Financial Priorities Started by: Jayne_Cobb on Jul 11, '09 17:45

As the average "business person" makes their way through this thing of ours, they find progressively large sums of money come into their possession. These sums far exceed what others of our day make. In my opinion, this makes it even more important for us to have a plan for what we wish to accompish with our liquid assets.


Obviously, the first priority of every one of us should be strengthening our Families. The question is how. While tribute to the boss is the most straightforward, it's not the only way to help out.


It takes money to make money. This old saying is very valid in our way of life. Donating your last buck and being unable to buy drugs to smuggle may give your boss an immediate boost in cash, but will probably inhibit your ability to make money for your Family in the longer term. Conversely, investing in drug fronts involves large outlays of cash, but pays off gradually. It's a matter of juggling long term worth vs short term cost.


Then, there are non-monetary ways of helping the Family. Arguably, investing money in your marksmanship at the gun range is money spent helping the Family. If a war were to break out, you boss would no doubt be grateful for every trainined gun he can get.


What are your thoughts? What are your financial priorities and how do your spend cash to help your organization?

I cannot put it any simpler than this. It's just the way I have always known it to work so if it's not broken then why try and fix it?

I have always kept enough cash on hand to buy the number of units I can carry from the drug dealer (in this case 20) at a rate of $5500. So right now I keep no more than $110000 and the rest gets sent to my boss.

The only time this isn't the case is if he tells me otherwise. Such as he is deseprate for a quick $100,000 in which case I send it over and then I earn it the way I did when I was a Petty Thief. Do Petty Crimes until I have enough to deal my way back up to $110000. Either that or if he wants me to visit the range to train my gun eye in In which case I keep enough to pay off the hourly hire fee and send the rest to him.

Everything else does and should go to the boss. You pay for his protection. Anyone who is Rich obviously is not sharing what he or she earns correctly.

I personally do big donations every few days to the boss. My thought process has several parts:

1. Large donations at once are less paperwork on the boss' desk than lots of small ones.

2. This gives me cushion, so if I have a drug deal go bad, or upgrade my DFP, etc I have the extra funds on hand to do that before transferring cash

3. As part of leadership, I keep funds on hand in case newer players need a bit of running around money to get started on drug deals, etc.

In my opinion i think once you have paid what you need to pay, like drugs,gun training, upgrades on DFP's bribes etc. anything more is surplus so should be given to your boss. they are the ones who need the money, they give you a home and need to be protected.

Usually any spare change i have goes to the boss, so if i have like 2 million the boss will get 1 mill

As Mikhail strolls thru the streets, he hears a conversation he likes...

I feel theres many different vays to financially benefit the family. As I've heard all responses, I have to say bighead's idea is relatively close to my own. Ever since I have been working for Don Deimne, I have been earning some serious dough. Tributes daily are usually within the 8 digit area. 

Now tributing that kind of cash daily isn't an easy task. If there's money to be made, I go out of my vay to make sure its being made. Take a look at Drug Front Properties, a serious amount of money is be accumulated there. I encourage all Flying Monkeys to get one going and am very friendly when it comes to loaning the money to purchase one themselves. I know Don Deimne feels the same.

The other ways to benefit the family are indirectly as this benefit youself directly and the family secondly. Using the training range, purchase Crackdowns to benefit yourself and others in the family. Those kinds of things. 

These things all benefit the family. Like I said, if theres money to be made, why not make it? If you have to borrow it from someone, go ahead. Your family and you will come out on top in the end.

I was having a discussion about this with a family member, basically I would give half of what I earn to the boss which would leave me enough to do what I need to do, whether that be smuggling drugs, training a gun etc

Your first obligation is to the famly. Whatever the boss needs, the boss gets. Obviously you keep enough to survive.

I beg to disagree....you can get rich and at the same time share your earnings correctly...its just a matter of calculations...compute on drug deals...petty...dfp  and muc...and in a week you can have both...

Alfie stops after bought a Vanila Ice Cream in this hot climate

You're absolutely right ms. Kates is not everyone Rich doesn't want to donate their money to their family like me example, I got a policy I can keep 1 mil and after it goes up I sent them all to my Boss except my 1 mil. So you can say every drug runs I did all the profit money go to my Boss Pocket
