Subway Ride And I Am $100,000 Richer!
Posted by BViews on January 14, 2009
Do you think I stopped at a mini-mart and purchased a scratcher lottery ticket to gain the one-hundred thousand dollars? Do you think I found a shiny silver attaché case under the Times left by a stranger on an empty subway seat? Do you think I filled out my Publisher’s Clearing House sweep stakes and actually won? If you answered yes to any of the before mentioned questions then you are wrong. I am a richer man simply by eavesdropping on passengers in a neighboring seat. No, I didn’t get a great stock tip by gaining insider’s information. I heard the two astute passengers discuss cost segmentation services and how such services benefited their business taxes.
This may not sound like the kind of juicy gossip you would desire to spy upon however when I heard terms such as net present value calculator flying about my ears and interest piqued. Four times a year I have suffered paying quarterly taxes in extraordinary sums and any help I can gain to reduce the number of zeros on the check I write to the IRS is greatly welcome. When I got off that subway ride where I listened to unsuspecting passengers, I immediately used my I-phone to Google the services of a cost segregation company. The payoff has been enormous and it is the best snooping I have ever enjoyed.
