Tools for making it through four difficult years.
With the slashing of the Federal Parks budget, our parks will need all the help we can give. Donate time or money to help them out. Hopefully, in four years, we’ll be able to rebuild the National Parks Service.
At this point, we’d advise donating to organizations that support the parks, not directly to the parks (who knows the ways the Trump administration may find to divert that money).
It’s tax time now for 2024 tax year. When you file your taxes, calculate your overall federal tax rate.
President Trump certainly has plans to lower billionaires’ taxes, but he’ll likely lower taxes on all of us…if just to keep ‘the common person’ thinking he’s working for them.
Next year, when you calculate your federal taxes, if they’ve dropped significantly, pledge your ‘savings’ to your local or state government/schools. Our local governments will likely have a decrease in support from the federal government, so sending your ‘savings’ to them won’t cost you anything, but will support your local government institutions.
