Crazy Canuck

Age 31
Own an RV dealership and self storage company after the very premature passing of my father (he was 55). I run both for my mom & sister.

Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today. Nothing is worse than regret.

Got a BA in Economics & Psych. People & Money!

No wife.
No kids.

Vette & Triumph were my dad's. 911 is something I've wanted since I can remember.

Love to travel. Like business. Like computers. Real estate is beginning to interest me. I do the website for both companies for fun. Collecting diecast cars (200+ now). The cottage in the 1000 Islands is where I love to be. 26' Formula with a 496HO (425hp) is down there as well which seems to make me smile.

Now to find a good woman . . . have one in mind . . .

If you finds one and listen to them, yo won't have high net worth for long. Learn about it yourself and you'll be better off.

I think you misunderstand me. This forum is a great forum for ideas/issues/concerns about porsche cars. It doesn't mean that I listen and do half the things everyone does, but I get exposed to what other porsche people's thought/ideas/etc. are.

I am not looking for "how do I invest my money forums" I am looking for a forums that discusses money related issues where the people talking have multiple millions. People with money have different issues for example:

a. private school/public for kids
b. tax shelters
c. first class or charter jet
d. thomas pink or polo ( *grin*)
e. best deals on penthouse suites

I am not sure if such a place exists, maybe a forum where you enter the last four digits of your centurion to get access?? Dunno...

I am only giving you a hard time. The way I did it was studied the tax code as it pertained to my situation. I began trading for myself and made my first $million$ at age 30. Been doing the same for the past 20 years. There are no more tax shelters that will save you anything and if Bush's tax breaks get made perminant, there will no longer be inheritance tax at the natuonal level so you won't have to hide it in a trust.

However, what you do need to do is to establish a living trust for both you and your wife in order to give direction as to how your money is to be handled upon your death and who will have guardianship for the kids. You can learn about these types of trusts at several sites on the web. By simply establishing a living trust and finding it with your cash, investments and property, you eliminate all probabte and public review of you estate upon death. The assets in your turst remain yours and you can do with them whatever you want just like you do not. You can register you car, home, etc in the name of the trust. If Bush's tax cut's are not made perminant, it wil also enable you to save $million$ in taxes, legally.

Have fun!
