300k - more afraid of upcoming hyperinflation

How bad will the hyperinflation get?

1.5 years if I lived really frugally on $55k cash - 28 NYC

140k - 3 years. Have house debt, Mid 30s

Since I’ve paid way too much in taxes, correct - they’re reimbursements.

Have about $20k in cash, which should hold me over for about 10 months. 27 year old

Pls add age for context

33, I have $55K cash which can give me 1 year. If I’m out of a job more than 6 months, I would need to look at significant changes (probably look into a big paycut)

23, 20k so probably 8-12 months depending on frugality, live in Texas

25, 150k or so. Guessing it could last me 5 years

That’s a lot of cash unless you have a networth in excess of 500-700k

Unfortunately I am living paycheck to paycheck

Great time to reduce expenditures!

Hypothetically, if BBB was delayed and brought to the Senate floor next year (let's say February 2022) and passed, and the January 1st date for ending Roth conversions is left unchanged, what would happen to Americans who performed After-Tax 401k to Roth conversions in January? Would 401k custodians have to reverse the transactions and somehow factor in gains earned in users' Roth accounts since the conversion? Could there be penalties?
