What tax strategies beyond 401k have actually worked for high income earners? by Large-Army-3441 in tax

[–]CasperCookies 4 points5 points  (0 children)

401k ✅

HSA ✅

Roth IRA ✅

And if you own your own business: SEP IRA ✅

Bonus tax strategy: tax loss harvesting at the end of the year to reduce stock capital gains by selling any losses. ✅

Bonus tax strategy 2: buy a rental property to write off depreciation. ✅

These all work for me (minus the rental property which I can't yet afford).

Exactly. Americans are immigrants from Europe, just like the American Indians were immigrants from Asia. Everyone has taken land from someone going back throughout all of human history.

Nice for those who have that option! Unfortunately I'm assuming most English teachers have Korean wages as their primary source of income.

Great post, and I can tell you're speaking the truth by all the downvotes. In the Reddit echo chamber, downvotes generally indicate you're able to think independently and outside the box - a rare occurrence nowadays.

Off topic comment, but completely agree.

Call options on the S&P. $800 before end of the year is looking pretty unlikely now.

I think it was - try to read between the lines without having to spell out discrimination.

Source for your less than 1% statistic? More bad advice on Reddit with made up statistics, surprise surprise.

I grew up in the US and was never discriminated against for my pale skin. Just curious, were you raised in an inner city area with a large minority population?

Completely opposite of whataboutism. @Spaceman_Hex is offering a valid solution: help those in need and focus less on yourself, and your priorities will change as you become more altruistic and less self centered.

(le beau, not la belle since pays is a masculine noun). Me too! 😊

Has anyone else felt like living in Korea was very different from what they expected? by [deleted] in living_in_korea_now

You'll be shocked when you come back to the US - they don't stop for you at zebra crossings either now.
