    NO.

    And the no tax on SS is so much BS. We'll get a 4K deduction IF we make less than XXX$$$.

    What I read was just a proposal by Trump
    • President Trump's proposal: There have been discussions about potentially eliminating federal income tax for individuals earning under $150,000, but this proposal hasn't been enacted into law.

    Cash truly is king.
    I was poking around on ebay and found regular US currency like 30 year old $100 bills selling for 20% to 30% over face value and if they were say over 50 years old they were selling for 50% above face value.
    Why? I don't know and I don't care.
    So if you get like a 1980s or 1990s bill, maybe hold on to it.
    I got paid for a water heater job by an old guy that had all early 90s series bills.
    I'm going to see if I can flip them for 10 to 20% over face value at a upcoming coin show.

    I sold all but one of my $2 bills a few years ago for $5 each to a collector. Paper currency without the strip in it is collectible for some reason.

    Maybe that is the reason that my Confederate currency has apricated so much since I bought it 40 years ago, same with that Confederate war-bond. Just wish I had more.
