Greetings programs... just a quick strawpoll if you will to get your opinion on how this PMA shoudl continue. I have not finished and have been hesitating on the full agreement for the PMA members, because I want to make sure and do it right as well as making it a trust that benefits all of us. That said, I am considering taking all of the membership fees that you each pay each month and putting the majority into an investment fund, very much like government and pension funds do it. The idea is to have that money in trust with a trustee that will ensure it is spent on something we can all enjoy in the future. It can be called the "monestary fund" or even just the "Land Trust" for the PMA.
In this way, because the whole point of this site is proof of concept, that is, proving that privacy is the path to be on and the trust and PMA models indeed work to that purpose, after so many years of contributing to the fund it will get to the point where it can be used to purchase land or something else beneficial to us all, or to start some other form of private foundation or home school program. It also allows me to remain mostly seperate from the money, not influenced by it, knowing it will go to group cause in the future. If I've done anything wrong with the PMA as well, then the money will be there and unspent, showing good intent and clean hands. Whatever the case may be, please let me know what you think in the comments here. Should I start an investement fund, with the exception of paying the bills for this site and a small stipend for my private expenses? Is there something else you'd like to see done with it to benefit this private association or people? I think we all have a lot more learning to do, and this will no doubt turn into a place to do so, hopefully linking up with some other reputable PMA's and sources of knowledge. Until then, it would be great to have this "fund" when we reach the point were we decide to do something.
Or I could just go to Vegas... LOL!
Thanks for your time, patience, and support, and please comment below with your opinion and any ideas or something you'd like to invest in.

I'm all for the good of the private cause... just barely holding onto "my" "postage stamp" property...i say daily thanks for. U of all, know it aint mine anyway re extortion fees. For years haven't been smart enuf to figure out how to at least put my place and very old truck in PRIVATE TRUST . IOW; do you remember all the people out there charging fees to put one's valuables in trust for you? I still can't find my way to liquidity. MY POINT; I understand Brandon offers some kind of service along these lines? The exciting point of connecting with THIS/YOUR site for me...discovering ways to protect what i do have. Is this here on the site that i've missed or would U be suggesting going private through Brandon and his schedule of trust option scenarios. At the time I spoke to him ( b4 your site was launched) it came down to him setting something up for me vs a guided assistance I was hoping to create. If you might lend your thoughts?
Re your $25 per year fund accumulation; Honestly...I'm not sure how you live now? That's none of my biz but I don't think you have land now? Thought u were a renter...like the rest of us. I think any extra dough you get ..if u can call it "extra"...i trust you'll spend for the sake of your belief spreading the word or continuing to help people through the tough questions CURRENTLY on how IF POSSIBLE...one may protect what they DO have. Fools like myself that have yet to find a way to live and create PRIVATE income on my/their property.
Sorry not to fall into one of your "poll" choices exactly...it would kind of b # 3 i suppose ....UNLESS it can be PRIVATELY recognized for any autonomy that may provide, land can be the best of investments. I would NOT advocate for ANY Gen Pur fund without enormous due diligence ...I wouldn't think you to trust ANYTHING associated with stocks /bonds. Talk about no control. What's your experience with "retirement funds" ? Asking any "retired" school teacher or state worker (hollywood tech or tradesman) the answers for management of the fund completely out of their hands ...?? It's all digitized, out of state and sometimes country?...takes years for someone like me to "stand under" with any comprehension. For such cleaver people as yourself and Brandon with his experience...Is anywhere near the stock market and it's "safe" funds the best one can do to "save" money with the hope of a "dollop" of interest?
