Incidentally, that same family earning $249,000 pays $51,086 to the feds.

I didn't input any information other than what I posted. the results are consistent with what I saw while working a project with some CPA's last year.

@ 72,000 I do believe the normal tax would be nearer to $5000 for a family of four.

Then it's on H&R Blocks head, not mine. I entered the same family of 4. W-2 income. $1500 property tax, $15,000 mortgage interest, and $500 charitable giving in each scenario.

That mortage interest is really high...3X what we pay.

lookout123 · 03-24-2009, 07:27 PM

6% on $250,000 = $15,000

Pico and ME · 03-24-2009, 07:30 PM

Whats the monthly on a mortgage like that? $200O? That would really cut into the take home pay when you only earn $72000 a year.

I guess we just like to live within our means.

FWIW - thats pretty common hereabouts too. Personally, I have neighbors that are doing that on combined incomes under 100k many less than 70k.

That is what ours is, a little higher but close.

Lol. You won't find many people in Arizona and probably none in California who have a mortgage of less than $250,000.

They pay 500k in a lot of places in Calif for a cardboard box. Another good reason to live in the SE.

[trolling]Why should we be providing any treatment to anyone? I thought you were in favor of "Natural selection and all of that." If people have a disease, maybe they're supposed to die.[/trolling]

heh. I am, but since we have medicine, why should only people with means have access to it?

Natural selection would apply to everyone, the way I think of it. That means even rich people wouldn't have access to any treatment they couldn't do themselves.
