- Looks like: KD/Kyrie to Nets, DLo to warriors, Iggy to Memphis, Klay/Curry/Dray/Boogie stay.
- Amazon fresh is so awesome. Placed another full order in the morning, arrived about 10hrs later.
- Watched some Gordon Ramsey for the first time lol he’s hilarious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iM_KMYulI_s. The comments are gold too.
- BFR = blood flow restriction. It’s a physical therapy technique that’s gaining popularity.
- Blender busted. The buttons caved in and it would no longer turn on. Bought another $75 ninja.
- Received a notice for changes to my 2017 tax return.
- The penalty is ~20%. It also accrues compounding interest, starting with 5% in the year you filed incorrectly, and 6% the year after that.
- If you do not respond, you get a statutory notice of deficiency and interest/penalties increase.
- The changes are correct, and I paid them. There are first time abatement waivers for the penalties/interest, but you have a much likely higher chance of getting them if you have never gotten them before. If you receive a waiver, you are not eligible for the same one for the same rationale for 3 years, so I’m going to save it for next year just in case there were any mistakes in 2018’s return. I moved a lot more money around that year.
- So many frustrating aspects of the current system:
- SpaceX not allowing us 83i, even though the liquidity offered during these irregular buybacks is capped at a max that will never pay the tax burden incurred by AMT on a regular exercise schedule.
- Not having a foolproof automated process.
- Not have a well designed tax code in the first place.
- Knowing so many colleagues who cheat their way out of tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars in real tax, while the IRS spends effort targeting stuff like mine (this 2017 case was $5K) and they’re all scot-free.
- Not having tax education in middle/high school.
- Having a complicated enough system that needs education in the first place.
- Rich people taking advantage of these loopholes, directly creating quagmires like the AMT trap for middleclass people like me.
- My good, AMT as an entire concept. The tech world and regular equity have obsoleted the original foundation of this.
- It’s a wonderful practice in letting go of things I can’t control 🙁 Sure, it’s complete chaos, and it affects all citizens’ piggy banks intimately, but outside of my vote, I can’t change it. Money will never drive my satisfaction and peace of mind.
- Set a stop limit order for gtc sell on all my aapl shares – slowly clearing out my ally account so I only have securities in robinhood and solium. I need the little boost of liquid cash right now to handle the IRS bs.
