Students Of Success

Alright, another night’s trading has gone by and now we have a potential trade setup.

First, though, let’s go over last night. In case you have forgotten, we sat on the sidelines last night, so for us there was no trade. Now, to give credit where credit is due.

For the traders who did go short at 1.8830 and played the 50 pip profit, they closed their trade within 1 pip of the low of last night. Very impressive trading and I applaud all of you.

However, there was even a better trade taken last night, and of course this trader was sure to let me know about it.

Instead of playing a breakout to the upside of yesterday’s consolidation, he went short at the top of the range. In fact, he took his short at 1.8880. If you look back at the yesterday’s trading, you’ll see just how impressive this is.

Now, don’t misunderstand what I am saying. I am not taking any credit for this trade. In fact, I am using this to show you that any of you can outperform my trading. I say this very proudly, because my goal is to teach you well enough so that I am the worst trader in the room, but I still make the money I make now.

Let’s move onto tonight’s trading outlook.

Since we have continued in our downtrend, we will only be looking for short trades. While in this type of trend, there are two ways to enter into a trade.

One, to enter the trade on a bounce up to a good resistance level. By using this method, you limit your risk and you limit the number of trades you will enter. However, if you can accurately find these trades your profit can be substantial.

Secondly, you can enter trades as price breaks below any previous low. In our case, the low to watch right now is 1.8742 (according to our charts with GFT). This trading method leads to more trades but more risk. However, in severe downtrends you may not get a bounce that will allow you to enter a trade in the first method described in the previous paragraph. By using this method, selling as we break the old low, you position yourself to get short even in the strongest down trends.

Both of these methods have merit and can be traded with great success. Which one you decide to trade will come down to your trading style and preferences.

Some traders will use both of these techniques at different times.

Why do I tell you this? I want to get you into the habit of looking for patterns in trading. I want you to recognize how Cable responds after periods of consolidation, or trends.

This way, you can use this information later in your trading.

Tonight, we see some resistance at 1.8830, and 1.8860 and 1.8880. Any of these levels can play an important role in tonight’s trading. It’s important to pay attention to price action at these levels.

Also, we will keep an eye on what happens if Cable breaks below that 1.8742 low from yesterday.

1.8700 can play a role as support, although we won’t be looking for a long trade tonight. This may be a good place to put your profit targets.

We find these support and resistance levels using a set of technical indicators and other variables that we have found to be most successful for us. We use several other indicators and a variety of technical analysis techniques to enter and exit all of our trades. Every trader will have a different combination of indicators that makes the most sense to them.

Car leasing is extremely popular because it provides an attractive method of driving an automobile that you might not otherwise afford. It allows you to make lower monthly payments than with traditional car purchase loans. About one out of every four vehicles driven by automotive consumers in the United States are leased.

But leasing is not for everyone. You should take the time to learn about leasing, and be sure it’s right for you before making a decision.

What is Leasing

While a purchase loan is a method of financing the ownership of a vehicle, leasing is a method of financing the use of a vehicle for a specified time period. As much as it sounds like renting, leasing is different.

A lease is a formal contract with a leasing provider that allows you to drive the provider’s car and only pay for the portion of the vehicle’s value that you use up during the time you’re driving it. You agree to pay for insurance, licenses, taxes, repairs, and maintenance.

The leasing provider retains ownership and title to the vehicle throughout the lease. At lease-end you can simply return your vehicle to the provider, or you may purchase the vehicle and continue driving it.

Benefits of Leasing

Leasing offers the following benefits when compared to purchase loans:

- Lower monthly payments

- More car, more often

- Minimum or no down payment

- Smaller sales tax bite in most states

- No used-car headaches at end

Who Provides Leases

Contrary to popular belief, car dealers do not lease cars. Banks, credit unions, and financial divisions of major car manufacturers lease cars. Dealers simply act as agents of a leasing provider, such as Ford Motor Credit or GMAC, to arrange the lease on your behalf. Dealers typically work with more than one provider.

