It's a feat of delicious fatty goodness. I've only had 1 and it was earlier this year.
We'll have to make the trip down soon then.

That's the thing. People don't put in much, so they want to get rid of the large deduction in taxable income. It's sort of a catch-22. They want you to be off of government assistance and have no safety net, but yet they take away something that allows people to actually be responsible with their money and saving for retirement.
I mean. In the scheme of things, it basically the government deciding that it wants it's money now and not in X number of years when you start collecting the retirement.

And it's not preventing you from actually contributing more, you just don't get the tax benefits.

Thoughts on Planet Fitness for noobs? I'd legit just be doing cardio for a while.

This may not happen, but the White House is reportedly backing this now too. Never say never.
What is the reasoning for making it lower?

Guv'ment getting it's money now versus later I'd imagine. You get to defer less tax liability.

The people that can afford to put 18 grand in their 401k probably have plenty of other taxable income for the guv to get their due.

I imagine they are looking more at the people that would be contributing 5 or 6K. Guessing it adds up to a fairly significant amount.

They don't really give reasons. I imagine it is to collect the money in taxes now since they are reducing the corporate tax rate to 20%. 401k reducing taxable income is quite nice.

On another note, saw a car hit & run a guy on a scooter. Got it on dashcam, went to report it to local Sheriff's office but the guy on scooter was so sketched out about the situation that he just drove off. I got license plates and my friend with a dealership license was able to pull up the car's make/model/title # and CarFax history.

Sheriff's office said that since dudebro didn't call at the moment to report an accident they can't use my footage, even though they were impressed with the amount of information we had on the matter.

Now I'm getting some logistics out of the way, and then going to hang out with the GF when she gets off work. I started watching Mindhunter on Netflix at a friend's recommendation and it is 5/7. Will begin to watch it with GF.
