Two bedroom Apartment in Kew Gardens....owned
Two bedroom apartment in Brooklyn....financed
Beneteau 35s5...owned
2006 Subaru Tribeca....owned
2006 WRX STI.....about to be financed

That's just the tip of the iceberg. I inherited quite a nice stock
portfolio and a collection of gold coins that I've had insured for
400K. Hell, my wife's wedding and engagement ring could buy your dopey
trawler! DId I mention that my wife also owns property in Ohio or that
we bought the property her grandmother's home is on so she could live
rent free?
Doug, I'm only 43!!!! I've had some luck, no doubt about it. I
inherited the home and coins. Should I have turned it down? I'm not
rich and I still work part time. Only 43, Doug!

You're one sad dude, Doug. But the only thing that should "matter" to a
low life scum like you is that I own a better sailboat. I represent
what you failed at everytime you turn the key on that powerboat.
Frankly, after buying it, it really took some shameless balls to stay
in this group. You must have very little pride indeed! Some folks will
always have more, but it's crushing your kidneys that it's me!

Anyway, I'm curious about the "nice" stock portfolio. Most people who

Are You Prepared for an Intrusive Audit by IRS Into How You Live?

Summary:
Auditors at Internal Revenue Service now consider
a high living lifestyle in their examinations, Like a big house, expensive
car. With the income reported on your tax return, can you afford them?



"How can you afford a new Cadillac on your income?" asked the agent.

The Internal Revenue Service plans to ask more of these questions. Taxes on
unreported income have zoomed to an estimated $60 billion a year. Because of
this, the agency has been criticized for shirking its primary
responsibility -- catching tax evaders. So it's shifting some resources from
fighting drug trafficking to finding tax cheats.


To flush out this money, the IRS will consider it open season on people
generally paid in cash and on small businesses with cash skimming potential.
Agents won't worry too much about income paid employees and owners of stock,
bonds and certificates of deposit. The payer reports this to the agency, and
the IRS computers find the people not reporting it.


The IRS' secret weapon is the "lifestyle audit" or "economic reality check."
In the past agents didn't look beyond the paper records. They found
overstated deductions, but missed unreported income. In future examinations,
they plan on also comparing a taxpayer's lifestyle with income reported. Are
you a maid driving a new Mercedes? Do you operate a small grocery store, but
live in a 24-room mansion? If your income doesn't match expenditures, agents
will insist you prove how you got the money.


This economic reality audit would include a personal interview with
questions about home improvements, the location of any safe deposit box, the
amount of loans and other personal matters. It might also include a tour of
the business premises to confirm depreciation or inventory items or
questions asked suppliers, customers or neighbors.


Most audits will start with many intrusive questions. CPAs and lawyers
complain the IRS is fishing in dangerous waters because some questions
invade a taxpayer's privacy. In the past the IRS cast this lifestyle audit
net only if the taxpayer looked criminally rich. In that case, because
different rules apply, the taxpayer's accountant would call in an attorney
skilled in advising a client in criminal tax investigations. The lawyer
would advise which questions to answer. In the usual audit, a taxpayer
should cooperate, but with a criminal audit many questions shouldn't be
answered.


The IRS says it doesn't want to call this extra probing a lifestyle audit or
an economic reality check. That sounds too much like interfering in a
taxpayer's life. Instead, it prefers to call it a financial-status
audit.(more at IRS Audits)

Because it was for the yard and it was fun and it meant no bills, plus
I got lots of stuff for myself such as hardware, a new dodger, running
rigging, and a good realtionship with two full service yards that few

Looks like I'm just about audit proof. My lifestyle and appearance
is that of a homeless person living aboard an old boat. (In spite of
that, I could buy Bobsprit lock stock and barrel - not that I'd have
any desire to, being happy with a simple life close to nature.)

Few things in life are better than living aboard away from interruptions
while snuggling up with a good book. Here's a recommendation for
you manly men. It's called "Bitter Root Blood" by John Van Vorst
and Jodi L. Westendorf and is about part of the life of one Joshua Walker,
a trapper working in the Bitterroot Mtns. in the 1840's and a white woman
he "steals" from an Arikara Indian scouting party.


"If you live in God's places, you will see God
when you look outside yourself.
If you live in man's places, you will see man
when you look outside yourself.

"For me, whatever I see outside myself
will eventually become what I see inside myself."

Do you use the term "millionaire" defined as "annual income over $1m; or
the traditional net worth over $1mil?

If the latter, I know of two also, and two more that are very probable.

down, sail only in heavy air or want a dock
condo I will consider a full keeled boat. For now I own a boat more
luxurious than yours by mile and faster by 1000 miles!
In ANY conditions my boat will trounce a Nordic 30, which was even
slower than my Pearson 30!

Good grief, man!


If you own a C&C 35s5... then you own a dock condo Bob.
Fast?? ...don't make me laugh.. it hurts my aching shoulder. You don't race
Bob... why would fast matter? It's veneer and thin plastic. It has no
redeeming characteristics and is severely limited in use. My Nordica is
faster than your last boat..... and way faster than your previous vessels.

Face it... you have a rather plain variation on a generic mold knock-off
that's only suited to harbour can races and day sails.

I rarely place my boat to a slip Bob... it's either sailing or moored when
in the water. Your AC C&C is designed for a Martha Steward dockside diva
lifestyle and you know it! My boat is designed to be sailed.

C&C 35s5 = quick, generic harbour skiff knock-off

Nordica 30 = Grace, Comfort, Style and Classic Lines

Fast = fun. It also means pointing upwind higher than your boat and
better VMG on every tack. Let me put it another way...

Pearson 30 PHRF ..........174
C&C 32 PHRF ................160
First 35s5 PHRF .............126 (bye bye!)
Nordic 30 PHRF..............180 !!!!!!

My new boat blasts your sea snail out of the water. You've got a slow
boat to China there, bub. She's a sea anchor who dreams she's a
sailboat. She has more wetted surface than a Blue whale and weighs
almost as much. She has barely enough sail area to catch flys, let
alone a breeze. The Nordic 30 is pretentious driftwood, a scab of
plastic masquerading as a real sea boat. For her, upwind is a direction
you can point to, but never sail to. And weather helm? Don't get me
started! I read the reviews. Keep the motor running unless you enjoyed
the movie "Sideways" enough to follow suite. Slow, plodding and dull is
the Nordic 30...perfect for the aged sailor with a compromised pair of
knees. I "like" the Nordic 30, just as I like a Cape Dory 30. But I'm
always glad someone else bought one and lives with the compromises
instead of me.

35s5...the best performing boat here!

Cool. I know some worthy charities...
