  • My video started making more than that per month.

  • I wanted to save the rest because I was like, Oh, great.

  • I can save it so that I can re invested in the videos.

  • Or I could build some sort of technology product, like software or electronics.

  • My current business structure is I'm self employed.

  • So the government looks at that is personal income.

  • For some reason, I thought because I'm just one guy and I just make you two videos.

  • I was like, I can't start a company like I can't do that.

  • I like Wait.

  • So you're telling me if I just incorporate the government will now tax me at 13% because I keep the money there instead of here?

  • Yeah, I'm like, Oh, cool.

  • So So I'm gonna keep all my money there.

  • He's like, Yeah, you should do that.

  • If you can feel like Oh, so, guys, we're starting a company.

  • I guess we're ready running a company, but we're incorporating.

  • We're creating a corporation.

  • And that will mean I only pay myself 1500 a month and everything else is reinvested in the channel.

  • So I'm not gonna buy any lamb bows.

  • All I want is to work on things that are awesome.

  • So my lawyer, I just sent him all the information and he is incorporating on my behalf.

  • Like, right now, you know, it's it's Friday.

  • It's a few days later, my my lawyer got back to me and he said, Hi, Devin.

  • Please see the attached articles of incorporation for your new company.

  • You should be good to set up the bank account.

  • So we're we have a company now.

  • Um, let's see what this looks like.

  • I've probably blew out all of this because a little bit of private information here.

  • Okay, What is happening here?

  • I like you most.

  • It's funny.

  • I used to work at this staples here when I was, like, 16.

  • Now it's four years later.

  • I just bought these folders.

  • I didn't have any at home.

  • Just like a solid.

  • Yeah, that's better.

  • Why didn't I do this sooner?

  • Why didn't I create a company sooner?

  • I'm so excited.

  • I don't know I did.

  • You got business bank accounts open.

  • Cool.

  • I don't know what else to talk about.

  • Um, now what I want to do is move my money from my personal savings into the business savings.

  • But I just realized I need to make sure I do that in a way that it doesn't get taxed.

  • Now, I know why people don't record this stuff because it sounds boring on the outside.

  • Okay, so I've just been editing, but I want to explain a little bit further why I'm doing this.

  • And I want to get into the numbers.

  • I swear, it's not boring.

  • Just trust me here.

  • So I've looked up the combined federal and provincial personal income tax rates for Ontario, Canada, which is where I live.

  • You know, if you make between this much, then you pay this much in tax.

  • I'll tell you, right Right now, guys, I'm around this thes two areas, so I end up putting about 30% away for income tax each month.

  • Like you can see as you want to grow, you end up paying more and more tax if it's on your personal income.

  • But I don't want to use this money for personal personal reasons.

  • What blew my mind is when I looked at the corporate income tax rates.

  • Corporations pay 26.5% tax.

  • But if you make less than $500,000 you pay 13.5% tax.

  • So let's say one month you made $20,000 0 cool.

  • Live $20,000?

  • Nope.

  • You only have $10,000.

  • Whereas if you were a corporation, so the government would only take that much of it.

  • And I don't make that much money.

  • But I am aware that there are many bigger YouTubers stand me that make, like this much money or make a lot more money.

  • I've been questioning.

  • Are these guys incorporated or are they just paying 50% tax?

  • I don't I don't understand because I'm really interested in the numbers side of it, you know?

  • You know, the only reason I'm incorporating is cause people actually wash my videos.

  • So thank you, guys.

  • Thank you for watching.

  • I just am the kind of person who wants to optimize everything.

  • So I'm like, I want Thio.

  • I don't want to lose half my money if I start growing.

  • So how can I not lose half of my money.

  • Oh, this is how you know.

  • So that's really all that's really all this means to me at the current point in time.

So how did I, um I figured out a way to get my personal expenses really, really low, Which that includes rent, groceries, car insurance, phone bill, everything.
