I looked up the 1940 census. In 1940 an accountant from Met Life lived in my house with a live in maid plus Mom, Dad, and two kids. I don’t know if they went CPA back then but it was cool to discover.

Tulsa OK - Midtown area. Lots of old oil money was flowing around that time so lots of cool neighborhoods. But this also means you have to live in Oklahoma and I don't recommend for many different reasons

My partner and I are in the process of buying a PHEV that qualifies for the full non-refundable federal tax credit. We will both owe taxes in excess of the current $7,500 cap (will see if that increases with the new budget bill). If we both own the car (i.e. both names on the title), how do we manage filing for the tax credit when filing separately? Do we just pick one of us to file? Is there guidance on splitting the credit across owners? Does it matter what order our names are on the title?

Currently working on a three person team in a larger GC group. I lateraled from a different group that did not pay attorneys on an attorney scale. I’m stuck in my old pay scale but have gotten promotions and raises quickly with more on the horizon. A recruiter reached out with a new role for 2-2.5x more than I currently make doing something similar. I love my company and the people I work with but the money isn’t there. Is it worth trying to get a counter to stay if I get the bigger offer?
