Stealing You

Has Someone Stolen YOU?

If you are not living a quiet and prosperous life then you need to read on…

Hi, my name is Dr. Jason Secord and thanks for visiting my blog.  I hope to make your experience very profitable and rewarding.  I know StealingYOU.com is a funny name for a blog but there is really some deep meaning behind it and how I can help you.

First of all, I don’t believe in hype and gimmicky garbage.  I promise not to insult your intelligence or prey on your greed.  I won’t offer you over inflated income statements or show you pictures of high-priced cars and major babes in skimpy swimsuits or even relaxing on a beach in Hawaii.  That stuff is deceptive.  In today’s world, no one should be offering up those types of images as a reason to get you to respond.  It isn’t because they are wrong or not obtainable; I believe it is because they offer an effect of well-being and greed without the cause of what needs to be done to achieve them.

How about putting up pictures of saving your house, keeping your kids in college, struggling to keep your job and make a living or maybe just providing for your family?  Those images are more appropriate than the hype and greed because those images are reality!  But those images don’t sell squat!  People want to feel good; they may not be able to have and do what those images show but they can dream it!  Fantasy versus reality; now there is an interesting subject of study!

I believe in cause an effect!  Money isn’t a cause; it is an effect.  It is the effect of hard work and right choices.  Showing you the effect (pictures of the good life) before offering you the “cause” (what I am about to show you) and how to obtain them is like putting the cart before the horse.  A good many people need to increase their income to meet everyday obligations and not go on vacation or slosh down rum drinks in the islands.  They are just trying to survive and since I have been there and done that, this is the sole reason behind this blog.

I won’t show you any of that garbage but I will tell you my story and how because of necessity I had to rearrange my life and rethink my whole existence.

Let me tell you about myself first.  I’m a doctor; a scientist specifically dealing in behavior.  For 29-years I labored in my trade discovering secrets of the mind and counseling some of the most broken humanity one could ever imagine.  No one can make a living as a doctor; at least the kind of living I needed!  The insurance companies and drug companies control everything!  Does this sound provocative to you?  Let me explain…

I spent ten very long years in college and armed with 5-degrees at the age of 28 went to seek my fame and fortune in a topsy-turvy world that basically couldn’t give a flying rat’s ass whether you “make it or break it” as a rather well worn out vernacular goes.  Perception is one thing; reality is quite another!

College never prepared me for the reality of beginning a practice, supporting a family, and counseling patients that basically ignored treatment.  Patients were only interested in relief and seemingly never in a “cure.”  Just take the pain away and preferably with drugs!

I remember one of my college professors saying, “People don’t do what they are supposed to do because they want to do something else!”  And that is an understatement, people!

I remember as a young boy reading a passage in my bible in Sunday school written by the apostle Paul:

“For what I do, I do not understand; for what I do not desire, this I practice, but what I hate, this I do.   But if what I do not desire, this I do, I agree with the Law that it is good.   But now it is no longer I who produces it, but the sin dwelling in me.   For I know that there does not dwell in me, that is in my flesh, any good; for the ability to be desiring is present with me, but the ability to be producing the good I do not find.   For what good I desire, I do not do, but what evil I do not desire, this I practice.   But if what I do not desire, this I do, it is no longer I who produces it, but the sin dwelling in me.  Consequently, I find the law to me, the one desiring to be doing the good that with me the evil is present.   For I delight in the Law of God according to my inner being.   But I discover a different law in my body parts, warring against the law of my mind and bringing me into captivity by the law of the sin that is in my members.  What a wretched person I am!  Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?”

WOW!  And Paul was an apostle!  I remember thinking what hope do I have if even an apostle screams out “What a wretched person I am!  Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?”

Looking back, the biggest reality that stared me in the face was this: No matter how hard I worked, my income would always remain finite because there were only so many “billable” hours in a day to see patients.  I cannot express in words how much this bothered me because I had a lot on my plate and a good deal of debt (over $250,000 in student loans…ouch!) to pay back while still providing for my family.

I had invested a good deal of my life and money in becoming a doctor and this one reality caught me completely off-guard.  It robbed me of a peaceful life and this spilled over into my whole daily existence.  I was tired and stressed; I was seemingly always grumpy from lack of sleep and a tremendous workload.  It wasn’t what I envisioned when I was in college and it wasn’t the kind of life I would wish on anybody!  No matter what I did I couldn’t get ahead of the ball and this made me angry and frustrated.  My marriage and family suffered along with me; I wasn’t someone you would want to live with and in fact, money (or lack of it) finally destroyed my marriage after 15-gruelling years.

Fortunately for me, when the Internet began in 1989 I saw its full potential and because of it I was able to discover what I am about to show you.  So tell me; when was the last time you led a quiet life?  When was the last time you didn’t have to budget your money and watch every single penny?  For that matter, when was the last time you really did take a vacation?  These aren’t rhetorical questions either.  Lack of disposable income causes some major issues!  So tell me, who stole YOU?

I’m not ashamed to tell you that it caused me some very serious issues.  Here is a short story I wrote back in the 80s.  I think you can see after reading it what my state-of-mind was back then and how far my life had decreased…

“The Clown”

In New York City, on a bright spring day, a man dodges the crowds of pedestrians as he makes his way to a downtown Manhattan skyscraper.  Anyone who would look would see the man was burdened; his hunched shoulders, the look of sadness in his face and eyes, betrayed the man’s inner gloom.

The man soon arrives at his destination, an appointment made months in advance, with one of New York’s leading psychiatrists.  The man is ushered into the doctor’s plush office, and sits heavily in the offered chair.

The doctor asks in a quiet manner, “What seems to be the problem?”

The man hesitates at first, and then finds his voice.  He clears his throat and almost whispers, “I really don’t know, doctor.  I haven’t smiled in years.  I have no joy in my life.  And worst of all, I have no idea why?”

The doctor nods his head, in understanding, and then proceeds to administer a comprehensive battery of tests, beginning with a physical, to determine the cause of the man’s problem.

Afterwards, in a private session, the doctor counsels, “I find nothing wrong with you, sir,” he begins with a sigh, “but I want you to try something.  There is a circus in town this week.  They say it is the finest circus in the world.  There is a clown with this circus with a reputation of making everyone laugh.  I want you to go and see this clown.  Possibly, he can restore your joy.”

The man looks up from wringing his hands.  And with tears in his eyes, he stares at the doctor.  Almost in a choking voice the man says, “Doctor, I am that clown!”

I didn’t know it at the time but I WAS that clown!  There was no joy in my life but I was a caregiver and my job was to heal…but who was going to heal me?  Who was going to show me the way out of the seemingly never-ending spiral of debt and despair?  I found my way out and now it can be your turn so please keep reading…

There is a flip-side of this coin too!  A few months back I was dating a woman who needed to buy a car and asked me to go with her.  I liked the car she had chosen so much I bought one for myself but she financed her car and I paid cash.  On our way out she stopped and reamed me out saying, “You really think you’re a big shot paying cash for everything while everybody else struggles.”  Whoa!  Talk about issues; all of a sudden bigness is now badness.  Wealth is now bad, and not being stressed out like the rest of the world makes a person a big shot!  Sometimes you just can’t win; by the way, the lady dumped me…sigh!

Well I think that is enough said.  You get the picture and now I want to show you the various passive income programs that corrected my problem and they can correct yours too.  I no longer practice as a doctor; I make my living full time using the programs I have listed below.  If you want to make an incredible living and enjoy the life you have then I will help you.  I will show you the way to a quiet and peaceful, prosperous life.  I will teach you how to do everything so all you have to do is “follow the bouncing ball!”

I’m an incoming freshman this year, and I just got an administrative assistant position at a hospital on Saturdays. I’ll be going to school full-time, but I plan on working through the week during the summer. How much money can I legally make without it affecting my financial aid package? Is there a certain amount of money you can make and not have to file taxes?

The Industrial Age was initiated by the invention of huge factories and mass production; the existence of such factories facilitated the wealth increase of the owners of those factories and people affiliated with said owners, causing them to enjoy extreme wealth. Being good capitalists, they figured that the best way to advance their own fortunes is to force the working class to do more in less time for less pay, essentially creating great poverty as well.

The government definitely does not create jobs. Even the education jobs are a net drain on the economy if you replaced those education jobs with private sector education jobs.
The government is necessary in some cases, but it has become many many times bigger than it ever should have. It is definitely a drain on the economy.

and how those jobs remain once the government is no longer giving that handout?

There is no logical way that I know of.

I saw an add on craigslist that had a Red Bull vending machine for sale. I was considering buying it, but i didn’t because i did not know if it would make enough money. If i did buy it I would place it somewhere in Oviedo/Wintersprings FL area. I need to know how much money I could make on a Red Bull vending machine in Oviedo/Wintersprings FL.

-thanks!

1. You will have to put it somewhere which means you will need to pay rent to the person who owns the land/building where you place it.
2. People will break into the machine, steal the money and the product when you aren’t guarding it.
3. You will need to keep it in good repair. Do you know how to repair the machine if it breaks down (it is a used machine, right)?

If the machine costs more than $5.00, I’d seriously consider using my money in another way.

I am doing my taxes by myself for the first time, and I heard somewhere that your state income taxes can be a write off on your federal income tax. Is that true?

If you itemize (see if your itemized deductions on 1040, Schedule A exceed your standard deduction, which is $10,700 for married filing joint, $7850 for head of household, $5350 for single or married filing separate in ‘07), you may deduct EITHER state and local income taxes OR your state and local general sales taxes. You cannot deduct both. You make your election on line 5 of Schedule A by checking box a for income taxes or box b for general sales taxes. The option to claim sales taxes instead of income taxes will not be allowed following 2007 unless Congress extends the law permitting this option.

I’ve already accumulated about $45,000 in short term capital gains this year. I need to liquidate another $40,000 in stocks or sell part of an inherited IRA which, as I understand, will be taxed as income. Is the tax hit going to be the same either way?

