Re: Taxes
The whole Social Security thing is a double tax as not only will those Require Minimum Distributions push me well into the 22% marginal tax bracket ... it will also result in more Social Security being taxed (at that 22% marginal tax bracket).

Re: Taxes

Re: Taxes
So I was SUPPOSED to first be completing my tax return. But once I had my Excel tax file open I had to do this more fun task. As usual, nothing is simple, so here is a table of looking at my taxes in different ways. (By the way, I was mistaken earlier. I thought I was in the 22% marginal tax bracket...

State is 5%. Therefore, 27% total for the next $$$ earned. But then there is Social Security / Medicare, ...

I read Naismith's biography and don't remember that part.
But you are correct!

Whoah!! Almost 2300. I have the same question as the title of this thread....is this because people think the Middle East situation is spinning out of control?

I hadn't intended to change the colors, but the latest version of the "Elegance" style removed the 7 different color variations, of which "steel blue" was the one we used here. I could probably use an earlier version of the style and get our old colors back. I LOVE the new look!

Anyone else experience the earthquake centered in the New York / New Jersey area??!!! I was sitting at this table and it was wobbling.
