Retirement planning is different. If you have never worked with seniors, then you wouldn't understand. Thanks for playing.

Glad you know everything. I just spoke to my financial advisor today. He is adjusting the portfolios of his retired clients because the long term outlook for munis is bleak.

Glad to hear it is all a game to you though.

See, there is part of the game. Your financial advisor gets how much in commissions for moving the portfolios?

I will be willing to bet that this is rescinded from the budget on June 15th. I'll check back here then.

None.

You don't know as much as you think that you do.

I know enough to know that the Council voted to hold off on the tax. I am willing to bet that by the time September rolls around, this will be restored entirely.

Thanks for playing.

I never offered a prediction on what they would do, only what is right. As it stands I think it makes sense to give people a year to unload holdings without tax consequences.

You should rant less and read the postsyou are responding to.

Glad to see that you have been carrying this thread around in your head for so long.

Which means that the $13M the Council is counting on as revenues will never materialize.

This is why it is bad legislation.

Gee, now that the muni bond tax has been re-instated, is this the part where I should say "Thanks for playing"?

I just read through this whold damn thread (I was confused about how it didn't mesh with today's tax increase, but I didn't check the dates, my bad) . . . all because some grumpy douchebag wanted to say, "I told you so?" Jesus. You really held onto this for 5 months? You need a hobby.

The last post was two months ago. I didn't know that remembering things from July took actual effort.
