So before I started this website, I put a posting up on craigslist.org and I got 12 e-mails in the first few hours that the posting was up. For some reason, the folks at craigslist didn't think my posting was worthy of their site and took it down. (I posted it under the "Wanted" section and the heading was "Wanted: $20,000." It seemed okay to me.)
But anyway, I got 12 e-mails. Some dude told me that I don't have to report what I make as income. He said you only have to report monetary gifts if they are over $10,000 from one single person. Good to know. So if you are feeling generous, please make the check out for no more than $9,999.99 to be on the safe side. Some other dude told me that I do have to report it, because it IS considered income. So I'm gonna check with an accountant to be on the safe side. Don't want to end up in jail...
Some other dude sent me his photo and wants to meet over dinner to discuss the issue... Um, I think I'm gonna pass on that one... And guy, there's not much of an issue to discuss here. I need the cash. End of story.
Seriously, I would like to hear from you. Drop me a line. Write me a letter, send me an e-mail. Tell me a story. I'm sure you've been in some sort of mess like this before. Share.
