Remember when chipotle was good, the servings were large, and it was reasonably priced? Now it's $15, smaller, and mostly rice. ...

Why do so many people choose to be ignorant about (arguably) one of their biggest financial liabilities? I get that it's not fun to look at all, but most people's returns aren't all that complicated. I will never understand it. ...
He also said DriveShack would go to $15 that summer. It did not and is currently sitting at .27 per share. ...

re: Higher paying job offer

You are probably aware of all this, but that's a job that has a lot of peaks and valleys in terms of WLB. Plenty of downtown during the quarter but lots of hours at quarter end. There can obviously be a big difference between SEC reporting and non SEC reporting, so I get why you're wary about it. If...

[quote] I don’t like that they do it this way but I do understand why. I guess I’ll just ask them to withhold an extra $100 or so from each base salary check just ti be safe[/quote] No one can answer that without knowing your taxable income. Just estimate your 2024 tax liability and then adjust y...

DJ Shockley drove an absolute beater IIRC. We've come a long way since then. Do y'all think Carson is parking that thing at say, Lumpkin Square or Players Club every night? I like to think so. ...

[quote]Makes no sense to evaluate your taxes by simply looking at return vs owing. What was your taxable income, what was the resultant taxes owed, did you have same credits or not..crunch the numbers and find effective tax rate. Only number that matters.[/quote] Yeah tax season is always...illum...

[quote]Is no one bothered by the amount of taxes they are paying? [/quote] Well they need to quantify what makes up that number because it's clearly more than just federal which would be closer to ~22% (standard deduction) on that salary.
