Have you ever considered paying your taxes with a credit card? I’ve heard that with opening up a new card it might be worthwhile to do this but I can also see how it could be dangerous if you do not have the funds to pay? Would this be something that you would be open to doing or is this a mistake waiting to happen?

IRS uses a third party website for tax payments, so they take pretty much anything

IRS allows it.

There is a fee associated with credit cards. So unless I have no funds to pay taxes , I would not pay extra 2% to the government. I don’t know why you think paying 2% extra fee is worthwhile

Or maybe they can fix more roads with the money...

Worth it if you need the amount to hit a spending threshold for a sign-up bonus. Otherwise no.

How about cards that give 2% back though?

I have used it. Credit card was offering 3% cash back and 0% APR for 12 months, so any IRS fees were offset.

like

Would you do it again though?

Did last year and got one more year of top airline status because of the spend. CPA was able to avoid credit card fees - same concept as paying rent on Bilt? No idea on specifics but worth exploring. In my case - totally worth it.

Any idea on how they did it?

I've never considered doing it, but it isn't a bad idea. I would only do it if I had the funds to pay it off. I wouldn't want to destroy my credit not being able to pay it off.

The Way to a Higher Salary? Leave.

If I had stayed in the role I was in originally and grown with it, I’d be making maybe $120k, best case. I also wouldn’t have broken 6-figures in under 4 years by waiting.

The biggest lie that companies tell you is you can grow in a firm, both professionally and financially. The only ones that grow are already the people a) getting the promotions, or b) on the sales side.

If neither applies to you, the fastest way to achieve salary growth is to leave.
