jerryskids 6,835 Posted February 24, 2009 Well, according to that analysis, 5.7%. But the base rate tax increases haven't been passed yet. I'm fairly confident that Obama is not working feverishly to provide people like me more money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tikigods 76 Posted February 24, 2009 I'll be saving about 9%. However, big mistake was paying off my college loans early and have little to no mortgage on my house. I guess it doesn't pay to be financially responsible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lackman 0 Posted February 24, 2009 Maybe we should start a Geek Christmas Fund, so that proceeds from the tax loan shark credit can be pooled together so that this holiday season, some lucky mouth breathers will be able to proudly tell their family, "Our prayers are answered. We now have our very own dishwasher. Tell grandma she doesn't have to collect her spit in a jar anymore." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All I can say is that I'm grateful I got into the real estate market when I did and pulled my money from the stock market before it bottomed out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greedo 13 Posted February 25, 2009 I've lost 10 times that in the stock market. I've lost 10 times that because my neighbor forclosed I would rather have job security than 30 extra bucks a month But thanks for the bone. I would have preferred a separate bill for the tax cuts, and seen the stimulus as a strict "create and save jobs now" bill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
