For those of us who think that USPS is loosing money - this is a nice article on how the USPS has been artificially made to bleed. This article lacks the other part on how this has resulted in money making contracts for both republicans and democrats stalwarts including those who have personally or whose spouses have directly benefited from these contracts. And now this “artificial loss” is being used to justify slow down and disenfranchising people ...

Hi Fishes,
Need help with a tax query.

I am earning 85k/month now. Thinking to purchase a land of around 15L, not just for investment but to build our own house on it in future.

Though I can somehow manage it without taking a land loan. But I was wondering if I can take some to avail tax benefits.

So my doubts are - Can I avail tax benefits (like home loan) before construction? If I take the loan just to enjoy tax benefits then how much loan should I take at most? Have only ~68k EPF in 80C

Does the IRS allow LIFO/Specific ID tax lot methods for selling crypto? And if so, do I somehow need to specify my choice of method at the time of sale, or just down the road when filing taxes? I use CB Pro and don’t see any settings for selecting methods like in my traditional brokerage account.

I feel like I've been living under a rock for ~5 yrs. I was happy and blowing off money with the thinking that I'll start saving once I start earning more.

Just realised that could've started early. I'm in mid 20s and thinking about investment. Tried watching YouTube videos. But I have pretty basic questions :
1. Where do I even start?
2. What %age of income should I invest?

I hope I'm not late.
