    I know people who still repeat the line that earning more money will push them into a higher tax bracket and they’d end up with less money than if they stayed at their current income.

      Isn’t this possible? Tax brackets for 2024 I thought for single filer is 24% below 191k and 32% over 191k, isn’t it?

      Oh man don’t even get me started on that one too. I knew some people that genuinely thought a bonus would make them earn less overall.

        If i was a manager and someone turned down a raise/bonus because “tax” reasons, i would seriously evaluate my own managerial skills…

        Like, how did i not notice this person is a complete moron and why did i offer them a raise?
