Chris, thanks for the clearer explanation as to how you use it. I started inputing data, but didn't know how many more steps there would be and didn't see a way to save the data. I guess one needs to decide what works best for them and stay with it. Thanks again!
Chris, thanks for sharing. I've not tried using the IRS estimator. Does it allow you to save the information as you input data throughout the year? I've been doing my own spreadsheet for a few years now and I keep tweaking it to make it viewer friendly and understandable. I like all the responses from everyone as there are some methods I didn't know about.
Jeff, indeed I think the suicide counseling is very rare. I believe I know what you're referring to about the questionnaire from the medical office. I see it on my annual Medicare Wellness Visit. Some companies are not very tactful when having to let go of a group of employees. I recall hearing about a meeting with a group of engineers when it was announced which of those would be let go as they went around the table...right in front of everyone including those not losing their job. A real class act from upper management.
When you did the downsizing, did your separation package also include suicide counseling? This isn't something you normally hear, but the company I worked for did. They also offered assistance in finding another job. If someone was being fired, that was a different case, but normally they were given several warnings to improve.
An estimated 13 million pints of Guinness are consumed worldwide on St. Patrick’s Day alone. That’s a one-day foam frenzy. Beer sales overall jump 174% today, with the U.S. pouring more than 3 million of those pints and spending about $6.9 billion celebrating the holiday. “Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona duit” is pronounced: law AY-leh PAW-drig SUN-uh gwit. That’s how the Irish say, Happy St. Patrick’s Day.Practice it once before your next Guinness. You’ll be the most impressive person at the bar.