Last year I had taxable income of about $53,000 with next to no capital gains. This year I expect about the same taxable income plus the capital gains.

Short term cap gains are taxed as ordinary income. LT gains are at a 15% rate, but that is set to expire in a few years (irrelevant to you). BTW, how did you get those kinds of gains? Time to share, LOL!

How much of your salary do you have to pay in health care premiums and out of pocket expenses (like clinic bills) to be able to itemize them and use them as a deduction on your federal taxes? I’ve added it all up, premiums and out-of-pocket expenses, and co-pays at clinics and dental offices and it’s about 17% of our yearly income.(somewhere around 7-8 grand) Is this enough of our income to qualify to do this? And how much of that amount do you usually get back? Thanks
And how much of what you deduct do you get back?!

You can deduct health care expenses to the extent they are more than 7.5% of your income.

The Right can’t ask the PRESS or the LEFT to do this because they’d say the Conservatives were manipulating the Iraqis!

Even though I’ve offered this suggestion many times in YA neither the Press, the Presidential canidates, nor the YA liberals have picked up on it. Being upset at Bush seems more important than offering up solutions.
Love your laughing at a solution, but you didn’t add anything to the discussion. Does that show your superior intellect or the lack of it? The Left nor the Press are willing to take a leadership roll.

For the individual that said the rich get richer & the poor get poorer. How did the rich originally get their wealth & what can the poor do to copy it?

We never have nor will we live in a Utopia. Wealth is created by circulating the curior of wealth. The seller sets a value on what he is will to sell his item. The buyer offers what he thinks it is worth. No one twists the others arm.
As long as the poor countries use their assets for immediate needs instead of building infrastructure they will stay poor.

The 1st world wasn’t always the 1st world. The US wasn’t always the richest country in the world. Building infrastructure, having world trade, & the luck of having the major wars on someone elses soil benefited the US.

Our Southern neighbors could have created the same wealth. There is a certain choice in the matter. It isn’t all victem & imperialism.

The 1st world shouldn’t feel so smug. When the baby-boomers’ retirement bill collides with the energy crisis All the world’s economies will go into a long term depression. The 1st world’s products demand energy both to create & use. Renewable energy infrastructure cost too much to directly compete with the energy that created it. & there will be no funds to create the replacement if we wait. Yes there is the option to go NUCLEAR.
The Left & the Press should read the Marshal Plan seeing how The US brought bad Europe & Japan after WWII.

Can the US create a Utopia – No, but I’m sure the people prefered to live under the West than live in the eastern section of Europe. They were more than willing to join NATO once they had the chance.
The Left & Press are implying the Government Both theirs & the US will do it for them. Government does very little it is the individual that creats wealth when they feel there is a future. If the individual feels they are in the end times they are more than willing to be craddled by others.

The Press & Left are implying that the individual isn’t up to the challenge of creating wealth & democracy. If Iraq was truly the cradle of civilization they have abilities far beyoung being gold smiths.

yes, the left is incapable of leadership, they show it over and over.

Relying on that book mentioned up there is ridiculous. I never heard of it,Trevor S, it is leftist thinking from what you said.

Any ideas to save on income tax before one has to start making withdrawals from IRA?
I thought one way would be if you’re 67 years old and you know you will have major medical expenses in these next 2 years, should you withdraw some out of your IRA since you will be able to deduct the medical expenses from your taxes? Otherwise, if you wait till 70 1/2, then you will not have the deduction benefit.
Any other ways to save income tax when you start making IRA withdrawals?
great answers so far.
The medical expenses are for procedures to be done this year and the next year, afterwards the amount spent on medical expenses will be less than the 7.5% of income required (no more procedures needed- otherwise healthy person).

You have substantial assets inside a tax-deferred traditional IRA and now you are facing a big tax bill when you take those required minimum distributions.

It is smart to see that those RMDs are going to bump you into a higher tax bracket and to plan ahead. You can start to draw the money out of your IRA as soon as you are 59.5. One strategy is to figure how much you can take out each year and not go into the next higher bracket, and take that out before age 70.5. You will not be paying higher tax on it, and it will reduce the balance in your account, and thus reduce your RMD.

If you do not need or want to move the money into an after-tax account or spend it now, you could figure the amount of withdrawal that doesn’t bump you into another tax bracket, and move that amount into a Roth IRA each year. You will pay regular income tax on the rollover, but the amount rolled over plus earnings is tax-free when you take a distribution, and is not subject to RMD. You can do this as long as your AGI (before the IRA rollover) is under $100K. This restriction disappears in 2010.

A taxpayer with this problem should consider switching current contributions to a Roth rather than a traditional IRA, since the current deduction may not be much benefit, and you want to reduce the RMD in a few years.

Once you reach age 70.5 and are subject to RMD, if you make charitable contributions, do them as charitable rollovers from your traditional IRA. These charitable rollovers can be used for RMD and are tax-free.

If you plan on doing Roth rollovers, get them done before you start your Social Security benefits. Roth distributions do not increase tax on SS benefits. This is another reason to move as much as you can from your traditional IRA to your Roth IRA before the RMD and SS benefits begin.
