[Vision2020] Making the Financial Best of the New Year

[Donovan Arnold]

"and in the name of ignorance and   superstition."-Wayne Fox
  
  Wayne,
  
  Why do you insist upon calling all those that believe in a god as being  ignorant and superstitious? That is insulting to about 95% of the world  population that does believe in some type of God or higher Spiritual  Being. 
  
 Albert Einstein believed in the same God as me,  people of Jewish faith, Christian faith, and Muslim faith. Was he  ignorant and superstitious too?

  Orwell's  doublespeak is alive and well in Moscow:  Those  that arrogantly dub themselves "Saints" are instead what most  would call "Freeloading, bloodsucking defalcators" -- and in the  name of ignorance and superstition.

If this doesn't perk up  your wallet, I don't know what will!

> 2.  Create a non-profit ministry in your  home.  Give it a classy name, and register it with the Secretary  of State.  Don't worry about actually filling out all that  annoying paperwork and expense to become a 501(c)3; just assure the  State of Idaho that you really are a non-profit.  They'll take  your word for it.  And remember, only *you* define ministry.   Eating, talking, and reading can be acts of worship.  Heck, get  your boarders to do yardwork or wash the dishes--I have it on the  highest authority that "laborare orare est."
> 
> 3.   Wave that magic "non-profit" wand over the rent payments and watch them  turn into "donations." Those people you used to call boarders?   Now they're "guests" who make tax-deductible donations to your  ministry.  That way they get to claim their rent as a charitable  deduction, and you get to take their rent as a donation to your  ministry, not as income.  Everybody wins!
> 
>  4.  Convert every possible expense related to your home into costs  for running your "ministry."  Hardwood floors need  refinishing?  Glory to You-Know-Who!  New chairs for the  Board Room?  You betcha!
> 
> 5.  If I were you,  I'd go for the brass ring.  See if you can't convince the  commissioners to give you a property tax exemption.  After all, a  non-profit ministry is a non-profit ministry.  If the Ursuline  nuns aren't paying, why shoudl you?  It's worth a try.  And  if enough people do it, even Rose Huskey and Saundra Lund won't be able  to keep up with the appeals.  You'll be home free.
> 
>  Of course, at our house we've got a leg up on the whole process--Joan's  already been ordained.  But the Universal Life Church stands ready  to offer any of you all the same legally-binding ordination at the  click of a mouse.

> Why delay?  Start this  simple process today, and reap the cash-flow benefits your neighbor may  already be enjoying.
