Impact of GOP tax overhaul
Got my first paycheck with the new tax rates. Net take-home pay increased, and the difference isn't "pathetic crumbs". It's not going to change my life, it isn't going to pay for a beach house on Martha's Vineyard. But it will cover the monthly payments on the little camper I just bought.
Not life-changing. But a noticeable impact. Plus, my employer can keep a larger percentage of our income, therefore my job is a little more secure than it was before, layoffs will be a bit less likely. Good stuff, no? |
How dare you be happy about keeping more of your money, you selfish bastard

Proof, LBJ was right

Also, I didn't think the new withholding would even be in effect until next month. Jim probably got a little pay bump that took effect Jan 1 he's seeing.

I’ve been seeing around $50 more each week for 3 weeks now.

A lot of big companies had anticipated the tax overhaul correctly and made their adjustments ahead of time.

I work for Liberty Mutual now, we were told by HR that our pay would reflect the new rates. I hope everyone here fares even better than I did, and therefore has it just a tiny bit easier this year than they had it last year. |

My days of itemizing are coming to an end. 1 kid just finished college, the other has 1 year left. I'm getting to the tail end of my mortgage. Just the doubling of the Standard deduction helps me out.

UPS made $1.5 billion more in 2017 than the year before. Brown says it will cash in even more in 2018, predicting profits of up to $6.5 billion.
UPS stock prices are up by 20 percent over the last year. Package revenue is up to $65.9 billion. UPS Freight added another $3 billion in revenue, a 10% improvement. As icing on the cake, UPS is expected to cash in over $1 billion in corporate tax cuts. But at the negotiating table, UPS is trying to soak the 260,000 Teamsters at UPS and UPS Freight. The company is demanding givebacks, including a lower rate of pay for package drivers on residential routes, part-time package drivers for weekend deliveries, increased subcontracting, a reduction in guaranteed weekly hours for part-timers and many other concessions. I am not surprised |
The recent tax cuts have finally effected me. They are so awesome that my land lord has decided that it makes a lot of sense to sell his property and as a result of that, he’s making me move my glass studio. I’ve been here for 17 Years... over 1/3rd of my life.
