I read your first sentence quickly and had to back up and read it again. I swear, I thought you said "Last February, before I retired from wrestling..." hahaha. I thought Whoa. Who IS this guy?!
Thanks for the post.
I enjoyed this post very much. I had similar thoughts about my bracket bumping for Roth conversions each year. When you convert 40 or 50K from your traditional ira to reach the top of your bracket only to notice that it doesn't LOOK like you did anything at all because the investments compounded more than amount that within the same tax year... He just continues to grow and scoffs at my feeble attempts to reign him in. What a @$#%#^ fabulous problem to have! I love a challenge.
Hi Ormonde. What is this thing 'state tax'?! ;). Just teasing. I am in Florida but I'd still like to learn. Are you saying people that pay state tax might not have this NIIT assessed??
Spreadsheets satisfy the creative in the making, the engineer in the required understanding, the control freak in the unarguable concrete results and the basic human need to have digital proof there we're so very smart and pretty. Hahaha. Definitely comfort and joy!!!
