Not Illegal, But: 30 Unethical Financial 'Hacks' That People Say Won't Land You In Prison I know a guy who took out a bunch of loans to attend dental school.

He graduated, became a dentist, and applied for a bunch of credit cards. Used the cards to pay off the loans.

Used the unmanageable credit to apply for bankruptcy, and had the debts mostly cleared.

Then he had seven years of bankruptcy on his credit report, rather than decades worth of loan payments.

There's no 'financial hack' here. Guy went bankrupt to avoid his debts. If you think having bankruptcy on your credit report at the beginning of your career is a good thing, then go ahead. It's just stupid.

Not Illegal, But: 30 Unethical Financial 'Hacks' That People Say Won't Land You In Prison If you've got a decent bit of land, find out what your state's requirements are for agricultural tax exemption. Significant drop in property taxes. Friend keeps six cows because that's one of the things that qualify you. She's bought the hundreds of acres and built a barn that cost more than my house to keep her horses (expensive hobby yes; but not, per that states law, agricultural use). As adding six cows turned the whole operation into agriculture and saved loads each year on property taxes. Another friend sells about $2750 in nursery stock from her greenhouse. 2500 a year is the requirement in her state.

It's not illegal. Slightly unethical because the point of the program is to help out farmers. Doing the bare minimum to qualify to save on property taxes is obviously not what they meant.

I know this software that takes the fraction of a penny leftover from each transaction, and there are millions a day, and puts it in your bank accounts.

It's very complicated. It's uh it's aggregate, so I'm talking about fractions of a penny here. And over time they add up.

It’s like the take a penny tray.

I'm just talking about fractions of a penny here. But we do it from a much bigger tray and we do it a couple a million times.

Like to travel? Become a part time travel agent. Travel becomes a write off. You’re going to travel anyway, might as well get some help. So what if your business doesn’t make you money, you’re writing off travel that you were going to take anyway. You’re going to need a new camera and a pc of course. There’s no crime in being a bad business man. Just don’t do it for too long. Sooner or later the taxman will be looking at you asking questions. 3-5 years then wrap it up. A few years later you can start something new.

Research "Step-up in basis" loophole if you have any assets.

Also, set up trusts to protect your assets.

Also, if you're an independent contractor, look up all the legal tax deductions to lower your taxable income (for example, business expenses, solo 401k contributions, HSAs, etc.)

The rich get richer because the rich usually have financial advisors/lawyers that know all the legal loopholes to stay rich and get richer.

Almost anyone can take advantage of these financial "hacks," you just need to find them and apply them.

My Amex gets 6% cashback at grocery stores on up to $6,000/year. If you buy $6,000 worth of $500 Visa gift cards at the grocery store with the Amex, you get $360 cashback. Subtracting the gift card processing fee (usually $5-6 a card), you basically turn it into $290-300 of free money.

Before that they were giving points for travelers checks, everyone in my company was buying tens of thousands of travelers checks and getting free flights and all these other perks, before they closed the loophole.

Tax code says they have to do age appropriate work, so they can't do bookkeeping, but they can be models the day they are born.

Money doubles every ~7 years but the dollar loses half its value to inflation every 20 years. By the time they are 59.5y/o this works out to about $290k in todays dollars ($2.3mil in year 2083 dollars).

If a parent dies with not huge credit card debt they never bother to go after the estate for repayment. It just isn't worth the trouble. Eventually the executor will get a 1099-C for forgiveness of debt but the IRS doesn't have time to pursue the matter either. So it just goes away.

Source: When my mom died we got a 1099-C well after the estate settled for a credit card account nobody knew she had. It was for about $4000.

When we took over her finances, we paid off as much as we could, but Capital One ain't gettin' a dime. Sorry, bro. She was making under $2,000 a month. Why did they think she needed a $10,000 credit limit? Sounds like a poor business decision on their part. LOL

If you have a very elderly parent, gift them $18,000 of stock every year. In fact, if you are married, you can gift them $18,000 and your spouse can gift them $18,000. If you have two very elderly parents, that is $72k/year you can gift them tax free.

The parent receives the stocks at your cost basis if you do it as a brokerage to brokerage transfer.

When your parent passes, they give you the stock as an inheritance. But it comes to you with its value at the time of their death. So you never pay any taxes on the appreciation of the stock. That is the hack - avoiding any taxes on the stock appreciation.

For example, you are 60 and have been saving & investing your entire life. Stocks you bought decades ago have increased mutliple-fold. Your parents are both 85. Spending the next 2 years gifting them $36k/year cost basis may get you back $400k and avoid all taxation.

Same is true for someone that did well with company stock from an IPO or hit it big on one or two individual stocks.

If you run a small business. Toward the end of the financial year, buy hundreds of dollars worth of scratch tickets. The important part is that it has to be one single continuous reel of tickets. They are made so there is a guaranteed win every few tickets. After you scratch them all, keep the winning ones for yourself, and tax-deduct the losing ones as if they were gifted to the employees for some b******t reason.

You can sue any town/municipality and their police dept and make at least $30k total each time. The reason is for violating your first amendment rights. Just walk into a post office lobby and film… totally legal to do. You can also go to police stations and as long as you’re in the lobby you’re on public property where it is entirely legal to film. They WILL use every tactic in the book to scare you away but if you stand your ground and know your rights you eventually get the power hungry guy who comes and tackles you to the ground and arrests you. You just made $30k and you get to be free to go within 20 minutes.

This is probably the worst advice I've seen here. If you set out to do stuff like this, don't be surprised if you learn you actually did something you shouldn't have. I used to deal with people like you all the time when I was a cop. Best thing to do is just let you film, stand there and look stupid till you get bored and go find something else to do. Most law enforcement agencies are wise to this type of b******t. They will mostly completely ignore you.

3. Get put on paid or administrative leave for 5 years collecting your free money for no work
4. Go back to work and repeat
