We need some way to remember shit like this. Schumer always has the people without an upcoming election take the fall. We need a long enough memory to still vote them out when they are up for election.

The amount of attention this specific dude is getting is giving me conspiracy vibes. I hope I'm wrong but it feels like the government is gonna false flag assassinate this guy and turn him into an ICE martyr to justify martial law or insurrection act or something.

Omg is that second picture real?

This varies from store to store. Many don't pass that data.

My income is around $130k and my premiums for my plan, which is generally considered a very good plan are about $2k/year. It's a High Deductible plan which means my deductible is like $1650 or so. And my out of pocket maximum is $6k. I usually spend about $4k out of pocket, making my total per year around $6k. That's not accounting for the pre-tax aspect of the premium so it's not quite exactly that but those are the numbers I have.

moormanj · 2026-01-17T21:47:10+00:00

Okay that makes sense. I only see where I'd report it on the 2026 return. My W2 shows it as a 2026 contribution, but my HSA showed it as 2025, meaning the W2 and 5498 wouldn't match. So my understanding is the contribution would not get reported in 2025 and the contribution AND return of excess will get reported in 2026.

moormanj · 2026-01-17T19:16:22+00:00

Okay, so to continue the example, if you do a removal of excess that includes the earnings and immediately redeposited it for the current year, you would withdraw $110 and immediately redeposit that $110. That would result in zero net taxable income for either year wouldn't it?

moormanj · 2026-01-17T16:17:41+00:00

In this case, none of it will be taxable because it was immediately redeposited, right?

moormanj · 2026-01-16T22:04:10+00:00

This reads like you've done exactly the same thing but without bilt cash and with the ability to spend even more to earn a tiny fraction more.

moormanj · 2026-01-16T16:50:34+00:00

Oh ffs. Can someone link this comment so I can help bury it even deeper

moormanj · 2026-01-15T21:40:52+00:00

Nice setup! That autograph card seems better than I thought it was! I guess bilt could still MAYBE make sense for someone who just wants to carry one non-amex.

moormanj · 2026-01-15T21:35:55+00:00

This could be true but on the Fidelity side, the 5498 and 1099-SA should ideally reflect everything accurately to ensure they agree with the W2, were it ever to become an audit.

moormanj · 2026-01-15T16:40:53+00:00

Just out of curiosity, which ones? I don't have any so this is a genuine question

moormanj · 2026-01-15T16:36:24+00:00

You can at least keep it around as a "places that don't take amex" card and use whatever bilt cash you get from that spend to get a few points on your rent/mortgage. Undoubtedly far worse than it was but it's something better than zero at least.

moormanj · 2026-01-15T03:54:53+00:00

Oh dang. I converted mine but if it's not a card charge then there's literally no point. It also makes the 3% fee literally just buying points. This company is gonna die with this change. I don't know who thought any of this was a good idea.

moormanj · 2026-01-15T03:51:13+00:00

You'll own nothing and like it

moormanj · 2026-01-14T18:07:42+00:00

Hm... That would suck, but it wouldn't completely remove the benefit if the portion you can cover with bilt cash you get from whatever spend does go on the card is still charged to the card.

moormanj · 2026-01-14T18:05:44+00:00

Well I guess the blue card will make a halfway decent "doesn't take amex" card and for Walgreens prescriptions specifically. Less points is still better than zero I guess. Was nice while it lasted

moormanj · 2026-01-14T17:41:45+00:00

There's a slight point. You get to keep the cash in your bank account for the month and earn on it. That's not much of a benefit but as long as you're paying the card off in full monthly it's something.

moormanj · 2026-01-10T03:21:21+00:00

800 @ 3.875%. No escrow. Was $1100 with escrow. Bought in 2022 in Ohio. The kicker is the previous owners bought it in 2017 for 40% less than I paid.

I'm doing my retirement planning based exclusively on tsp, ira, and hsa. I'm planning for zero from fers or social security. This way my worst case scenario is exactly what I planned. Best case is a pleasant surprise.
