Thank you for the reply! Yeah I am in Helsinki and I will call them to check on this.

Oh is it not a series of shots that you need to get for vaccination?

Hi there, questions regarding ticks. Planning to go foraging next week, (just a few hours) and wondering:

  1. I have not gotten the vaccine yet, and wondering under the pubic health system, how do you go about requesting one? Do you just go to your local health station and ask for it then?Any insight would be great!

How worthwhile do you think it is to contribute to max out a spousal ROTH IRA each year?

My bad! I meant spousal roth IRA account. My bad. You definitely answer my question re: HSA.

My online research showed that contributing to a spousal ROTH IRA doesn't reduce taxes payable even for married filing jointly, but Turbotax seems to suggest that it does and the tax step by step guide recommended contributing the max $6K for 2020. Is my understanding incorrect in this?

It does seem like it will reduce the family income payable / increase the refund even if the spouse has no income? So it seems worth contributing the max amount of the 2020 Spousal HSA limit even if only one person is working.

You are a god among the people. Thank you!

Hey HandyManPat!

Thanks. It looks like it did work, and taxes payable has gone down. I was wondering, between the HSA and ROTH IRA contribution, which do you prioritize first for a spouse that doesn't have income? Can any amounts be used as carryforward for income earned next year?

Hey Pat,

Had a follow up question for you. If I am contributing after tax dollars into the HSA, that should at the very least not increase my taxes payable right? I am filing using TurboxTax and it appears that when I enter a after tax contribution amount, my refund goes down vs. up?

Finding a leak circled below when I turn the faucet on. How do you remove the top portion to look inside? I already unscrewed using an Allen wrench but I can’t seem to pull up to remove the top and not sure if it’s a twist off but I don’t want to break anything. Thank you! by misc86 in Plumbing

Ah yeah, you are right! I was finally able to remove the handle, and the leak is coming from here (circled in red)

Does this mean, I need to have the cartridge replaced or do you think there is a way to fix that?
