Hi All,

Someone over at CNBC did a smart job crunching census data to see which states would take the hit when the White House’s fiscal 2010 increases on individuals making more than $200k comes due. In order from highest to lowest, the top five states are:

1) The District of Colombia
2) Connecticut
3) New Jersey
4) Maryland
5) Massachusetts

Of course, 2010 is a long way off. Its entirely likely that the final tax increases will look nothing like what the White House has proposed, so we’ll see what happens. If you want more details, the CNBC story is here. Perhaps most of us aren’t making that kind of cash to be affected, but is it fair that people earning more have to lose more of their wealth to taxes?
Best,

James

MANAGE YOUR MONEY TOGETHER

Here are some simple guidelines for DINKS to build wealth:

1) Collaborate: Meet regularly to talk about money, set goals together, track and monitor them.

3) Watch the numbers. Get a budget, monitor your spending and track your net worth.

4) Max your retirement. Maximize contributions to your tax deferred retirement accounts.

5) Invest in stock. Stocks perform better than bonds or cash.
