Agree. Almost all of our income is investment income. Tax treatment of investment income (LT capital gains tax rates) is so much better than W2 income except for the 3.8% Obamacare tax (Net Investment Income Tax). Salaries are for suckers.


Totally get it. Not everyone is capable of working hard enough and producing enough value that someone else would be willing to pay for their efforts. Some people are otherwise so useless that the only way they can generate income is by loaning to others and demanding interest, dividends, and gains in return.

Keep plugging away, PP, and maybe someday you’ll get there.


Well said!

It's human nature to compare and compete

Pick a lane, dear. Either you care about the meaning of words or you don’t.


Last I checked, liberals, even ones on the SCOTUS, can't define what a woman is. So I guess they don't care about the meaning of words. It must be a struggle.


And yet you don’t understand the meaning of “household income” or “net worth” - like I said, pick a lane, or admit you have a lot in common with those liberals you claim to hate.


What poster are you referring to? How do you know they don’t understand the meaning of HHI or NW? Be specific.


What thread do you think this is, dummy?

We only include our net, earned income – basically whatever gets deposited into our bank accounts twice per month from W-2 sources. I know a ton of people on DCUM like to inflate their HHI by referring to gross income or by including things like dividends, interest, and capital gains…but that’s not a game that DH and I need to play.


Interesting. Doesn’t work if the majority of your HHI is via RSUs.


RSUs get included in your W-2 income as they vest.


For tax purposes, yes. They aren’t added to your paycheck at vest. PP was saying they only count what’s in their W2 paycheck.


Yes, they are. FMV at vest is compensatory income, reflected on your W2 and taxed just like all other income. The FMV at vest is included on your W-2.
