A friend once asked me if she should refuse her bonus because it bumped her to a higher tax bracket and she'd end up making less. Well, friends, never refuse your bonus (or even think about it). Taxes are marginal.

Tax. Tax. Tax. There are a few types. What are they? What's the difference?

None of us really like paying taxes. While we can't escape paying taxes, there are somethings that you can do to pay less.
