    It would take another move to get out of that schedule. It's just the nature of job that calls for that schedule. The additional income would definitely be the thing that pushes me over the edge to do it.

    How much would you get paid versus taxes taken out. We all know someone who took the promotion for the extra $50 - 10-15K . Tax time rolls around, they're loosing 55% of the raise. Been better off staying at their current pay rate.

    At Coord Field for the DU-CC hockey game. Security prohibits sticks with signs or clubs, yet baseball bats are perfectly fine...would you rather get poked in the eye or bludgeoned to death? WTF

    This should be a non-issue. Just between 401k, IRA, and HSA, an INDIVIDUAL can reduce their taxable income by $27,000 every year. If that's not enough to keep you out of the next tax bracket, then CONGRATULATIONS!

    We're covered under my wife's medical plan (health worker) and her employer contributes to our HSA.

    I'm capped at $18K plus (over 50) catch up $6K in my 401K and not eligible for additional pretax (tax deferred) contributions to any plan. I believe our 401k employer match - which actually goes into ESOP stock also has something to do with that.

    I wish we could get our spending under control. Paying hers and one kids student loans isn't helping. Did you know a Nursing degree is more $$$ than a post graduate MBA?

    I am driving two paid off 13 & 12 year old vehicles...
