Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays again. Today will just be a short post about “Keeping up with your Retirement Accounts”. Keeping up with your Retirement Accounts I’ve talked a bit about my own investment portfolio. Not much has changed, but it’s a good idea to try to keep up with any new changes to your accounts.

Hey everyone, it’s Whatever Wednesdays again. Today will be a short post about “Home Improvement”. Home Improvement Like I said before, when I bought this house, I knew I was going to need to some work on the lanai (deck) within the next 3-5 years. Well, it’s been 3 years and we’ve saved up some money so I’ve started to get some quotes to either renovate or replace the deck. Most likely, we will also […]

Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays again. Today will be a short post about “Hawaii State Income Tax“. For those who don’t know, I live in Hawaii. As of December 31, 2017, they increased the number of marginal tax brackets, putting the 9%, 10%, and 11% tax brackets back in for the 2018 tax year. Here they are: Taxpayers who file a joint return will pay: 9.00% on taxable income over $300,000, but not over $350,000 […]
