Please share the spreadsheet

^ why living in California is terrible in some ways

Even worse. There is a cap on SALT of $10K

Acorn

12/15/18 12:20pm

Yep. And even with that it's still impossible for me to use Acorn's idea.

I remember those days when I lived in California. Interest rates were 10 1/2%

Acorn

Yes I would be interested in your spreadsheet also.

I'm running some calculations and it looks like I can save a couple hundred

Actually, I'm missing the sales tax deduction, so it doesn't make sense

How many people who fall into your scenario have the money sitting around to pay

Chester Copperpot

This is CB, everyone has tons of money

Here is how you get around that. Keep all of this years money in a separate

12/15/18 12:26pm

That is exactly what just said, but you can't got back for 2018 if you haven't

An alternative to that. This year you pay your tithing like normal

Anyone with a two month emergency fund

Acorn

Maybe, but most people live paycheck to paycheck and right now at Christmas most

Chester Copperpot

Just because you miss this year, start planning for the future.

Acorn

12/15/18 12:34pm

It is a good strategy and I agree with everything you are saying. I have found

I have enough itemized deductions, but it is still better to double pay.

Acorn

12/15/18 12:40pm

That is what I meant. Many have $10,000 in SALT and Property taxes plus

Chester Copperpot

I love the financial tips. Thanks!

This is a practice called "bunching." If you plan to make significant charitable

12/15/18 1:25pm

The donor advised fund is a little more context than just bunching. But yeah,
