Re: 28% tax on my total income of 2010
Thanks. You once said if our pretax income doubles from 100k to 200k, our after-tax income increase by 20k? I feel that's unlikely.
The first 100k is probably taxed at 20%, for any rich or poor family.
The next 100k is probably taxed at around 50%. Not at 80%.
By the way, now I know how much a new Masters' graduate from a good university can earn as a developer.
* morgan stanley pays about 75k base
* microsoft pays about 85k base
* google pays about 90k base
* amazon pays about 100k base
If you worked a few years before coming to the US for masters, that experience basically is worth $0.

An Apartment is usually a one-story unit, like a pigeonhole.
A townhouse is a multi-storey unit in a long house, where you share at least one wall with another unit.