Once you’ve picked out the car you want, the dealer sells it to the leasing provider, who leases it you. It’s not necessary, nor is it always the best choice, to use the “captive” leasing company chosen for you by the dealer.

You can arrange for lease financing yourself with an independent leasing company, bank, or credit union after you’ve negotiated price with a dealer. Some lease providers even work with dealers to acquire vehicles for you at reduced prices, saving you money and the stress of negotiation.

Who Should Lease

Leasing makes sense for many automotive consumers, but not for others. Here’s how to determine if you are a good leasing candidate:

- Are you willing to trade ownership of your vehicle for lower monthly payments? Leasing is a great way to lower your payments or drive a better car for your money, but you must be comfortable with having no ownership of your vehicle, unless you purchase at lease-end.

- Can you stick with your lease until the end? Leases require you to commit to driving your vehicle for a specific number of months typically 24, 36, 48, or 60 months. If you feel your lifestyle, your finances, or simply your taste in cars may change significantly in future months, you may not be a good lease candidate. To end a lease early is usually troublesome and costly.

- Do you drive more than 15,000 miles annually? If your answer is yes, you may not be a good candidate because lease contracts are typically written with an annual mileage limit, typically 10,000-15,000 miles. If you drive more that the specified number of miles you will pay a fee for every mile over the limit.

- Do you typically keep your vehicles in good condition and change vehicles every few years? If so, you may be right for leasing. Lease providers require you to keep their vehicle maintained and repaired, with no more than normal wear and tear. If you don’t, you’ll be charged at the end of your lease.

- How is your credit rating? If you have a history of paying your bills on time and don’t have excessive debt, you are a good lease candidate. Otherwise, you may be required to make a large down payment and pay higher finance charges or, worse, be refused the opportunity to lease.

Shopping for a Lease

The most important element of a good lease deal is the price of the vehicle. Regardless of whether you buy or lease, you should always get the best possible price first. When leasing, this price becomes the capital cost, or “cap cost.” Prior loan balances and fees may be added. Rebates, discounts, down payments, and trade-in credit are subtracted. The lower the capital cost, the lower your monthly payment. This is the only element of a lease deal that a dealer directly controls.

The remaining elements of a lease money factor, residual value, and related fees are controlled by the lease provider and are not negotiable.

Since a lease is simply another form of financing, interest charges apply. These interest charges are known as “money factor.” Money factor is expressed as a very small number such as .00375, which is equivalent to 9% annual interest rate. Again, a small money factor results in lower monthly lease payments.

Residual value is an estimate of a vehicle’s wholesale value at the end of a lease term. The longer the lease, the smaller the residual value. Your lease payment is primarily determined by the difference between cap cost and residual value, which is the amount that the value of the vehicle depreciates during the lease. The higher the residual value, the lower the lease cost.

Sales tax may also be included in your monthly payment, depending on the state you live in.

You can easily calculate car lease payments, once you know the key factors, using this Lease Calculator by LeaseGuide.com.

Leasing Fees

There may be certain fees associated with your lease. The fees that lease providers charge vary both in kind and amount. One of the most common is an “acquisition fee”, which is an administrative charge for the work in initiating a lease. Another common fee is a disposition fee, usually charged at the end of your lease when you return your vehicle.

You may also be charged at the end of your lease for excessive mileage, damages, and unusual wear-and-tear.

At the beginning of your lease, you will be asked to pay the first month’s payment, a security deposit, a down payment, if any, and applicable miscellaneous fees associated with licensing a vehicle in your state. You will also be asked to show proof of insurance.

