Strip club gift cards/certificates?

You can get gift cards at the Columbia Platinum plus.But that is a 240 mile drive for me and most of my buddies.who would I give it to? My son and daughter have both been to strip clubs but are NOT regulars by any means.She will get a $300 gift card from Verision. Needs a new cell phone. baby tossed her old one in the pool.She is now using a borrowed one. Don't know what to get him.He can buy anything he wants. Makes $85K a year. Maybe Omaha steaks again. I don't need shit. I will get a new bath robe. I don't need it.

SC - I am in the same boat as you -----my ---medicare aged +, stillworking daily in my own personal business, my kids don't need a thing (all three of them are in the six figure bracker (one over 300K) and what do we do for presents?? I always ask that a dnation be made in my name to one of my favorite charities and have the receipt sent to me as a tax deduction. Gift cards are a waste to me ---no thought no meaning to them and it shows that the sender spent about two minutes buying one

Funny, I was making my Christmas list for my wife last night and thought about adding "Gift Certificate to local strip club", but didn't think that would go over too well.

HA! Sam, the clubs are probably worried their clientele will forge them. And last thing the Police will want is to investigate lap dance fraud (during their free time, maybe; but not on-the-clock man hours.)

slickpeter, Reached full retirement age last year. 65 and 10 months.I drew full SS while still working. I had to report a $149k income on my 1040.Things have now changed.I retired April 1st.My income has dropped to $7K/mo. I can live on$1200/mo. The strippers get a lot of it. lol...

Nice income. What industry / field were you in, Shadowcat?

If my local SC's offered gift cards, I'd be the easiest woman to shop for in the whole damn world!

SC - Iam 67 and am not taking the government money ---I will probably hold out till I 70 when I plan to sell my business ----I know I can live on a helluva lot less than I make now ----my financial planner has me set - he doesn't know about my strip club donations ------ I should think of the money I spend as a donation ----should get a 503C donation to give me some receipts ;)

Slickpeter, I've always thought that strip clubs should reorganize as 503c organiztions so we could take a tax deduction for our charity donations! Or the dancers themselves become 503c's!

I'm trying to scale back to simple goodwill gestures or symbolic gifts that mean someting. The first is easy, the latter is harder to accomplish.

slickpeter. My financial adviser has been doing my taxes for 22 years. I could pay of my mortgage with out batting an eye but he says bad idea, so I will be closing on a refi next week. I just closed my health savings account. I will be closing my 401K after the 1st of the year. Then it is on to buying some CD's. I have never been unemployed. Since I was 10.

I don't understand why you are not taking your SS benefit.As long as you have reached full SS age there is no penalty, if you continue working. Unless it kicks you up into a much higher tax bracket. I barely remember how to set an alarm clock.I do have to check my computer every day, to know for sure, what day it is.you can't buy booze on Sunday and most strip clubs are closed.

SC - by taking my SS now it would put my earnings in the top tax bracket ---- and by waiting till I sell or give away the business, the amount I will receive from SS keeps on growing since I still am taxed into the system and as you wait the payment gets bigger. Yes they vlaim there is no penalty when I am over the full age, but there is the hidden penalty of taxation on the amount you earn in wages ---since my company is full corporation I earn wages from it.

In Michigan we are lucky enough to be able to buy booze on Sunday after noon and it seems that kost of the clubs are open later in the afternoon - you know those dancers need to keep on earning so they can feed either their children or their habits

BookGuy, The basics are on my profile page. If you really want more, you can Google for Federal Air Regulation 121, Sub part U . There are probably about 1,000 working dispatchers in the U.S.Another 3,000 around the world. Can also Google for IFALDA, A non profit trade organization.
