Something I did last year Rayz since I do my have to pay taxes is an installment agreement. Gives you extended time to pay (you pay once a month) until it's paid off.

plan C may never happen. I prob shd hv kept Plan C to myself, but we all hv to consider the next route if Plan A&B doesn’t work.

Correct. I care more about my kids than I do myself and would never cheat them out of anything. We are talking about $2300 that without a doubt b replaced w interest.

I was w u @GatorXP until ur last sentence. I don’t think it’s wise for me to include them. This wd b without their knowledge if it comes to this. They can’t touch this money until their older anyways. These kids’ savings accts are for deposits only. Not allowed to take from it. It’s a car fund sort of thing for when they get older. It’s pretty much me saving for them, but also teaching them to save their own. They put in some of their CMas $, birthday $, occasional allowance.

K. U guys r starting to sway me. This is why I enjoy 2+2. I get free counseling on all sorts of matter. @Jolette and others may be right about this.
Plan C may never happen, but if it does I’ll start w the 80% of $2300.

But if I need those last couple bullets...

#fulltransperancy bro, with us, with your girl, with your kids and everything will always be ok.

Obv there are times it may not be appropriate for kids as they may not be capable yet. They are yours to decide when, just keep the # in mind.

Looking forward to your come back success stories. Started with a <img /nl challenge, now we're here.

Was working much more over holiday break, but now down to 1day. RTA doesn’t starts til April. Really been working hard to get this #sidehustle off the ground.
Yes, I hv been saving that money. It’s the reason I had to get a bank to cash these tennis checks. So the 1k I started my account w is all from Tennis. It’s not much, but helps. Right now it sits around $1400.

Sell some of your art on eBay.

Exactly. People don’t realize that everything I have has came from my poker talents. The Melody down payment was from poker earnings, it was paid off through poker earnings. The inground pool was from poker earnings. Paying off my house was a result of poker that parlayed into more $. NL Poker is what I do, and do better than anyone imo.
The money will b easily replaced one way or another before they ever pull from it.
@theProdigy gd ideas on funds. Actually asked Mya last year if she wanted to put all her money on SNAP when it was around $11, but she wanted it staying cash. Low risks funds is a gd idea. Anything but Crypto.

True. I gave this some serious thought a couple weeks back. Ultimately, I hate stuff looming over my head. I’d rather settle up when I can. Makes my mindset better.

I suggested before you buy bitcoin when the price was just under 3k and you said something along the lines of you didn't want to because you hated investing in something you felt like "you missed the boat on". Well you missed a huge boat after you said that and i think thats why you keep slamming crypto. Alot of poker players on this forum made alot of money off it, just because you didn't doesn't mean you have to be bitter and keep knockin it.

I still like and am rooting for you but it doesn't mean im not gonna call you out on some BS. GL rebuilding your roll, think you'll have no prob doing it

That’s true that I’m not a fan of buying where I feel I hv missed the boat.
Your mention of bitcoin actually got me looking into Cryptos. What I was finding wasn’t appealing to me. It’s not bitter, just not something I wanted my money on. I didn’t like it at 6k, 12k, 20k, and continued to not like when it went down to 15k, 10k, 8k.
Things change. At this time, I’m just not a fan of it. I feel it’s too early, filled w red flags, and a long road ahead.
Yes players in this forum made money and players are currently losing money. Hope it ends well for everyone invested.

Doing my best to make this down time productive. Trying to get RTA off the ground and ready for April.

Made some homemade tennis curls. Just need to add some tennis grip. The rocks for weight symbolizes mental toughness.

Phase 2 tax season completed

Sara finished her taxes and ended up getting back $6,260 on Federal and $510 State.
She owes me:
+$5k for her 3rd and final pool installment.
+$1720 for half of children dependents $ and daycare credit $.
= $6,720 coming back to me soon.

She is left with $50. Shd I feel bad? This pool and installment plan was her idea after all.

Anywop, once I group the $6720 w my $6k current be, I’ll b left w a couple grand to start up with. Just like I fig’d it wd b.

Next is Phase 3.
1). Wait for her to get her refund.
2). then I will be able to pay my taxes.
3). Then we get back to grind business.
4). Work on Plan A and Build it up without having to do Plan C.
5). Take some shots here and there.
6). Buy a TSLA model 3.

I guess she is pretty happy to have a paid house because of your poker and stock game in 2017, so I don’t think you should feel bad.

Great calls on Bitc! I stand with you. Do you have any investment advice right now? I saw some tweets from you that said something about a pathway set towards a 2019 recession.
You have done well, so I want your expertise please.
Glglgl on your comeback! Your the man Rayz!
Oh, saw that you are now in top 5 all time in PGC threads. Super cool! I came to the party halfway. Keep it going sir!
