've got a quick question for you: I was contacted by a recruiter to take a Director position at a competitor, which will be a big step up for me in money and responsibility. It just seems like the right step. The starting salary is $90K. My question is will I still be able to make a deductible IRA contribution to my IRA with you? And regardless, can I even make one at all? You know I hate paying taxes.

John Barton is both excited and amazed. Excited because on graduating from college one year ago at age 22, he landed a good job with a crypto currency exchange and he is enjoying the work. His company has good benefits and has just given him a raise so that in his next (2nd) year of employment he will be earning $55,000 per year. He is amazed because even with this raise, he feels that money is just as scarce as it was when he was a student. The paycheck comes and before he knows it, it is gone again. Certainly, he has many more “things” than he did before: a nice new car, an attractive apartment with some real furniture, and a wide screen television. Nonetheless, he is still concerned that he has little in savings to handle emergencies (becoming ill, terminated from his job) or life changing events like getting married. John feels that it is time to “get his finances in order” as his father is always saying. He intends to determine his personal Net Worth and to understand where his…
You are given $50,000 to invest (not pay bills). How do you invest the money? Explain why this is a good investment(s) and how it would benefit one's financial goals.
Suppose that your parents are willing to lend you $20,000 for part of the cost of your college education and living expenses. They want you to repay them the $20,000, without any interest, in a lump sum 15 years after you graduate, when they plan to retire and move. Meanwhile, you will be busy repaying federally guaranteed loans for the first 10 years after graduation. But you realize that you won’t be able to repay the lump sum without saving up. So you decide that you will put aside money in an interest-bearing account every month for the five years before the payment is due. You feel comfortable with putting aside $275 a month (the amount of the payment on your college loans, which will be paid off after 10 years). How high an annual nominal interest rate on savings do you need to accumulate the $20,000 in 60 months, if interest is compounded monthly? Enter into a spreadsheet the values d 5 275, r 5 0.05 (annual rate), and n 5 60, and the savings formula with r replaced by r/12 (the…
Juan’s company said that company employees could put up to 15% of their salary into a 401(k) plan. The company would match it dollar for dollar. Juan made $80,000 and he and his wife were in the 33% tax bracket. The investment earned 8% a year. Jesse decided to save 15% on his own by putting the money in the bank every month at 2% interest. After five years, how much did Juan have? How much did Jesse have? Be sure to consider income tax in your calculations.

let's consider a 30-year-old man living in London. His annual income is £35,000 and he pays a total of £27,000 in tax to the government. The government spends £7,600 on national defense and another £5,700 on policing. If he lives just ten more years, his annual income will be £42,000. So, the government will also take more taxes. It will spend £7,600 on national defense, another £5,700 on policing, and £10,500 on health care. How much will the citizen have to pay?please compute and show how to compute
