For starters, if that $100K is your AGI, you don't owe $18,000, you owe $28,000. You probably couldn't eliminate the tax bill. But if there was some earned income in there from a job, you could fund an IRA for you and for your wife and shelter $11,000. Much more if you had access to a 401k. Or...

I live in North Idaho. If you're a contractor or anyone else expecting a job to be done and your crew shows up, it's a good day. If half show up, it's a normal day. If none show up, it's hunting season. They are not Amish, just not as committed to their work as I was expected to be where I came...

I have a neighbor who used to board horses but no longer does. His place is down the street from me, fenced and grows good grass. I have just a few cows. My neighbor asked me if my cows could come eat his grass. It seemed like a good deal for both of us, I just had some things to get done on...
