Just got a call from my nephew and spent 20 minutes talking with him about swords, specifically which sword he should make a realistically sized Lego replica of.

Not gonna lie, that's far more of a highlight than anything I'll do at work today!

I spend a lot of money on legos. I’m trying to figure out how to use my HSA card to pay for it, because it’s a medical expense (mental health).

What sword did you recommend? Hopefully the Sakai Katana.

Well, he's on a LOTR binge right now, so going with that theme I recommended a longsword replica of Andúril

Not specific to swords, but anytime I have to give a birthday gift to my little cousins (4-10 yrs old) I go straight to the Lego store.

Their generation is stuck in their digital devices (I mean so are we lol) but Legos is something that gets them off their iPads and encourages critical thinking and creativity.

Can anyone of you please help in calculating how much will be my income tax per month(I am availing the Old tax regime)? Different IT calculators show different figures, not sure which is correct :(

And as for the interest amount in the Savings Account and Fixed Deposits, do both fall under "Income from Interest"? Or under "Other Income"? Or does Interest amount in Savings account fall under "Interest from Deposits - 80TTA"?

The figures are given in the screenshot 👇🏻

Hey! My company is giving me a new title (previously: Senior PMM, new: Global Lead of product marketing). The roles are very similar with no material change of responsibilities. it’s the result of a re-org. Also, I’ve been deemed a high performer and approaching my 1 yr review.

In any case, as I’m waiting on the official letter, they have been very vague that they’re will be a compensation increase. In fact, this hasn’t been presented as a promotion. How would you approach this conversation?
