Banks are where it gets annoying. Mine wanted a local address and a copy of the CA registration too since that is where I actually work, so the Wyoming papers alone were not enough. Took an extra week and a half of back and forth. Clients never cared once the invoices had a real name on them. The one thing to watch is your CA taxes, because the state still wants its cut on income you earn there even with a WY LLC. Register as a foreign LLC in CA if you are doing business in state or you may get a surprise later. Talk to the cousin who does books about that part, it is worth the hour.

The part about "that take was just a guess from someone with no dental training" really hits home for me. I used to brush off flossing because I read somewhere online that it was mostly a waste of time and that rinsing with mouthwash did the same thing. My old dentist never pushed back on it, so I figured I was fine. Then I switched offices and the new hygienist showed me the little ruler thing they use to measure gum pockets, and a few of mine were worse than they should have been for my age. That was the moment I stopped listening to random internet guys about my teeth. Now I floss most nights and my gums barely bleed at cleanings, which never used to be the case. It is wild how much confidence people have about stuff they were never trained in.
