My wife just got a new job and I’m confused about how much we are actually going to make after taxes. She was making $65k and is now going to be making 80k a year. We file jointly and when I look at calculators online it seems to look like we’re only going to be making $600 more a month? Is that right? Am I really just now learning how painful taxes can be or am I just looking at it wrong? *Edit: were in Michigan submitted by /u/GlonkyGl…

Opened an HSA, then realized several months later I’m not actually eligible for an HSA In July of last year, I moved away from my parents, and I recently started a new job in January of this year.

I miss actually unusual travel destination advice. When I went backpacking around Europe, the UK, and Ireland ~20 years ago, I had a standard guidebook and a ‘Weird Europe’ guidebook that I felt helped me find some balance between touristy and more ‘specialized interest’ destinations that at least gave me something to discuss with the locals in various hubs, if nothing else.
