, and have built up pretty significant cash savings.
I’d like to invest the lump sum and add additional monthly contributions to a brokerage account with the ultimate goal to pay for a vacation property with cash in 3-5 years.
Willing to take out a loan if rates are reasonable and timing is right on a property that we want. In the meantime, I just figured I’d throw it in VTI/QQQ and let it ride until we’re ready to pull the trigger. I’m interested in opinions and strategies to assist with this. Outside of cap gains, what am I failing to consider?
I expect to be in an even stronger financial position in a few years, which should allow for larger monthly contributions, but also a desire for a much more expensive property.
Thanks in advance