Driving Your Leased Vehicle

Your vehicle must be driven and cared for according to the terms specified in your lease contract. Generally, this means keeping the vehicle in good condition, using it for lawful purposes, maintaining insurance, and allowing it to be driven only by licensed drivers.

not be leveraged. However “No Risk” attorney loans provide a
firm with its future earnings now vs. months and or even years

make the difference in the way a firm is able to grow and expand
and increase its future earnings capabilities compared to the

Have you ever heard the term load and no load in the financial
service industry? The loading of an insurance product usually
always involves the agent’s commission and the company’s
expenses. Some policies have what they call front end loads and
back end loads. These loads are normally associated with
permanent insurance policies. The cost of doing business is all
wrapped up in the loading of a policy. No load term life
insurance is probably the least expensive form of life insurance
in the market. You often wonder what makes one company so much
cheaper than the other and it usually has to do with the type of
goods and services provided. Those goods and services are what
make up the loading aspect of the life insurance policy. The no
load term life insurance policy usually indicates that you are
primarily purchasing direct from the insurance company and with
little or no professional advice or opinion.

The life insurance professional is still very important to a
great number of people. Buying life insurance direct from a
company without an agent may be less expensive but it also may
leave you wanting when it comes to professional counseling and
service. Term life insurance is very simple and so the purchase
of term life insurance may be something that you can handle on
your own without a professional. These are individual choices
and preferences that each of us must decide upon before we buy
life insurance.

Term life insurance is inexpensive to begin with and so
researching the market place for a no load product may or may
not have a major affect on the premium. Ask about loading when
you shop for term life insurance. You may be surprised at what
you learn about the insurance companies and how they come up
with their rates. It will also help you when you inevitably
begin to shop for permanent life insurance.

Need extra money to get you to the next paycheck? Payday loans
come to the rescue. However, you should be prepared to pay the
price which is usually a hefty one. But there are steps you can
take to minimize the financial damage.

What are Payday Loans?

Cash advance loans, post-dated check loans or deferred deposit
check loans are high-rate loans and are intended to be used for
short term. Emphasis here is on short term, usually 14 days
since most of us get paid bi-weekly.

How does a Payday Loan work?

The old economy created the idea of living paycheck to paycheck.
As if that wasn’t bad enough. In today’s economy many don’t even
get to the next paycheck. So, the potential borrower writes a
personal check payable to the lender for the amount she wishes
to borrow plus a fee.

The lender cashes the check and keeps the fee, of course.
Ideally this type of loan will get the borrower room to breathe
and he/she can pay off the loan when he/she gets paid.

Lets take a look at an example. Ms. Susan Borrower needs $200
and the cost is $30. She writes a check for $230 and the payday
lender agrees to hold the check until her next payday that is
usually 14 days away.

After 14 days, depending on the particular plan, Ms. Borrower
takes $230.00 in cash to the lender and takes back the personal
check she wrote. Or, she can roll-over the check by paying a fee
to extend the loan for another two weeks. Each time she
rolls-over the check, she will pay a fee that in this example
was $30. In theory, if she rolls-over the check for one year,
she ends up paying $30 for 26 times or $780 for borrowing $200.

How is the payday loan fee calculated?

Usually lenders charge a fixed fee for per amount borrowed. For
example $10.00 for every $100.00 you borrow and it can be as
high as $30 for every $100.00 you borrow. Ouch and double ouch!
This translates to something like 700% annual rate of interest
and some people are worried about the 20% credit card interest
rate.

How can Truth in Lending Act help you?

Under the Truth in Lending Act, the lenders must disclose the
cost of payday loans. So look for them to compare. Among other
information, you must receive, in writing, the finance charge (a
dollar amount) and the annual percentage rate or APR (the cost
of credit on a yearly basis).

What type of collateral should you have?

Your personal check is the collateral. Reverting back to the old
days of my word is my bond. But since many people break their
words as easily as they would their bonds, lenders make these
loans very very expensive so that those who do pay will carry
the cost of collection from those who do not pay.

What alternatives do you have instead of payday loans?

Contact your credit union or small loan company, find out if
your company offer any short term assistance. I know it could be
hard to tell friends and family members about your financial
hardship but swallow your pride a little bit and ask them for
help. Just make sure that you don’t swallow your pride too much
by not paying them on time.

