According to Slate magazine, there are now 8.9 million American households with assets over $1 million, excluding their homes and retirement funds. Dr. Larry Samuel of the consulting group Culture Planning breaks them down into five basic groups:

- Thrillionaires. These millionaires live on the edge, consuming conspicuously. They're more likely to be found rolling the dice in Las Vega... Read personal finance article



Save Money
I was doing research for my web site, on ways to save money. Checking other web sites and discussion forums, I found that the cheapskates are hitting new - and funnier - lows. Choosing a spouse according to how frugal he or she is, and reusing the plastic from bacon packages were just a couple of the serious suggestions. One man even said, "Instead of buying toilet paper, I use yesterday's newspaper."

Probably the suggestion that was the most ridiculous was to stop drinking beer. What are we trying to save all this money for? In any case, here are some more funny ways to save money. I suspect, or at least hope, that many of these really are not meant to be serious suggestions. Don't try these at home.

Ways To Save Money?

- Unplug your clocks at night to save on electricity.

- Carry powdered drink mix and add it to water when eating out, to save on buying drinks.

- Install a cat door and train your cat to go outside and to the neighbors yard to go to the bathroom. This saves you on cat litter and time cleaning the yard.

- Eat dog food. (According to this contributor, the dry dog food is better than the canned.)

- Tell everyone you'll be out of town for Christmas, so you can shop the after-Christmas sales for presents.

- Ask your friends to save the labels for you off any new products they buy, so you can put them on your thrift-store purchases when you are buying gifts.

- Run around the house and close the heater vents in all the rooms except your bedroom before going to sleep.

- Encourage mice in the house by leaving crumbs around - so your cat will have a free food supply.

- Learn speed-reading and read books for free while in the aisle at the book store.

- Leave everything in the same place in your house, so you can easily get around at night without turning the lights on.

- Bring back rolls of coins from Canada, to use at the laundromat and in pop machines, saving you 20% or more, depending on the exchange rate.

Okay, these may be funny ways to save money, but did any of them tempt you? Do you pick up pennies on the street? Wouldn't it be more efficient to just stay on the clock at work for an extra minute? Hey, and while you are there, take a big drink of water - to save on your home water bill.

How Much Time Does the IRS Have to Collect Taxes From You

The statute of limitations on the collection of a tax liability is 10 years. (Internal Revenue Code 6502.) After ten years the debt is wiped out. (continue to read for provisional conditions)

There are a number of ways the ten-year period can be extended.

1. The ten-year period does not start until you file your tax return and IRS assesses the tax against you. So NOT filing a return and hiding for 10 years won't get your tax debt wiped out.

2. IRS can extend the ten-year period by suing you in federal court. This does not happen very often, so I am told.

3. If you file an Offer in Compromise, or traveling or living outside of U.S., or involved in a dispute with IRS, or file bankruptcy or request a Taxpayer's Assistance, sign a waiver form or request any kind of hearing; your ten-year period is extended until any of these issues are involved.

usually IRS will make every effort to collect the Tax liability before the 10-year period is up. This includes garnishment of your wages and placing a levy on your bank account.

It is strongly suggested by www.taxeswilltravel.com that you contact a Tax Professional if any of these situations apply to you.
