How Does the Gift Tax Work?
When my parents came to the United States, they would send money back home to our family back in Taiwan. When my grandparents fled to Taiwan, they would send money back to China. It’s a common immigrant tale and one repeated over and over again. When someone is able to get to the land of […]
SlowFI: Write Your Own Script; Early Retirement Might Still Be Someone Else’s
Today’s guest post is courtesy of Jessica of The Fioneers.
