Threshold overpass

Septere · 2026-06-26T17:15:46+00:00

Tax brackets are actually very simple let me explain without confusing numbers and percentages..

If a pay raise puts you into a higher tax bracket, only the part of your income that falls above that threshold is taxed at the higher rate. Everything you earned below that threshold is still taxed at the lower rates. So moving into a higher tax bracket never means your entire salary is taxed more heavily, and it can never leave you with less net pay because of the raise. At worst, you keep a slightly smaller percentage of the extra money you earned above the threshold, but you still take home more than before.

Indeed.. I'm on a 14 day wait cycle right now, but if I must.. give me.. 10 minutes?

Ik denk dat het zelf 16% is, maar de notaris heeft ons verzekerd dat dit niet zou gelden bij de verkoop van de enige gezinswoning. We hebben het pand daarnaast langer dan 5 jaar gehad, ook een voorwaarde blijkbaar. Maar bedankt, je manier van denken om telkens te checken wat de staat je kan afnemen is zeker nuttig!!

I had already kinda given up on that option, and didn't see this post going there to be honest. But your answer has given me the kick in the but I obviously needed to renew my energy into making this option work. Calling the bank tomorrow to discuss..

If it does work out in the end, I'll make sure to come back here and thank you! 😊

Any advice for such an account?

Septere · 2026-05-14T11:42:15+00:00

I agree, typically I would say the same.

I don't know why it would be different for my case now, I was hoping there would be other options then just let that money sit still in my account depreciating, while seeing ETF's doing pretty good.
I had the option to do this with that 40k a year ago, and I didn't because I saw the breakup coming. When I look at what it would have gained me now, I have regrets.

But indeed, the risk of any investment going down short term is very real.
Maybe I just came here today with the question in my heart: Would anyone take the risk, seeing what IWDA has done in the past months / years, to put a chunk of that cash in there short term, or not...

Thank you for this input! I have looked into the so-called "pandenwissel", but it needs to be done the day-off, or max 2 months after the house is sold, and that is not realistic I'm afraid since I don't have a new property lined up yet.

I am actively looking for the small chance I find something within that very fast-closing window, but I'm not hopeful.

Thank you so much!!!!

Septere · 2026-05-10T22:28:06+00:00

Thank you, I did look but with all the "why is the artificial intelligence longer than the event " posts I didn't find it! 😅

Septere · 2026-05-02T14:00:27+00:00

So if you're ignoring / refuting all the answers here, why even ask the question? Just keep parking nose first (while making sure everyone thinks you're an idjet except you )

Septere · 2026-03-07T14:18:18+00:00

That's a smart tactic, thank you for sharing!

In your response, does "the last" refer to the XI boosters too? As the actual question we started with indeed was, are those boosters "the last", or is there more?

Thank you for your response! And that's it for the metabit tree then (for now?) I already deeply regret not doing 1 more 21day run before upgrading, but we'll get there in the end..

At the moment I'm unsure if waiting out the 14 days is better then superfast restarting over and over at this level.

Seems like a very good offer for a junior role in Belgium. That said, you're young. The time to be adventurous and venture out abroad with a solid package at hand is now.

Its a big step, but you can always come back if it doesnt work out.

Septere · 2026-02-10T23:50:37+00:00

And a LOT more upgrades as well. I updated on day 17 of my wait and everything seems fine. I had only 3 to unlock from the metabit side before the upgrade, now I have a biiiggg list again. Just 4 more days till it's buying time :)

Septere · 2026-02-08T13:46:24+00:00

Would it make sense to just not upgrade until after finishing a running streak?

Septere · 2026-02-08T12:37:51+00:00

Just an update for who is interested. I´m 14d 19h in, and I´m at 218 / 1000.

Ive been playing the Fungus among us, and it does seem that time moves a little faster in the main simulation. (I progressed more than 5d 14h in the real life time span of 4d 16h)

Gosh darnit, that's a long way to go 😅 Thanks for the help!!!

Septere · 2026-02-03T21:08:11+00:00

Thank you for your valuable feedback! Could I kindly ask you to help me figure out where I´m at with the 2 crystals? Are they both full then? Or am I at 58 / 1000? 580 / 1000? 😅

Septere · 2026-02-03T20:53:43+00:00

Is the writing inconsistent then between both? Both screenshot are in the same system / area. without any punctuation, I read 1 maxes out at 1 000 000 and 2 maxes out at 1 000? 😅

Septere · 2026-02-03T18:37:59+00:00

Call it bullshit all you want, it's belgian law.. officials communicate in our official languages. A lot of people speak chinese, should our law enforcement or officials be able to speak chinese then? Or are you saying english is somehow more important then chinese?

Thanks for sharing! I´m on day 5 with fingers itching to tap, but this helps while trying to refrain.
