Can you explain?

no he wouldnt have to pay tax on that money since he didnt receive it. Most individuals are considered falling under tyhe cash basis of accounting, which means you pay tax on monies when you receive them, you deduct expenses when you pay them.....there are a few little exceptions to this like prepaid insurance and estimated tax payments........but since rodney didnt get the money he doesnt pay tax on it. As/if it trickles in over the next few years, he would pay thengnaroz said:Can you explain?

It sounds to me like you're the one that can't manage his money. You actually allowed $20,000 of accumilated debt to occur? On people you suspected of being bums with no money and no hopes of getting any? It's no wonder you no longer have these establishments.macguy said:I can only speak from my own experience. The last pool room I owned, when I sold it I basically put a match to around $20,000 of accumulated debt from these bums who can't financially manage themselves out shoe box. They are for the most part pathetic. Even the ones who manage to get their hands on something like say a pool room usually, piss it away somehow. What do you want me to say?
Should we all just pretend they are bright because they can play a little pool? They live lives of financial failure and in many cases they do it at the expense of whoever is unlucky enough to come in contact with them. I don't keep pool players in the gutter, they have been their own worst enemies from day one and have kept themselves there.

But you can't put that on their shoulders. You and only you made the decision to help them and that is to your credit. But once you've lent that hand you really shouldn't come back and start bad mouthing them because they didn't pay you back. You knew the risk going in.macguy said:I know you feel you took a shot at me but this was over a period of like 10 years. Some will just nickel and dime you to death while others have sob stories. Should I tell you about the world champion who was sitting in my office crying like a baby because his house was going into foreclosure and they were getting divorced begging me for help.
I got the house cleared so it could at least be sold and they would walk away with something. Needless to say, after the closing he was nowhere to be found with my $3500. About a year later I ran into him at a tournament and got my money which of course he had borrowed from like 10 other guys. I admit it, I was a sucker.
Listen, many of these guys are bums plain and simple, you know it and I know it, and there is nothing wrong with that. Just don't expect others to support you or make up for your inability to make a living. Nothing I have said in this thread is at all inaccurate whether one likes to hear it or not.
