[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]why would he NOT ask her to do this? as the primary breadwinner, i'm exhausted and stressed all the time. op i'm sure you're happy bc you have a low stress life and part time job subsidized by someone else's labor. it's COMPLETELY fair enough that you shoulder some of the burden for a while.

She gave birth to their kids and does the primary caretaking. That alone would cost him 200k+ if not for her. Get real. [/quote]

in what world would the primary caretaking of a single 10 year old child cost someone $200k a year?
pls give me the job of that nanny.[/quote]

She’s taxed at the highest rate, so more than 50%. That gets her down to $95k net. To hire someone to drive the kids to sports and appointments will be at least 1/2 of that. [/quote]

You should go back in time and slap whoever explained how taxes work to you!

DP but I do wonder what you mean. It’s reasonable to assign OP’s earnings to their top bracket. Any additional dollar certainly will be taxed from that bracket and that bracket alone. [/quote]

NP. There is no 50% tax bracket despite that fact that high earners like to complain that there is. [/quote]

Correct, the highest is 37%, and that's only on earnings over 693,750.  Everything below that amount is taxed less.  So OP's entire tax rate is less than 37%[/quote]

Sigh. Given what OP's husband makes, every penny OP earns is being taxed at 37%. That's federal. Presumably they also pay state taxes. Add at least 6% on to that and that's 43%. Saying 50% isn't as crazy as you make it sound. [/quote]

But it's a 13% exaggeration.  Of course it's crazy.  If you want to pretend you know what you are talking about, then use legit numbers. [/quote]

Did you fail first grade math? 37% federal plus whatever their state tax rate is. I'm not going to bother looking it up for you but let's say it's 6% (and that's on the low side when you're considering all things). 37+6=43. So no, it's not a 13% swing, it's  7% swing, and it might be less. If you want to pretend you know what you are talking about, then use legit math. [/quote]
