Just last month, DJI was at all time high. In a matter of weeks, it has fallen like 20%~ since the last peak. My portfolio is down 18%. Nothing surprising given that almost all market went into freefall. I haven't sold anything yet, and don't intend to. But i have been nibbling a few stocks, …

How much income tax to pay?
I recently came across a tweet that shows how much tax a person actually pay for a $100,000 income in the US. I thought the illustration was really easy to understand.
