@KurtSupeCPA My parents would neverrrr

Couple comes in for their annual review. $2.8 million. Well invested. Solid Pension. Completely on track. I ask the question I ask everyone. "How is your daughter doing?" Mom's face changed first. Their daughter is 39. Hasn't asked for anything. Never complained. But she's been in the same apartment for six years. Daycare alone is $1,800 a month. Down payment feels impossible. Dad said "we always figured she'd get it eventually." I pulled up a simple chart. Statistically they live to 88. She inherits at 56. Maybe 60. At 60 her own retirement is eight years away. The money that could change everything at 39 arrives when her finish line is already close. Neither of them had ever seen it framed that way. The annual gift exclusion is $19,000 per parent per child. They can move $38,000 a year to her. No gift tax. No estate implications. Over ten years that's $380,000 transferred while they're healthy enough to watch it matter. Dad looked at his wife. "Why are we waiting?" Most families leave everything at death because nobody showed them the math of giving it while they're alive.

@txsalth2o @sgillern @SouthwestAir @gary_kelly @watterson_am Get ready for the mechanical delays. I tried to leave SW for AA and had 3 mechanicals in a row… and they lost one of our checked bags on the way from DFW to Orlando. Say what you will, but SWA has the most reliable operations. I fly 4x per month for work and need reliable ops

Dear @SouthwestAir @gary_kelly @watterson_am We've been in a very committed relationship for 20+ years, but you've changed, and it's time to break up. 2 Chase Southwest cards and 2 Companion Passes for 20 years. The points and passes used to make the lack of direct flights, with travel to take 40% longer than on other airlines, worth it, but those days have passed. Your itineraries with layovers in BNA, DAL, and BWI are pricier than direct flights on other carriers, your auto seat assignments are terrible, and with SWA's point inflation, the ROI isn't there. We’ve switched to new cards with a different airline—better direct/international options, lounge access, and my family still flies for free, even without companion passes, because I can get more flights with the points. My sister and her husband signed up for SW cards in Jan in anticipation of heavy travel this year. Last week she flew home from our father's funeral with her baby and 7-year-old. She booked a window & aisle hoping the middle would stay empty on a not-full flight (historically, you'd allow a lap child’s car seat in an open seat). Instead, your algorithm jammed a stranger in that middle seat, while whole rows sat empty. You'd rather cram people together than let families use open space unless they pay extra. I get the business logic: pay for the seat or don't get it. But that's not the Southwest of the last 30 years. She's done too. I'm aware you don't care that policy changes cost you 4 loyal customers and their children. The old Southwest would have cared; the new Southwest is just overpriced Spirit Air.

@BowTiedDingo Woah MEDDPICC

A SaaS AE in Chicago had 5 deals in commit. Q1 target: $800K.

@DChadwickAuthor Imagine making the argument that it’s good to go to bed when it’s light out and wake up in the dark

I underestimated people’s investment in being dark and miserable, it appears.

Quote of the day

@AndrewBragg5555 Nobody needs 9pm sunsets in the summer

WE ARE SO BACK! Daylight Savings Time is the greatest way to kick off campfire season Next 2.5 months are the absolute BEST time of the year Don’t waste a minute!

@ISU_Clone2020 Do you understand that the days are naturally longer in the summer due to the earth’s tilt? 8pm sunset is plenty late. Nobody needs sunlight at 9pm

@numeroustimes Absolutely nobody wants that. All I ever hear is people complaining about the dark when we switch back to standard time in November. Only shut-ins like standard time

It’s time to adopt permanent Daylight Saving Time nationwide and eliminate these stupid fake biannual time shifts. What does it even do?

@S_U_Network True

True or False: Daylight Saving Time should be ended.

@PstrAThomas @WilliamWolfe You already get that. The days are naturally longer in the summer due to the earths tilt. Nobody needs sunlight at 9pm in July

@WilliamWolfe YES!!! I want DST all year round permanently ... And let's call it "Standard Time" from this point forward, forever. When I get off of work, I like that there is more daylight to do other things outside, etc.

Explaining Daylight Savings Time to the kids like: “Well, the Time Goblins come and steal an hour off our clocks while we sleep but the Sun Elves grant us more light at the end of the day. Not the best system in the world, but it seems to work.”

@ContentBySteph @SMB_Attorney No we want to abolish daylight saving time and keep standard time year round

@SMB_Attorney Thank you for saying it correctly. It's funny when I read about people wanting to "abolish daylight saving time." Actually, what you want is the opposite of what you're saying.

@AConcernedPare2 Nobody needs 9pm sunlight in the summer. Idiots are confusing DST with the tilt of the earth

Friendly reminder that most Americans want to keep DST all year. ☀️

@thecavedaddy That’s standard time in the summer bub

@numeroustimes Nobody is talking about sunlight at 9pm. We’re talking about an 8pm sunset

Some of us folks with children actually enjoy having an extra hour of daytime

@SenTuberville Nobody needs sunlight at 9pm

After months of short days and long nights, Daylight Saving Time is finally here. Changing our clocks twice a year is an outdated, burdensome practice. It’s past time we LOCK THE CLOCK and make DST permanent YEAR–ROUND.

@Trekkie0805 @SenRogerNiello @SaveStandard Nobody needs it to be light out at 9pm.

@SenRogerNiello @SaveStandard Standard time is retarded. DST allows us to have more daylight when we are actually active.

It’s time to switch to Daylight Saving Time & many of us are dreading it. I introduced Senate Bill 1197 to make standard time permanent. It’s better for our health & aligns with our body’s natural clock, something medical groups overwhelmingly support. 1/3 @SaveStandard

Is this @JDShuttlesworth wife? Never mind that’s @BonaFideAdalis. Can’t tell them apart. Equally bad theology

@texasrunnerDFW Amen

I would rather it be light out at 6:30 am than 7:30 pm Standard Time is better

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but I hate the I can’t turn dark mode on my Twitter anymore. Please put it back @elonmusk @nikitabier

@theficouple Mofo doesn’t even list down payment

How much home can you "afford": - Income of $5,000/mo = $180,000 house - Income of $8,000/mo = $288,000 house - Income of $10,000/mo = $360,000 house - Income of $12,000/mo = $432,000 house - Income of $15,000/mo = $540,000 house ...Do these numbers surprise you?
