Wait, isn't the first $2.4k untaxed? $83k at 3% APR is about that. How much do you need?

Then pay the tax on the interest from your investments. You'd need ~$80k in the bank before you pay this tax.

So, you're older than 50.
If you're putting away $37,000 a year+other tax shelters, you can afford some tax on the rest. "Live within your means and sacrifice" my ass. I'd have to sacrifice eating to put away $37000/year.

Once you have enough liquid assets to cover emergencies, you should be putting that money in a retirement account with tax benefits.

How are you paying any significant I&D tax without being a trust fund baby?
Edit: 401Ks and IRA have tax benefits that let you save for retirement with significant tax benefits. Unless you're maxing out contributions to one or both why would you make taxable investments?

The government's going to get that rich asshole money one way or another and I'd rather it come through the IRS than a lobbyist.

Best: nature and a live and let live kind of attitude Worst: so called libertarians who seem mostly concerned with the "right" to launder money and attract bears, but somehow oppose abortion rights

Trump.

The numbers change after 50, but you put away $28k last year and $29k this year. Probably more in another tax shelter like life insurance. Plus at least $60k in other investments and probably some home equity.
Why are you pretending to be working class?