If you are borrowing to pay other debts or other bills, why not
just ask your creditors for more time to pay your bills? Find
out what they will charge for that service including late
charges and additional finance charge or a higher interest rate.

What steps can you take to reduce the cost?

When you need credit, shop carefully. Compare offers. Look for
the credit offer with the lowest APR.

Compare the APR and the finance charge (which includes loan
fees, interest and other types of credit costs) of credit offers
to get the lowest cost.

Some firms will offer you a low cost guarantee that helps you
save time in comparison shopping. An example of this type of
guarantee is: “Must be a verifiable, bona fide offer from an
online payday loan provider. Excludes one-time, promotional
offers. Rate comparison must be based on a 14 day loan of less
than $500.”

How to cure the problem not the symptom?

Pick up meditation and prayer and I don’t mean bombarding God or
whatever higher power you believe in with requests for money. I
mean take the time to get to know your higher Self that can help
you look at life in a more balanced fashion. This knowledge can
help you control emotional stuff which are major reasons for
out-of-balance expenditures and emotional spending binges. Who
knows, you may even be able to have a direct communication with
God and straighten out more than your finances.

Remember that the outer world is just a reflection of us inside
and we cannot change our outer circumstances without changing
what we think in our hearts.

The need for money usually stems from a combination of low
income and lack of disciplined spending habits. Take steps to
improve your income which usually starts with better education.
Look for ways to improve your education and acquire new skills
that can help you get better jobs and higher paying positions. I
know it is hard to get enough energy at the end of 50 - 60 hour
week to study. But, don’t you rather have the stress of studying
for a better future for a limited time than to keep worrying
about payday loans for years to come?

Also, with the Internet, you may have small business
opportunities that did not exist before.

Take a good look at where your money went during the last six
months. If an item shows up over and over, it is no longer a
one-time deal. Make a budget that really reflects your monthly
and daily expenditures.

If you need help working out a debt repayment plan with
creditors or developing a budget, contact your local consumer
credit counseling service. There are non-profit groups in every
state that offer credit guidance to consumers. These services
are available at little or no cost. Also, check with your
employer, credit union or housing authority for no-cost or
low-cost credit counseling programs.

Finally, if you decide you must use a payday loan, borrow only
as much as you can afford to pay with your next paycheck and
still have enough to make it to the next payday.

What are the benefits?

So what are the benefits to this payday loan? It sounds like
there isn’t any.

With so many companies cropping out every day offering this
service and thousands of individuals using them and even
offering testimonials to their benefits, I have to concede that
there are benefits.

To start with, many times Payday Loans are really the only fast
alternative to get you out of a financial jam. The qualification
is hassle free. You can get a yes or no answer fairly fast and
it can be done online.

In many cases there aren’t any credit checks.

Some lenders do not even require you to fax them documentation.

Your inquiry is kept confidential.

And you can have the cash by the next business day.

Each year millions of Americans give a gift to other individuals
that they know. Gifts can be considered anything from a new
vehicle, to a trip, to a piece of land. A gift tax is a tax that
is imposed when an individual gives away a certain amount of
gifts that are considered valuable.

According the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), an individual who
gives a gift or a combination of gifts to one person that is
valued at over eleven thousand dollars must pay a gift tax. The
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) does not require that the
individual who received the gift pays the gift tax. The only
individual who is responsible for reporting and paying the gift
tax is the person who gave the gift away. A gift is when
something is given away at no cost. The Internal Revenue Service
(IRS) defines a gift as something that is given away without
receiving anything of similar value in return. Gifts that are
recognized by the government include property and money.

