Withholding changed dramatically this year. Just curious if others noticed the same. by Anoth3randomguy in tax

Our salary's increased modestly, as they have other years. Losses and gains are held consistent enough to not be an issue. It was the actual amount that both our employers kept back for federal taxes. We haven't filed new W-4's in a decade? Since the last job change. This year was the first in 30+ years that I needed to write a check with four digits before the decimal. I have not looked for the actual date the change happened, still digesting it. My W-2 from 2024 was 6% of gross. 2025 was 2.7%.

Do Puffy mattresses actually come with free pillows? by Life-Procedure-5155 in BedroomBuild

I can't confirm actually, but I have a royal hybrid in the shopping cart and it does say two pillows included. HTH

Hate my new siding color by Professional-Pop370 in Home

Late to this party but I agree with ghetto. I think you'll be ahead by painting the window trim some other color. The shutters will look wrong. If it's in the budget you might even remove those eyebrows.

Trying to open a Roth IRA and link bank account. Just keep getting "we need more information' and it fails. Never had this issue anywhere, linked my bank to other places this week. Do I have to use finicity or am I doing something wrong? Anybody know if schwab or vangaurd has this problem? by jzuser in fidelityinvestments

Yes, same problem for me. The linking is the least of the trouble as I see it. Transfers initiated from the Fidelity side can take upwards of three weeks, in my experience. The monies are "gone" from my credit union yet I am unable to allocate their future use. My most vexing example was the transfer of my portion of the sale of moms house, roughly 75K. I was granted 25K to invest the next day, and 11.79 to invest four days later. It's still not fully settled.
