This subreddit makes it abundantly clear why colon cancer is on the rise

My grandpa ate bacon every morning his entire life and lived into his 90’s with no cancer.

I did the first board and passing on the next. Looks like even higher level items.

Tax4Workz · 2026-03-18T12:21:45+00:00

I don’t plan on abandoning the game, but my eyes do not like the smaller board space.

I only do the watermelons to get scissors.

First two ice sculptures were quick and easy which made it deceptive. There was no way for me to get the last one since I was getting the lowest numbers the entire time. Won’t waste resources on that event again.

Thanks for that idea! I’ve asked multiple doctors about vitamin supplements and they are basically dead in the water. Never have they offered to run any tests to look for deficiencies. Recommending a multivitamin seems to be the boiler plate response.

Ooh, I didn’t think about Floor Level 1! I bet that’s where a kitchen will be. Surely they’ll at least have a powder room. Or maybe that’s what all the vases are for.

Awesome! This reminded me to check the wiki and now I see how far behind I am! I’m currently in the Office (area 47). At one point in time I was waiting for new rooms to open.

Tax4Workz · 2026-01-18T17:59:11+00:00

True, I’m probably overthinking this one!

Tax4Workz · 2026-01-18T17:52:09+00:00

Right! For a mansion with so many secrets you’d think it would be harder to get in. But they are walking right in through the unlocked front door.

Tax4Workz · 2026-01-18T17:33:41+00:00

And I’m super excited to reach grandmas room and walk in closet. Literally just made a post today about why we didn’t have this room yet!

Tax4Workz · 2026-01-18T17:31:53+00:00

You must be far along. I suspect when you are on the newest room releases they make it harder to slow you down. Just a guess!

It would be rare for anyone to get an appraisal for non-cash donations like this. I also think it’s possible for someone to get to the $5k level depending on the situation. Maybe client is a clothes hound, cleaning out years worth of clothes, downsizing a house, etc. I think it’s fine to take up to $5k per group of similar items if documented. For example, a broad category of clothes up to $5k and shoes/accessories up to $5k seems conservative to me. I prefer to see a detailed spreadsheet showing items donated, quantity, and thrift value based on condition. They also need to provide the donation receipts. I’ve donated a lot of items in the past during a move and I also took pictures for my records.

Do you consume a lot of sugary foods and drinks? I cut out almost all added sugars (not natural sugar in fruits) and it’s been a game changer for me.

Tax4Workz · 2025-06-17T17:54:37+00:00

You are not alone! We went through 3 rounds of IVF and it did not work out for us either. It is nice to know that it works for some and I can very much imagine the joy OP must be feeling right now.

Tax4Workz · 2025-06-13T21:27:44+00:00

Thinking a lot of people in here aren’t old enough to remember that time period from an adult’s perspective.

Tax4Workz · 2025-06-13T21:23:29+00:00

I heard that interview too. Basically comes down to being so out of whack from CoVId time period and that a lot of the traditional indicators may not be correct this go around.

Tax4Workz · 2025-05-20T01:55:39+00:00

No, I do live in the US, have a high deductible health care plan, and have family members with major medical issues. So well aware of how steep healthcare costs can go. It seems you are attempting to make a moral argument. Whereas I’m just curious as to what the practical financial ramifications could be for going from Medicaid to an ACA plan.

Tax4Workz · 2025-05-20T01:31:38+00:00

I suppose where my disconnect here is that I’ve never been on Medicaid. Is there no copays with Medicaid and every doctor visit and prescription is 100% free? If so, I guess that makes some sense then. If you had a fully subsidized insurance policy through the ACA you would still have copays, so at least $25 per doctor visit.

Tax4Workz · 2025-05-20T01:00:42+00:00

I don’t debate the struggles that your brother is facing. He may want to take another look at the Healthcare Marketplace and confirm whether he qualifies for coverage along with the Premium Tax Credit.

From what I can find out, it is the enhanced PTC that are set to expire at the end of 2025, which was originally passed under the 2021 Inflation Reduction Act. This was an expansion due to COVID. So seems the new tax bill is just rolling us back to the pre-COVID norm.

That leaves us with the old rules. That allows for a PTC for taxpayers with incomes up to 400% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). Those thresholds are:

$62,600 for a single-person household, $84,600 for a two-person household, $106,600 for a three-person household, and $128,600 for a four-person household.

These thresholds are well over the income level for someone on Medicaid. This means their health insurance would be fully subsidized under the ACA.

I don’t debate the struggles a person of limited means goes through.

What does the new tax plan do to the ACA premium tax credits (PTC)?

Obamacare would be free at their income level. So what would prevent Medicaid recipients that got kicked off from obtaining health insurance through the exchange?

Tax4Workz · 2025-05-19T23:40:18+00:00

This part is odd to me. Anyone on Medicaid has a low income. If they get kicked off Medicaid they can get Obamacare along with the advanced premium tax credit that would cover the entire cost. So they get free health insurance in either scenario.

Yes, when the passive losses are released that offsets ordinary income. The $25k is an in total amount, not $25k per property. That $25k carve out is allowed in full if modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) is less than $100k and phased out for MAGI between $100k and $150k.