There are a number of exceptions to the gift tax imposed by the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Gifts that are given to a spouse
are not considered taxable. Another gift tax exclusion includes
gifts that are used for education or medical expenses. This gift
tax is often applied when a close family friend or family
relative pays a portion of the college tuition expenses or
medical expenses of someone they know. Gifts that are given to a
charity are also not considered taxable. Individuals can donate
their land, their vehicle, or money to an established charity
and it will not be considered taxable. HREF=http://www.taxhelpdirectory.com/taxstratagies/ rel="nofollow">http://www.ta
xhelpdirectory.com/taxstratagies/

Individuals who give a taxable gift that exceed eleven thousand
dollars are required to file a Form 709: United States Gift (and
Generation-Skipping Transfer Tax Return). The Form 709 can be
obtained by contacting the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or by
printing the form off of the Internet. It is also possible to
obtain an online form by visiting the website of the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) at HREF=http://www.irs.gov rel="nofollow">http://www.irs.gov. This form comes
in a PDF format that allows individuals to enter in their
information using the computer, and they can print off the
completed forms to be mailed to the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS).

In addition to the eleven thousand dollars a year gift tax
restriction, individuals are also subject to a lifetime gift tax
limit. That lifetime limit is one million dollars. Individuals
who exceed one millions dollars in gifts in any number of years
are required to start paying taxes on any more gifts that are
given in the future. This means that even if an individual gives
a gift that is less than eleven thousand dollars, the next year
they are still required to pay a gift tax because they exceeded
their lifetime gift tax allowance.

Giving another individual or charity a gift of money or property
is a great way to reduce the likelihood of having to pay an
estate tax later on in life. In addition to offering a number of
tax benefits, a gift also allows individuals to give back to
their children, family, friends, or community.

Citi, Chase, AT & T, American Express, Visa, MasterCard and
other card offers are available online offer credit lines to
high-risk consumers, no risk, and potential risk consumers.
Credit cards are a commodity that can benefit anyone with
self-control. The cards can be used to repair cars, buy
groceries, payoff bills and so much more. The many card
providers online are offering Low Interest Rates, No Annual
Fees, and Benefits to consumers that apply and are approved for
their cards. The downside is, few companies online are taking
advantage of people, by charging deposits to individuals with
bad credit and refusing to give them a card once the fee is
paid. Still, few companies online are illegally offering
consumers credit cards and telling them one thing, but once they
get the cards, the consumer soon finds out that the company
lied. Therefore the BBB or Better Business Bureau and credit
card offers go hand in hand, since the BBB enables consumers to
protect them self by reviewing complaints on various companies
that offer credit cards.

If you go online, you can see an assortment of credit cards
offered. Some advertisements claim they offer Guaranteed
Approval with NO Credit Checks. The Slick is appealing, but
before you give the company information there is something you
should know. First, there are NO guarantees in life, period! Any
company that offers Guaranteed Approval instantly with NO Credit
Checks should be avoided or investigated. The company that
claims they will not check your credit is LYING, since the
Federal Laws stipulate that any business lending a line of
credit is - OBLIGATED to check the reports. Furthermore, anyone
lending a line of credit must check resources, credit, status of
income, and so forth before lending money. Therefore, the
process of getting a credit card will take longer than a few
minutes, since more is involved than some companies propose.

Consumers should request copies of their credit report and look
at the credit history to see where you stand. If you have good
credit then you will qualify for most any credit card offered,
however if your credit is bad then you need to search for
high-risk credit cards or unsecured credits cards that offer
cards to candidates with bad credit. If you are applying for a
credit card online, then you don’t want to stop at the first
page. It pays to research the marketplace thoroughly before
filling out an application.

NOTE: Each application you fill out, it affects your credit
rating.

Secured Credit Cards Few Secure Credit Card lenders offers there
are no upfront deposits in most cases and a low rate of
interest. Few cards lenders, in some cases there may charge
annual fees, while in other cases no annual fee is obligatory.

Secured credit cards can help consumers uphold their credit
while allowing the consumer to spend no more than a few hundred
a month. Though credit card lines can exceed to 10,000, the
secure card is commonly for those that have good credit and want
to maintain vigorous credit ratings. If the consumer has had bad
credit, then the consumer requires the type of card that
supports high-risk credit. To get started looking for a credit
card with bad credit, type in bad credit, or any keyword related
to your needs. Unsecured credit card lenders may charge a
deposit and annual fees, with higher interest rates. Be careful
when applying for a credit card, and continue searching for the
best offers to avoid unwanted debts. Consumers want to read the
Terms & Conditions vigilantly, reading the Fine Print. Be sure
to carry out a search with the Better Business Bureau {BBB}
before filling out an application for a credit card. Some
services are fraudulent and have a bad reputation with the BBB
and these companies are the ones you want to avoid.

