So many older guys at work complain about working too much overtime as it all goes to taxes. I try and explain taxes to them every time, but it's like talking to someone that is unwilling to comprehend anything other than what they "know."

I hear this all the time from those who dislike overtime. Every job I've had I've worked overtime with paychecks substantially larger because of jt.

Back when I was hourly and could get overtime, the goal was overtime by Thursday morning because thats when I got paid what I was really worth.

As far as overtime goes.

Once I hit 48 hours the reward doesn't outweigh the BS.

I'm a different breed than the general population. The group here will relate.
As the annual company bonus was coming due, I maxed my 401k while others were turning theirs off. And adjusting tax withholding to zero also!!!
Broke azz people just HAD to have it in their pocket.

A friend of mine turned down a small raise “because I didn’t want to jump into a higher tax bracket”. I just shook my head

Wish I could do that. I’m in BTCFX, which I saw really good gains last year and the same so far this year.

What’s the plan for those of you guys holding MSTY? I recently opened an individual fidelity account and put some money into a couple stocks mentioned here and just curious the plan of those with MSTY.

I am effectively retired with no pension, too young for SS and can't access my IRA for 2 1/2 years. I had enough cash set aside to make it. I decided to invest 1/3 of that cash in MSTY. The projected dividend that is paid out 13 times a year will cover my monthly living expenses.

Way to go

My Trad is heavy MSTR and FBTC.

When I look at stuff like msty I don’t understand how to read what the projected dividend is. Can someone explain this part to me?
