If one borrows money from a private person and repays them by working in their household - domestic cleaning, ironing, gardening, house sitting etc., does the money borrowed count as a loan or a wage?

Thank you. The money was given upfront. Who would be able to confirm if this is a loan or a wage - an accountant?

For example, my brother bought me a car and I repay him working in his business. However, he does not pay me and declares my earnings on his tax return. I suppose this would be a loan.

However, my friend wants to give me money in exchange for house work. I am not sure of this one.

If the payment is $130,000 and the money comes from someone who claims to be a lawyer, it's hush money.

Didnt realize it so much before.

The brain wants to feel good 24/7. So to me, if I feel depressed it is always triggered by something or a series of events and thoughts. Depression is an unnatural state for the mind to be in.

For instance, I recently had an event that contributed to my recent bout of depression. The death of my loving pet Pomeranian, Sierra. The vet said she had a strong heart for her advanced age, but her liver was starting to give out. So the heartbreaking decision was made to euthanize her. That was only a week ago. And the recovery continues.

My teenage kid has a ton of money and no actual job.

Offer to help!
Behind the scenes that is. Go to vistaprint to get business cards and sales flyers to be mailed out. Become the CFO of the company to track income and expenses. At some point you may need to pay taxes. And possibly apply for a business license. He has enough to worry about so assuming this burden yourself will help him grow.

It will also give you a chance to keep a small database of his customers. A couple days later make a follow up phone call to them to get feedback on how their experience with your son went. Useful information.