If you are in debt, the last thing you need is to dig a deeper
hole. You can also check with the appropriate resources online
for information about credit card companies. Last, but not
least, be sure to make sure the websites offering credit cards
are secure sites.

Payday loans are also called “cash advance loans,” “check
advance loans,” “post-dated check loans,” or “deferred deposit
loans.” But they all pretty much mean the same thing.

In the case of online companies, you apply for a loan through
the Internet. If you’re approved, the money is wired overnight
into your checking account. The loan is usually for one to four
weeks — until your next payday.

When the loan is due, the company takes the amount you owe
— plus a fee — out of your bank account. You can
“roll over” the loan to the next payday, but you have to pay
another fee.

But there are some facts you need to be aware of. You won’t see
these in the ads for payday loans. And you may have to search
the “fine print” on the company websites to find them. I call
them the Five Hard Truths About Payday Loans.

Hard Truth #1:

A payday loan will not solve all your problems

Remember, it’s just a short-term loan. And the quicker you can
pay it back, the better. Don’t keep rolling over the loan and
racking up the fees.

But you’re an adult. You can decide for yourself how you’ll use
the loan money and if you can pay it back when you get your next
paycheck.

Hard Truth #2:

You can’t get an unlimited amount of money

Don’t expect to get thousands of dollars with a payday loan.
Most loans you get will be about $100 to $500 — enough to
get most people through a crisis until the next payday.

Some payday loan companies advertise that you can get $1,000.
True, but don’t expect to get that much the first time you do
business with them. Once you become a regular customer, they may
raise the amount you can borrow — as long as you’re making
enough in your job.

Which bring us to …

Hard Truth #3:

Not everyone can get approved

Here’s the deal. They’re called “payday loans” because they’re
for people who have jobs and get a regular paycheck. If you
don’t have a job — or other income like Social Security
— you’re not going to get one of these loans.

Also, your job has to pay you enough. If you earn about $1,000
to $1,200 per month, you should be okay.

But these companies have other requirements you have to meet,
and for good reason. They don’t know you, they’ve never met you,
so why are they trusting you with their money? Because you prove
you can pay the loan back.

So you’ll need to show them you have a job or other monthly
income … you’ll need a checking account … you need to live
somewhere and have a phone number … and you can’t be a
complete deadbeat on the run from the law.

Sound reasonable? Sure.

And don’t worry too much about credit problems. They care more
about your current ability to pay back a loan than about your
past troubles with credit. That’s a relief!

Hard Truth #4:

These loans don’t come cheap

In general, you’ll pay up to $30 for every $100 you borrow.

Now, some pencil-pushers will tell you that’s like paying an
annual percentage rate of 390% or 780% or some such number.
They’ll say it’s outrageous when you compare it to getting a
mortgage at 6% a year, or paying 18% on your credit card charges.

Okay, but you’re not taking out the loan for a year — just
a few weeks at most. So look at the cost of taking out the loan
as a service charge. You alone can decide if it’s worth it to
you.

Want an example?

Let’s say you have three bills due on Wednesday, but you don’t
get paid until Friday. If you pay your bills late, you get hit
with late charges. If you write the checks anyway, and there’s
not enough money in your account, the checks will bounce and
you’ll have to pay fees for that.

Bounce one check and it might cost you $60. Bounce three checks
and it’s $180!

Now compare that with paying, say, $50 or $60 to borrow $200 to
cover your bills until payday. It makes a lot more sense to get
the short-term loan now than to get hit with all those charges
later.

What about “overdraft protection”? Your bank would love to
charge you extra for the service of covering you when you write
checks for more than you have in your account.

