Description
One of the benefits that $200/mo. Patrons of Radical Personal Finance get is being able to choose a topic of the show.
Here's the note that prompted today's episode:
Joshua,
Double income medium- to high-earning couples frequently ask me how to lower their taxes (the second income is at a higher rate of >28%, plus state 3.75% and social security 7.65 or 40% all in). I don't have a lot to tell them:-calculate whether it's worth it for second spouse to work ('Money or Your Life' style-after tax/child care/gas income per hour of total time spent at job (commuting and working)-weigh the qualitative factors-max 401k-invest in real estate
I'm assuming I'm missing things. What do you have to say on the subject?
One reason my wife doesn't work is that its not worth it.
Thanks,
Patron
