Ditto, but you could handle the benefits of long term passive income. This is solved through division of labor. Stick to flying airplanes and let property managers and handymen do what they are good at. Trip7 hits the nail on the head with "division of labor"


If I had it to do over again, I would have bought a rental property with my ROTH IRA and had all that profit go in to my retirement account tax free (dyodd btw on that).

Lots of DYODD required when dealing with ROTH IRA and income property

I don't have anywhere near enough information on these various proposals so I am not committed to any of them. I do know that my tax bill when I retire will not be significantly less than it is now, so adding to my current tax bill might not be the best plan for me. What I hope the MEC comes up with are options and not an all or nothing plan that incorporates either all of us or none of us. That would truly suck.
The problem with most of the proposals so far is that someone else is managing the money, which dilutes the return. Furthermore, the plans are often at greater risk because they lay outside of ERISA protections.

You may be in a situation where the tax savings outweigh the risks for a short term NQDC plan.

The sad part is a lot can't see the Forrest through the trees and are doing exactly that.

Is that a freudian misspelling of "forest" there?????

By the way, the saying "You cannot see the forest for the trees." In other words, don't concentrate on the minutia and forget about the big picture.

Maybe other peoples "big pictures" are different than yours...

Auto correct victim. Clearly everyone here has a different big picture.

There is only one Big Picture, and you get to see it after your last flight. Then they wave this ballpoint pen in front of your face, and...er...what were we talking about?
