You have set ideas & beliefs. The amount of time it will require, for example, one of us to invest in digging you out of that hole, is unfathomable! To get you out of where you are in your belief system would require us to dig down so deep...that it costs time, causes stress, and disrupts our sleep, throwing our circadian rhythm in a quagmire. The #1 predictor of ALL cause mortality is lack of good sleep!You are absolutely correct, Sir although your response with your "my dear"s is a bit patronizing.
I should have phrased it "better for me"
Some of us are just cautious because we will do well even if we stay on the straight and narrow.
It is not a 'belief'or a refusal to do things in a slicker way. I don't require shock therapy causing a massive change in worldview. It is simply risk/benefit analysis based on my skills and knowledge. Everyone has only their experience to go by.
Are you here to share some actual knowledge, or just let us mere mortals know how pedestrian we are?
If you think your peace of mind is worth paying some useless and unproductive gang members under the ruse of government +50% of your income, who are we to try to change your mind?
I wrote about my Centenarian mom's experience of more than 4 decades vis-à-vis obduration and intransigence here: Crypto is going down the toilet!
Life is simple AF. If you want no problems with tax authorities (read thieves), move to a country where there are no taxes. I moved to Monaco decades ago! I didn't move to "avoid" taxes. I moved to spare myself from doing BS paperwork that some useless and unproductive dastardly parasite can (and will) accuse me of "falsifying." People ALWAYS get this wrong!
