Gonna figure out a way to be a 15%-er..

I paid 13% tax for 2014 - self-employed professional....many deductions and maxed tax advantage accounts.

High marginal tax bracket and not married/no kids.

Given the disappointing lack of porn at that site, I can't quite agree, but it is tremendously useful. Particularly if you frequently answer questions in the MMM forum's Investor Alley. I probably throw something at it a couple times a month.

To that end it would be even better if there were a 2015 version available now.  Yeah, I know that's nitpicking, because it really is a nice tool.  But one can wish....
