I was self-employed and maxed out my IRA for 26 years...I, as a business, of course matched myself...and there are other ways to get money in it and exceed the maximum... Then my taxable brokerage account is what I retired on...I sell every quarter to support my habits... My IRA will never be needed, so the lawyers shuffled their papers and in 18 years, when I'm 65 and my IRA is unlocked, all three of my children will begin receiving distributions...There's no point in waiting until I die, so they get early inheritance distributions...It will be taxable, but in Indiana, when I die there is no inheritance tax.

Thank you great point. Let me now explain capital gains tax: I am not a tax expert, however I do know that every time you pull money out of the market, called "realizing" a gain (or Loss) you then generate an IRS form for any due capital gains... Pulling out a few thousand is insignificant, as capital gains tax is very very low...But imagine pulling out millions...or Bill Gates playing that game with his Billions! So basically, if you tell me you fear a market crash and you pull out, all I heard is "I'm inexperienced, confused, and retarded" and you're not wealthy... Let me teach you how to become wealthy...

(OP) User ID: 79662918 United States01/01/2022 11:59 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Here is a basic outline of my trust for my family and the future generations as far as I can envision: As I said, I have built as IRA that I don't need. My taxable account is what supports my retirement... So, when I reach 65 in 18 years, imagine the growth! Each of my three children will recieve by direct deposit, 3% of the entire value of the IRA, for a total of 9% per year. At 9% we still grow, either at the 12 average or if we pick great mutual funds, we make 20% or ever more! When I get squished, of course then my taxable account adds to the pot...and the house and other assets...and the same rules apply. My kids are perfectly happy with receiving 3% annually instead of taking their due 1/3, why? 3% of just 1,000,000 = $30,000 each per year 10,000,000 = $300,000/ year as it continues to adjust to the ever growing portfolio! And who cares about inflation when you are making 300k from the family trust on top of you regular salary...You are living right! And the BEST part is when we die! It goes to the next generation, and the next, and so on... I never forgive and I never forget I am a licensed firearm holder. I will, under protection of law, use lethal force if attacked. |

So I would like to once again introduce my theory of, for lack of a better term, the "Do something Syndrome" Basically, my theory has proven correct and effective. In the face of uncertainty in life, and here we are discussing economic uncertainty, people have the kneejerk reaction to "DO SOMETHING". I have proven to myself over the course of 30+ years of investing, that the best strategy is to DO NOTHING... If you pulled out of the market in the last three years, you lost out! Investing is for the long term with the goal of never cashing out...You only take distributions, and let your portfolio grow into a monster!! If you pull your money out of the market trying to time the prevention of a loss and then time the gains, to put the funds back in, you are not an investor...A gambler, but not an investor... If you began the pandemic with 100k, you would have more than doubled your money 200k+ (being very conservative) However, if you missed out on 10 of the largest days of growth in that time period, we calculated you would have lost $35,000, and have $165,000 remaining... Remember, investing is making a loan, not "Here's a few grand, now give it back and hope some money sticks to it" LOL That is not an investment strategy, unless poverty is your goal... Many of you have asked me to make an investment/money thread, so here you go, ask away... Made 60% on SOS coin the other day...
