Has anyone recently put ‘exempt’ in W-4 to avoid paying federal for one or two checks? About to receive last large check for the gig. Nothing else booked yet, so thinking about stashing as much as I can. Paid through the nose in fed taxes all year. Thoughts?

So, a possible Blue Wave in November with some promises to reverse the 2018 tax cuts and maybe introduce at-death realization of capital gains - should mean a hectic November-January, right?

(Then again, I've been wrong before. Last time it was "So, a global pandemic that preys on the elderly, many of whom have a bunch of unused gift and GST exemption lying around since 2018 - probably a busy time for estate planning?" Was underwhelmed. )

What are your a la carte pricing for estate plan documents?

When, if ever, do you add “Esq.” to your name outside of work?

I’m currently in a minor dispute with a company over a credit card overcharge and am wondering if I should have added “Esq.” to my signature in my complaint email lol.

I’m originally from Brazil and most of my investments are allocated there.

Brazilian fixed income products are paying 13.25% returns and I’m wondering if it’s a good idea to secure this return in Brazil or if now it’s a good time to build a portfolio with US equities?

(90% of my money is on my Brazilian portfolio)

Need advice. Have some credit card debt that I’ve been working to pay off. Have made progress but want to lower it quickly. We have dual income, with a house (~$300k in equity), 1 kid and 1 on the way. I’ve looked into debt consolidation via HELOC but also have ~$80k in vested equity in my company that I haven’t touched. Get equity refreshes every year. Would it be smarter to cash out $15k-$20k of that to pay debt vs. a HELOC at ~5% given that will still require mthly payments

Anyone know much about the start up scene in E Africa? I hear a lot of general talk about how it’s ‘booming’ but can’t find much information online. I’m in a weird position where I’m trying to switch into tech but am moving to Kampala for the next year. I am applying now to remote jobs in the U.S. but would love to connect with companies operating in the region.

Has anyone who's worked in HR, Finance, or another role with visibility to compensation information been able to use that as leverage for salary negotiations?

To put it bluntly, I know certain people with less experience and a lower performance rating are getting paid more than me due to my role working with payroll data. I suspect this was due to the fact that I did not counter offer when I accepted this role, which was a few months ago, and now I regret it.

what does it mean when an org calls you to tell you the decision on a role you want will be given soon, but then you notice they took the job posting down?

Checking to see if there are any wine & spirits label designers here. I have a call with a mom/pop restaurant tomorrow who want a redesign of one of their vodka labels. They have not supplied any hi res art yet & from what I’m assuming they will not be looking to spend big bucks. Im trying to get a sense of pricing for the front & back label. Thanks for your feedback!

Could someone recommend a good accountant

After 5 years of freelancing (which I have loved) I am considering a full-time gig. Although COVID is in the back of my mind, this is more about what I’ve been lacking since FL: consistent team, seeing an idea all the way through, challenging myself to grow, being exposed to latest tech trends to better my ideas... I know I can always go back to FL if FT doesn’t work out, but curious where others’ heads are at these days. Am I crazy to consider going back to the golden shackles?

Helping a friend who is looking for freelance deck designers (keynote and ppt), who can handle working with picky/hi-end creative leads. Thanks!

Just got word that I didn’t get a gig I was excited about for 48 hours. Freelancing is like a drug. High from the email asking your availability. Low if it doesn’t go through.

At my current freelance gig, they hold 47% of my gross paychecks for taxes. Is this normal or way too much?

The company I freelance for let’s us buy health insurance. I get to pay $18,276 + $5,000 in deductible before I see $0.01 of healthcare benefits (and then only 70%)...

Anyone know of a good directory of high quality, design-focused printers (in the US)? Seems most agencies/designers don’t shout out their print vendor in the credits.
