    Atlanta trucker : “To gain more freedom through loaning poor people your money”
    Wow, so now I know what freedom is, it’s money. So when people say our troops fight for our freedom, they really mean our money, and poor people are just there to take advantage of. But when someone disagrees with rich people cutting their taxes and raising mine, that means they hate freedom ???? Wow, that is some twisted logic.

    Steer Tire -I would like to know how your employer allows you to report the per diem as income or not, if that’s actually a choice, because that would change things it seems.
    But you said “when you report your income” I don’t get what you mean by that, do you mean when you fill out the form ?

    Eingrish teachers amuse me :) But so do financial wizards.

    I met Harry Potter once. Maybe twice. Nope, could have been three times. I suck at math.

    I am really not sure how these companies get away with that perdiem because they call it a reimbursement for expenses but they take it out of your pay ..... and then some charge you to do it ..... they do it with health insurance but that just keeps you even with the people that have insurance provided. ..... why couldn't you get 1500 a year deducted from your pay as clothing and supplies and save money that way ... it boils down to the raised the standard deduction and lowered the tax rate and got rid of most of the itemized deductions. .. now they are backtracking on the state taxes and letting this per diem thing go

    Haha, yeah. Well, some important things I own outright, like a guitar and a Harley, but in the long run I guess we’re all really renting anyway right ? My friend used to say if you think you own your house, stop paying taxes and see how long you keep it !

    6 years and counting.

    Your friend should read more. I’ll never have to pay property taxes again. Unless they change the law which has been on the books since statehood.

    Mississippi is the state. Anyone over 65 pays no property taxes. My house is held in an irrevocable trust. My mother has a living estate within the trust, but does not live in it. She is over 65. Should she die within the next 6 years. I will have to pay property taxes for the remaining balance of the 6.

    State property taxes are the hardest to avoid for most people. Federal tax liens, the easiest. If you own your own house, and owe nothing. Talk to an estate planner.

    It’s a trade. You lose possession (in title) and can not borrow against it as an asset. But with proper planning, the IRS can’t seize it either ;)

    If you don’t plan on living in it for the rest of you life. It’s a mute point
