The more money you make the more taxes you pay. Consider yourself lucky that you make more. If they over withhold they will return it to you when you file.

Take it from a CPA, me.

...to add to this... if you're getting a big return and would rather have more in take home pay, it's worthwhile to have a conversation with whoever it is at your company that handles payroll to see if you can change your tax withholdings. At my company I typically sit with anyone who wants and advise them on the appropriate amount of withholdings based on their own personal situation so that there are no surprises when it comes time to file their tax return.

Same. Only reason I get anything back is due to the mortgage interest deduction.

Do the math on diapers alone. Say you go through 6 per day. This is not including healthcare clothes food etc

Diapers? It’s the child care cost

I do the same. I usually actually owe a little. But I never pay underpayment and penalty because I make more every year so as long as you pay in prior year at 100% you’re clear.

That’s the start. Childcare costs are later. But yea 20k per year per kid is about what most of my friends with children pay.

My daughter is mostly potty trained, but still sleeps at night with an overnight diaper. So literally one per day.

When it comes time to buy more I’m still like “dammit”

 

[MakeNTGreatAgain]

it means that people are okay reposting obviously anti semitic twitter content from obvious anti semites,

but they are fine with it as long as it uses the term "zionist" instead of "jew"

Hm i dont think thats the case
i believe most people in here at least know the difference between a zionist or jew
BUT i could be wrong

So the takeaway here is

Trump is happy to let the Neocons go to war with Iran and turn Gaza to glass


as long as he can control the justice department and the military?

sounds bad.

its crazy mane

Trump Completely Humiliates Elon Musk in Front of House Republicans

Elon Musk joined Trump on Capitol Hill for a meeting with Republicans—and the president-elect used the opportunity to ridicule the richest man in the world.

newrepublic.com

“Elon won’t go home. I can’t get rid of him,” Trump said Wednesday. “Until I don’t like him.”

The world’s richest man has reportedly spent “nearly every single day” of the last week at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, according to CNN. Musk has been spotted golfing with the president-elect, dining with him and his wife, Melania, and has even been in the room while Trump phones world leaders, hopping on calls with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell argued that Trump’s comments about Musk were an assertion of his dominance, played before a room that has to play along.

“Everyone laughed,” said O’Donnell. “They laughed that uncomfortable laugh. But they laugh when Donald Trump makes a joke about someone on his team, a joke that everyone knows is true, a joke that paints that person as pathetic, as Donald Trump’s personal sense of superiority demands that he do.”
