  1. my accountant called....he told me that with my gambling loses(poker/horse racing/lottery) being about 5K it will drop me below 38000 in yearly earnings and I can expect 2000-3000 of the money they took out for taxes refunded. I need to provide PROOF of 5K in gambling loses.

    now...this makes me sick to type......I emptied the recycle bin friday morning. today is monday night......there was 342.00 worth of instant losers IN THE BIN. found 400 plus in dining room. including 19 20.00s. I also found 500.00 in poker receipts I saved.

    um.....I have a gambling problem.

    other car factor.....I will probably GET PROMOTED if I get one. not a huge raise but few dollars a hour.

    taking physical thursday,...going to get learners permit friday.

  2. isnt 5k the standard deduction for you? meaning you would have to itemize and come with an additional 5k in deductions before seeing additional?

    I know when I had to report winnings it made no diff if I declared 0 or 5k in gambling losses because it was till below standard, I could be waaay off tho as I have no idea about taxes, only that my 5k winning was fully taxed even if I tried to claim 5k losses

    he seemed to be rushing me off the phone and he confused the fuck out of me....he told me to find as many loser tickets as I could find. I guessimate ive THROWN OUT 20K in losers this year.....did I lose 20K??? no! had about 15K in winners. I dont see a problem with me replacing the thrown out tickets with other tickets since I'm not getting greedy...i'm just trying to prove a legitmate gambling lost.

    oh Baseball cards are 100% gambling for me but proving that wouldnt be easy. theres 5K in loses this year too.

  4. Pretty sure its not just as easy as writing 20k wins, 20k loses, no taxes please even if you have the 20k in losers.

    i always thought so, until I tried to do it. perhaps it was just because my gambling loses would have been the same or less than the standard deduction. Prob different if you are going to claim 20k in losses

    either way I think you gonna get audited if you try to, but again im not an accountant but I can see your accountant being as good as charlies lawyer uncle (i mean no offense, especially if he is your uncle)

    So you make $18k in a year, and estimate that you blow $5k of it on baseball cards and another $5k on scratchers?

    I gotta admit I'm pretty damn impressed that you can live off of roughly $8k per year, even if you do live with your dad. I guess what they say is true; mo money mo problems.

  16. As someone who works in finance and "skip traces" (aka tracks dirt bags) / repo's cars among other things. I've talked to plenty of people who have no concept of how to live off the money they have. You are almost as bad as it gets and I guarantee if you borrow money on this car you will have it repo'd chasing the type of cash you just had access to. (telltale sign is you claiming "you've got money coming to you" from relatives, or similar shit) If you don't get it repo'd you're probably the type to hide it until they charge off the debt, sue and get judgement, then garnish your paycheck.

    Do you know how fucking stupid it sounds when you declare you have tons of CC debt and ask people online how much it'll cost you to finance a novelty vehicle?

    Those "settlements" you made after you stopped paying your credit cards - that's after they charged off your debt and gave up on you like they would any other dead beat.

    Is your fucking word and signature worth anything? Is a professional agreement worth shit to you? And you think Target will give you a TL job? Good leaders will recognize these characteristics, and you're not getting a TL job.

    Use every cent of your money paying your debt. If there's surplus, buy a car with cash, forget financing a car. Financing is not for you (or most people), neither is poker or gambling.

    You need to face your problems and resolve them not use a new vehicle as yet another temporary high. Its possible: you just have to take your head out of your ass.

    Yeah, I don't post much but I've got experience with people making bad financial decisions and you put it out there... I hope this helped you or someone and I'm sorry that its harsh.
     
  17. I agree with everything you say except the target part. HOW THE FUCK WOULD YOU KNOW HOW THE FUCK I PERFORM AT MY FUCKING JOB. I NEVER MISS A DAY. IM NEVER LATE. I HAVE BEEN OFFERED O F F E R E D THE JOB ASSWIPE BUT I DONT DRIVE AND SEPTA DOESNT REACH.

    lot of war bashing here. fine with it. BUT I WORK HARD AT MY JOB AND AM PROUD OF THE WORK I DO AT MY JOB AND FUCK SOME LURKER ASSCLOWN THINKS HE KNOWS WHAT TARGET WANTS.

  18. Target's okay in my book. Good place to get socks and boxers and stuff like kitchen utensils and Christmas lights. The popcorn's not bad either.
  19. Gotta get my boxer shorts at K-Mart
  20. If you know the WAR story, this thread may be top top.

    I don't know where to begin OP, but read this thread over and over an hope something sinks in.
  21. http://www.pocketfives.com/f13/my-cr...-637-a-505182/

    This is the first thread at the bottom of this page. WAR should re-read that and think about a car. Honestly, the best choice would be:

    1. Pay off debt
    2. Play a few events/Document next years WSOP on video, post on P5's daily during trip
    3. ???
    4. Profit!!!

    then everybody wins
  22. LOL @ the serious lengthy replies here to WAR. Some here gave it some good laughs!
