My wife and I were traveling back with the kids from Pittsburgh, and I spotted this truck and asked her to take a picture of it.
I told her this truck driver made $750K when his employer (C.H.I. Overhead Doors) was sold.

And the truth of the matter it is really another tax on income. Because the value of the property is unrealized increase. In other words for being taxed on the income based off an asset we haven't made money from.
The property tax system is broken.

We had a group of properties receive ~50% increases in property taxes.
There has to be a better way.

Spoke w/a person who works for the owner of a funeral home & he mentioned things have been slow, lately. Not sure how to respond - If slow, fewer people died, if busy, there has been a massacre 😕

This article @pedromoore sent me is a must-read for small biz owners 📈 It reveals how entrepreneurs gamble with retirement by betting everything on selling their business. 🎰
Rather than go all in, experts recommend diversifying savings into retirement plans like IRAs, Solo 401(k)s, and SEP IRAs. 💰
At @ochowealth, we're building tech to help entrepreneurs automate & optimize retirement investing. 💻 No more leaving it up to chance!
Key takeaways:
- Don't risk it all on a future biz sale - save actively for retirement
- Tons of tax-advantaged options available for solopreneurs
- Together we can fix retirement for small biz owners!
