Lateral Money Moves

Prepare to unravel the bewildering world of Internet finance fallacies with me. Brace yourself as we shine a light on the ludicrous claim that down payments on houses and cars are illegal - a falsehood we will firmly debunk. This episode is all about separating fact from fiction and urging you, our valued listeners, to trust only reliable government sources for your information.
Our journey through the labyrinth of financial misinformation doesn't end there. Together with our insightful guest, Mr. King, we dismantle misconceptions about loans for new businesses and the tax benefits of setting up an LLC. We dive into the significance of having the right documents to establish an S-Corp, and the dangers of taking all online advice at face value. Mr. King also shares invaluable wisdom about business credit misuse, the self-employment tax, and the risk of double-taxing yourself as an LLC owner. Before you make any financial decisions, remember the importance of consulting with a payroll specialist, tax specialist, accountant, or advisor.
As we conclude this enlightening episode, we debunk the myth of credit repair as a 'one-stop shop.' Remember, credit repair is not a universal remedy but a process tailored to each individual's unique situation. It involves introducing positive accounts while eliminating negative ones. As your host, I thank you for tuning in and encourage you to reach out if you encounter dubious financial claims online. Let's continue to debunk these myths together, and through this journey, dispel the fog of financial misinformation. The truth is out there, let's find it together!
