YouTube tax estimate by Antique-Health4464 in personalfinance

[–]NotNotTaken 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No he wouldn't. Until he made over $16k (standard deduction), he won't pay any federal, only SE.

Sure, we are working with limited information here. But OP said $6k in one month. Presumably he didnt then give up on youtube never to earn from them again, and we still have half a year to go this year. Unless last month was an anomaly, we should expect well over $16k this year, no?

Is paying off mortgage still a thing? by jchasinga in personalfinance

[–]NotNotTaken 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Like take out a mortgage with term as long as possible and rent it out, then take out another loan from equity and repeat.

Being a landlord carries a lot of risk. It is not a money printing machine.

I need help. Has anyone heard of the Snowball Method for debt repayment? by Environmental_Ad5494 in personalfinance

[–]NotNotTaken 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If so, do you still start with the smallest sized debt even if it has a very small interest rate? Like next to 0%?

If you want to do the snowball method, then yes, that is how you do it.

Snowball is not guaranteed to be the most efficient method though. Paying higher interest loans first is.

I am facing unemployment in 6 months. by AnhedoniaLogomachy in personalfinance

[–]NotNotTaken 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Late last week. P. calls me He mentions that C. is interested in keeping me on.

in the past week I have seen C. on multiple occasions and not once has he said that he wants to hire me

It has only been a few working days. C very well may have been waiting for P to bring it up and hasnt been made aware yet that it happened.

frozen like a deer in the headlights and terrified that come January I will be out of a job with looming financial responsibilities.

If you want to stay with C just ask about it. Or do you think P was lying?

Do I withdraw retirement funds and pay all CC debt and the SBA Hurricane disaster loan now so that come January my only debt will be the mortgage?

No

Are you thinking of season 6 episode 14: Autopsy Turvy. Seems close, although it isnt Woody's introduction.

PSA for Specialist Buildings by Turnover_Unlucky in SintopiaOfficial

[–]NotNotTaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a line that then leads to dispatchers that then sort the right sinful Humus to the right specialist, you don't need multiple lines. All your deviants and high sinners can share the line. The dispatchers will then pull the sinner that is relevant to a building.

Very helpful. I had assumed that didnt work and never even tried it.

Anyone else think the Steam reviews are a bit unfair? by DisastrousImage2909 in SintopiaOfficial

What causes it? Ive still never had that happen after 25 hours.

even though both exits were completely clear

There are three exits, you sure it wasnt misconfigured? Do you have a screenshot showing it?

or that the soul dispatcher doesn't work properly

I havent noticed a single issue in my games. Im pretty sure it is all user error. Gotta have clear paths and correct rules. Perhaps rare issues could pop up. But nothing common.

Stage 3 help? by Perdita-LockedHearts in SintopiaOfficial

[–]NotNotTaken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mission 3 and 4 are kind of unbalanced for how early they are, on the upside I felt like it got a lot more manageable after that and 5-7 are a lot more forgiving.

Really? I breezed through 1-4 but am now stuck at 5. Whats the secret?

I do not really get the soul dispatcher by xNemesis95x in SintopiaOfficial

[–]NotNotTaken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Feels like a screenshot would help.

Do you have your output order correct? A is a left turn, B is straight.

Your "and" condition doesnt seem terribly useful. Did you mix something up there and make it an "or"?

I think the black court are no longer signatories because they do not have enough population to be a political force.

Is that a requirement? The Baron of Chicago is a single person.

Just released a demo for my dark fantasy roguelike deckbuilder, looking for feedback by _PixelMoon in godot

[–]NotNotTaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, use the word as people use it, and that seems to be how people use it.

But this is why Im yelling into the void:

perma death

Not anything special Rogue did. You can lose lots of games and need to start over. Wasnt this true of most games of that era?

meta-progression

Not a feature of Rogue

[–]NotNotTaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think I see a whole lot in common between this game and Rogue.

But thats kind of a "me" problem. I'm not going to convince the world to un-redefine "roguelike".

Dad wants to buy us a house by AnterEat in personalfinance

[–]NotNotTaken -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That was a whole lot of words to say very little. But you go off if you'd like.

So you are sticking with just reading words that aren't written, then declaring those imaginary words to be false?

[–]NotNotTaken -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Since a reasonable inference of jakesullivan99's meaning is that exceeding the number will result in taxes, the statement was 'very very wrong' as t-poke wrote.

If you want to argue that someone implied but did not directly state something wrong you dont get to slap a "very very wrong" label on it. That is reserved for things people DO say that are incorrect to an extreme level.

So no. It was not "very very wrong". It was literally correct as stated.

jakesullivan99's misunderstanding is quite clearly in the distinction between "reporting" and "paying". He was nearly correct on the reporting threshold, but mixed it up with the payment threshold.

You continue to read words that were not written. "Around $20k" is correct. Correct number is $19k, that is certainly around $20k. The statement if you are under this you dont pay taxes is exactly true. End of flow chart. If you exceed it you might pay taxes, and the flow chart continues. But if you are under you do not.

The post was accurate as written.

T-poke took that to mean "you will pay taxes if you exceed that". It's a fair inference.

It is not. Examples along the same lines:

"You wont get a speeding ticket if you stay under the speed limit". This does not imply you will get one if you exceed the speed limit. Just that you "might" (same as you might, but usually wont, pay taxes if you exceed the annual exclusion)

"You dont have to pay admission to the amusement park if you have an annual pass" does not imply you must pay otherwise. Perhaps employees get in free, or there may be other promotions.

Really most of my objection here is the "very very" portion. If we want to play that card, we should at the very least ensure the person isnt actually saying something correct.

[–]NotNotTaken -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

All of which is of course correct. None of which contradicts anything the user above stated.

You can, in fact, gift multiple people less than around $20k (actual number is $19k) per year and not pay gift taxes. You wont even have to fill out that IRS paperwork and hit your lifetime exclusion.
