comment Yield of a municipal bond with a sinking fund?
Can't tell for sure, but since the schedule lists a price (par) and the bonds are listed as lacking "sinking fund protection," I'm presuming the issuer is paying off the debt by calling a portion of the bonds each year.

comment How to avoid tax when taking a windfall in small chunks?
Good point, not every business is a salable asset, especially if it is centered around a single person. Even then, an acquirer may demand a significant discount. On the other hand, a larger buyer may be able to extract more value from the software due to greater marketing resources or product synergies, and therefore might pay much more than the OP's $3m figure...

Vanguard is great, but if you'd want to track Singapore's Times Straits Index, you'd have to look elsewhere.

comment P2P lending in Maryland?
As an alternative to Prosper and Lending Club, I would advise withdrawing your funds in small bills, which you then set on fire. This will generate a predictable amount of heat.

comment What are the ins/outs of writing equipment purchases off as business expenses in a home based business?
Yes. Rent is usually fully deductable in the year it is paid. That's why many companies prefer leasing to owning (in addition to improved cash flow). But keep in mind that the cost of renting may be much more than the cost of owning an item outright (even if you borrow money to purchase it).
