I'm slowly moving my games to an enclosed trailer:

Here is a pinball game I own:

I get just under 30k a year. Most of it is from social security and the other that is from a retirement plan. Because of the combination I don't owe any money in income tax. Therefore I don't file. I could demonetize my YouTube channel but it's just easier to ask people not to subscribe and like. If somehow I do make any money I will be open to suggestions on who to give it to as far as a charity. I like being retired. Because at this point in my life I've basically have everything paid for. One small house, 6 acres of waterfront property for recreation. Good place to go plinking. Three motorcycles two which are Harleys. A car and a truck. And everything is paid off I have no loans for anything. If you watched the first video you'll see my mom who is currently on hospice. I'm going to miss her when she's gone, but then I get my freedom to do anything I want including going to pinball expos or riding one of my Harleys across country. Oh yeah one more thing if you're interested in how make enough money a year and not having to file income tax. Because if I knew this when I was 20 years old I'll be getting almost 70 grand a year. The trick is to invest so your payouts are in long-term capital gains. That's because the first 40 Grand is tax free. Don't take my word for it look it up yourself. I tell you this because it really pisses me off when I hear morons tell how the rich pay their fair share. Such b*******.

Currently I have posted here and one other forum. If some how I get to those requirements I will give the money made to a charity. My not subscribing an not liking YouTube is genuine. It seems everyone needs to be making money on You tube, I don't. I don't get to go outside that much and have gone a little crazy taking care of my mom.

I will do that. Not all the stuff I own is pre-war. But everything except one pinball game is coin operated.

You don't understand the rules of taxes and/or what I'm talking about.

SS is not taxed unless it over a certain amount. And that amount is combined with other sources (32k). Like my retirement. Let say I get 925 in retirement and 1562 in SS. I owe no tax because the retirement is only 11100 a year. The combined is 29844 well below the 32000. If some how I earn over 2156 dollars with YouTube I will be giving anything past that to a charity with out taking it as income. And I still don't file because I owe no taxes.
Now find a long term calculator for Long term Capital Gains. If I was smart when I was young and had a big nest egg say in a Roth IRA and took the interest of 40k and bought stocks, hold them for over a year before cashing them out. Then that Income is Long term Capital Gains. That income is a Goose egg or zero as far as taxes go. Not Increasing my tax burden. So now I would have 69844 for income and I'm not filing.

Filing Income Taxes is one of the most risky thing you can do. It ranks up with slapping a Mob Boss or jump out of an airplane with a chute full of holes.

Thank you for your concern for my mom. My family has never come close to what you have written. Except for my one sister, I'm a low life Dirt-bag who has nothing better to do than take care of mom.

My problem is the difference between long-term and short-term capital gains. With short-term capital gains your tax just like hourly wage slave. But if you hold off from taking profit or interest for just over a year you get a free ride for the first 40K and then everything else after is 15%. It's not hard to change short-term capital gains into long-term capital gains you just have to be patient. How many people know this? How many people know that if you reinvest into stocks and then hold them for a year, your first 40k it's a free ride? And just how many people know if you don't owe any income tax you're not required to file? Or should I say you "must" file. Another thing I like about our government they don't use the word "require" an income tax documentation. Otherwise their documentation would have Fourth Amendment issues.

Investments is gambling the only difference is that the house doesn't always have the advantage. Yes you could lose your principal when you invest. But it's not hard to find Rock solid investments that turn out 6 to 9% yearly. Yes you're right about short-term capital gains it is not much as an hourly employee. But it's nowhere close to being the almost Free Ride of long-term capital gains. And yes I was one of those stupid young people who didn't invest at all. I also thought that eventually the government will need a big chunk of money to fix the problems they cause with social security and other things. And they would turn to individual retirement funds to fix the problem. I also believe that it will happen eventually.

When I went to school nothing was taught about finances or how to be responsible with money. And it continues today. It's a real issue that people think it's okay to borrow money when they have no means or a little means to pay it back. The school system should have been ingrained all the students that this is just a dumb idea. But most people think that a good credit score is the same thing as having money. And most people in the United States are living almost paycheck to paycheck.

I'm retired and I have everything paid off. House cars motorcycles. So with an income of just under 30k I don't need to work. I have a few dollars invested in gold and silver physical that is. Oh by the way gold and silver is a scam all into itself. I own my own small house. I have a recreational property of six acres that's waterfront. So in 63 years I've done all right.

Once mom's gone I like to do a YouTube series on riding my Harley across country and giving people a little insights on s*** they don't know. Like there are three types of employees. Hourly, salary and salary non-exempt. Hourly pays on an hourly wage and anything after 40 hours within the work week is time and a half. Salary pays whatever you agreed to. $200 a day, $1,500 a week or $40,000 a year. and of course there's only certain jobs that can be salary. Engineer, salesman, management and two others I forget. Then there's salary non-exempt. Do not take a salary non-exempt job. It's kind of like an hourly wage but anything after 40 hours a week is paid at half your hourly rate. I worked in IBM for a few years and they were pulling this nonsense salary non-exempt. Because we are working 3 days on 3 days off 4 days on 4 days off. Some weeks were short and some weeks was 44 hours. The 4 hours were just paid at half my hourly rate. When I showed my pay stubs to my fellow employees they told me I was wrong. But they weren't getting pay stubs. I was one of the few who didn't have direct deposit.

Not everybody is stupid but damn there are sure as hell a lot of them. I'd like to think that they're stupid not because they're not smart it's because they just don't have the information they really need. And what really irritates me is people who don't know what they're talking about say stupid stuff. Like one idiot "Guntherson" who suggest then if you have a 401k with 100 grand you should take the hit and invest it in real estate. So now you have 60 Grand and you put in another $150k on a loan to get a duplex. Your income would be much better than just leaving it in a 401k. (Correct!) But this mornron has never been a landlord and he doesn't know the simple fact that one bad tenant can ruin you.

I could go on but I'll leave it to the video series.
