This still amazed me. The IRS reported a $688 BILLION shortfall in taxes owed but not paid last year (the net tax gap). That's one year alone.

That alone would more than pay for Biden's student loan forgiveness plan ($559B).

Wow 😳

Yeah… I mean that’s not a real number. The IRS can say whatever they want and often do. Then they lose in court. 😂

Think of it like a giant financial puzzle, missing a massive piece. We have all these plans and programs, but without that missing piece, nothing fits together quite right.

Hi all, I am trying to DCA bi-weekly into Vanguard ETFs, (VO, VTI etc). It seems like Fidelity does not support auto buying of non-Fidelity ETFs. So I was wondering which of these options you think is best?

1. Open a Vanguard Invest account
2. Look for Fidelity ETFs that are similar to Vanguard ETFs
3. Use smaller brokerages like SoFi l, Robinhood etc.

I really do not want to manage nor be active. My goal is to log-in like once every 6 months.

Thank you all.
