I have a tax question.

2018-11-29 22:41:39 UTC  

I’m driving quite a bit for IE purposes, and I intend to mark so on my taxes. Will I need to provide documentation like odometer readings? How does all of that work?

2018-11-29 22:44:37 UTC  

Is IE your employer?

2018-11-29 22:45:53 UTC  

I found this from TurboTax

2018-11-30 01:00:23 UTC  

Yes

2018-11-30 01:04:01 UTC  

You can deduct the miles driven in a personal car for work.

2018-11-30 01:08:17 UTC  

The more documentation you have the better it is at tax time. Here is the IRS' own words.

okay someone explain this to me

2018-12-07 11:39:24 UTC  

to rent a house or get a mortgage you need proof of income

2018-12-07 11:39:33 UTC  

but once you move, you won't have that income anymore

2018-12-07 11:39:46 UTC  

so how do you get prove of income to move somewhere far away?

2018-12-07 11:51:06 UTC  

Maybe a job offer letter will do?

2018-12-07 15:30:54 UTC  

@Jacob @Ecarttev yep job offer letter, paystubs, and proof of assets.

2018-12-07 16:12:28 UTC  

okay so this is my plan for when I finally move

2018-12-07 16:12:33 UTC  

don't buy at first

2018-12-07 16:12:41 UTC  

because that's a huge decision

2018-12-07 16:13:10 UTC  

rent a place for a while, and, while I'm there, learn about the home buying process and physically examine potential homes

2018-12-07 16:13:16 UTC  

and then buy when I'm ready

Save while the times are good, y’all. Live below your means.

2018-12-10 18:23:48 UTC  

Yeah, I'm getting out soon.

2018-12-10 19:42:56 UTC  

Yeah I've been selling off holdings for over a month and I pulled out my last holdings two weeks ago after I've been bleeding for months, just before the most recent cratering. The market does seem to be bouying on speculation that the fed is going to save it by not raising interest rates this tuesday or wednesday. I don't know what to make of that, but my short-term short position on S&P500 wasn't great this morning.

2018-12-10 20:30:20 UTC  

Maybe we'd be better off if Trump doesn't get reelected and some Democrat gets blamed for the next crash

2018-12-12 03:00:59 UTC  

I’m betting they’ll crash the market before the 2020 election.

Classic rant on how the middle class spends way too much on automobiles.

@Tanner - SC I wonder what he would say about houses in NYC? I live here and renting is reasonably affordable but buying here seems insane, I just don't see how the numbers for that ever work out.

2018-12-16 21:24:29 UTC  

Does anyone know a good budget program or app. I'm trying to get an idea of exactly where I stand and I'd like to make printable balance sheets.

2018-12-16 21:36:02 UTC  

I know basic excel but I don't want to pay for it on my home computer.

2018-12-16 21:49:39 UTC  

Office Libre is an Open source Office suite.

2018-12-16 21:49:56 UTC  

It's Excel counterpart is capable

2018-12-16 22:08:36 UTC  

Mint is the best thing i am aware of. Not sure if it’s printable though

2018-12-16 22:56:18 UTC  

Thanks @Tanner - SC That's exactly what I was looking for.

2018-12-16 23:22:23 UTC  

Did my budget. It hurts. I did notice a few areas where I am spending a lot more than I should be though. I spent almost $600 on fuel in November. Don't buy an F-250 and then use it for cross country trips guys.

2018-12-18 02:20:45 UTC  

How about them stocks eh
