"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Which tax scheme would you choose?

6% overall or 15% from profit only?


Let's say you buy a keyboard for $100, and you install it for $20. $100 + $20 = $120. So on 6% you pay 6% from $120, and on 15% you pay %15 from $20.

There is more, for 15% you can write off your expenses, such as office rent, fire, garbage, etc.


Initially I intended to pay 6%, but some mother f'rs in our IRS changed it to 15%, so I'm stuck with 15% for the end of the year.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

But the keyboard is not an expense?

The easy way to cheat would be to manipulate the price of the keyboard on the receipt. Sellers of anything are often happy to write you whatever you want for a receipt in order to get your money.

Just hire a CPA, don't go by anything anyone might say here. I work with the IRC regularly and can't figure out what you are talking about.
