re: Sam Darnold California Tax Bill

Darnold lost money playing in the Superbowl with CA's stupid greedy tax structure.
Summary:
He owes almost $80k even though the NFL pay to players in the Superbowl is $178k.
Being in the state for 7days and triggering the "Jock Tax" they get to tax that percentage of days he was in CA. So the % of days he was in CA they tax his $30 mill contract at 13.5%.


Poor football players :rolleyes:

No one really wants to understand that for some reason.

Sound advice and you’re not following it.


I did follow it. Not sure what you mean.

100% There's too many companies that will pay for grad school to pay for it out of pocket.


This or get a fellowship or a fully funded assistantship. In my case, I was funded by an NSF grant. Full tuition, stipend, health care. This is the norm for STEM.

I'm guessing they didn't "payed" you to get a Master's in English.


Damn :lol:

I was driving. No not English

Anyways, the best advice I received about this decision was from one of my undergrad professors: dont go to graduate school unless its paid for.

Towards the end of this year it will spike because of elections and liquidity especially if QE starts and the fed drops interest rates but sure, 4 year bla bla. The 4 year guys will say it's coming out of winter early but the crypto market follows global liquidity as much as if not more than the halving.


I agree with you. The pattern is getting less pronounced and we’re still in a lower liquidity environment

Everyone knows crypto has a 4 year cycle at this point... yet here you are with your arguments from 2016.

"magic internet money"

While BTC crashes to *checks notes*... $70,000 per coin.:lol:
