satchmo satchmo“Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better. -- Samuel Beckett”
I became a corporation today.

I had an initial meeting with my new accountant, and she immediately recommended me to establish a subchapter S corporation for tax reasons. As a corporation, I am in a lower tax bracket, and I qualify for far more tax deductions. In addition, I get to have a separate pension plan that is tax sheltered.

It's so complicated, but I am glad that she seems to know what she's talking about.

I am a corporation of two people. My wife automatically becomes a shareholder because she is my legal spouse. I am setting up a corporate account, and I'll pay myself each month, but all the work-related expenses are tax deductible, and my earnings can only be taxed if I pay myself.

It all sounds like a legal loophole for rich people, but I guess I am one of them now. It still feels very strange.

So, Satchmo is the Valve of the medical/private world, therefore, Valve is the Satchmo of the Game world.
Now we need a Satchmo for the musical world.
