Two Cool Personal Finance Links

Just thought I’d give a little link love to a couple of personal finance posts that I though were especially interesting today.

First of all, at Blueprint for Financial Prosperity offers a handy comparative chart of John McCain v. Barack Obama in terms of who pays taxes (shown here in part):

Income McCain
Avg. Tax Bill
OBama
Avg. Tax Bill
Difference
(Obama – McCain)
$2.9M+ -$269,364 +$701,885 +$971,249
$227k – $603k -$7,871 +$12 +$7,883
$112k – $161k -$2,614 -$2,204 $410
$38k – $66k -$319 -$1,042 -$723
< $19k -$19 -$567 -$548
     
       
       
       
       
 

Bottom line? Most of us, from a strictly how-much-money-is-in-my-wallet standpoint, benefit from Obama’s plan. Also, Blueprint notes that McCain’s proposal increases the deficit by $4.5 trillion over the next 10 years, while Obama’s increases it by $3.3 trillion.

Quicken 2009 Beta

The other cool personal finance link is from Consumerism Commentary. The fact that Quicken 2009 is looking for Beta testers (Windows only) is pretty cool. Quicken is my personal finance software of choice, so I almost wish that I had Windows so that I could test drive the new version of Quicken.