And why not? Some overdraft plans charge fees as high as $35 per
overdraft! It’s a huge money-maker for banks. In fact, the
biggest banks earn about $1 billion a year on overdraft fees.

What your bank doesn’t want you to know about payday loans is
that they may be cheaper than the bank’s overdraft protection
plan. No wonder so many banks are raising a fuss about payday
loans — it’s competition for them!

So before you think about using your bank’s overdraft protection
plan, take a close look at the cost. You may find that a payday
loan will save you some money.

Hard Truth #5:

All payday loan companies are not the same.

It would be nice if you could just pick any payday loan company
and know you’ll get a good deal. Sadly, that’s not the case.

I’ve scoured the Internet looking for the best companies. I’ve
looked at what kind of loans they make, what their fees are,
what kind of service they offer, and whether they’re easy to use.

After reviewing dozens of these websites, I’m happy to report
that you have some good choices out there. There are also some
questionable companies, but we’ll leave those for the
authorities to deal with.

If you do your homework, getting a payday loan may be just what
you need, saving you money in the long run.

Wishing you all the best in solving your cash flow needs!

So you’ve finally done it: you started your own business. You’re
making money and feeling great, maybe even enough to buy that
new car or home you’ve been coveting. But wait! What about Uncle
Sam? Doesn’t he want his cut of your new pie?

Of course he does. And, that guy who wants to sue you for all
you’ve got because your product caused his little girl to cry
wants his share as well. What’s a small business owner to do?

Loral Langemeier, author of The Millionaire Maker (probably the
best hands-on wealth strategy book written to date) has
experienced it all, and continuously comes out the clear winner
- completely legally.

It turns out that you can, too. But you’ll have to get some
help. In her book, Loral explains what she calls the Wealth
Cycle™, a process that’s used by millionaires who want to keep
the money they make.

A key part of the Wealth Cycle is what’s called “Entity
Structuring.” That is, structuring your company as a legal
corporation or company and telling the IRS how you want to be
taxed.

What you might not know is that these legal entities were
created as much for you, the little guy, as for the big
corporations. That’s why if you want to be a millionaire, you
need to know a thing or to about entities.

Protecting your butt while saving your bucks

These legal entities are simply business and tax structures.
This includes corporations, LLC’s, and Partnerships. It does not
include the sole proprietor. Entities have two components to
them: the legal component and the tax component. The legal
component determines how your business is structured. The tax
component determines how the IRS will tax your company.

Let’s take an example. You’ve probably heard of a “C
corporation”, right? This is a business that has decided to
structure itself as a corporation and be taxed under Chapter C
of the IRS tax code. An S corporation, alternatively, is a
corporation that has chosen to be taxed under Chapter S of the
IRS tax code. (See why you’ll need help?)

Entities are not something you have to use, but smart business
owners, even and especially sole practitioners, do use them.

Why? Say that someone decides to sue your business. If they win
and you’re not a legal company or corporation, they can get your
house, your car, and pretty much everything you own. If you ARE
a legal entity, all they’ll get are the assets of your company.

The best part is that if you’re doing it right, your legal
entity won’t have many assets, and you’ll keep more of what you
earn. Tax benefits are pretty straightforward. The more of them
you have, the more you keep of what you earn. The IRS gives
corporations bigger tax breaks by allowing them to write off a
lot more expenses than individuals.

It’s not necessary to know all the details about entities -
that’s what your accountant and lawyer are for. But you should
certainly get familiar with your options so you can start
managing your life like a millionaire does. “Doing so will be
one of the first steps on your journey to millions,” says Loral.

Can you really become a millionaire simply by having a
corporation? No, you can’t. In her book, Loral provides numerous
examples of how people use entity structuring to protect
themselves and keep more of their money.

If you DO want to make millions (or at least a lot more than
you’re making now), be sure to create, as Loral says in The
Millionaire Maker, the right entities at the right time. The
Wealth Cycle is your real key to success.
