It’s a 9% employee contribution and like 18% or so employer.
But I’ve also been dumping 10% up until I got to the max of yearly IRA contributions.

They got okay but were good quality. Found a tailor. Cost like $7 a shirt to get fitted. Took average looking shirts to custom looking shirts overnight.
Needed up taking every dress shirt I had to her to get fitted.

One day got a call from my own number. Pretty sure I wasn’t calling myself. Never answered it. Never had it happen again.

We have the main HQ on the east coast and another HQ on the west coast from a major acquisition a few years back.
I knew they had constantly said they had a commitment to work from anywhere, as they call it. Figured it would either be closing then office or asking people to come back.
Lease was up later this year, so they wanted to let the employees know they were closing down the office. Didn’t want people in the area seeing the available signs and thinking they were in trouble. And wanted to set up a way to get all the historical stuff out of the office and preserved.

First is a website where a user (likely a fundraiser at a small sized non profit) can upload a donor file with addresses and ages. For super small non profits without access to donor screening services, I just added an option to run the address through Zillows Zestimate API and add that data to their file. After that, or if they already have home values, they can run the file against the census median home values pulled from the data.gov API. It pulls in the median home value by zip code and adds it to the file but also compares the median to the actual and prioritizes by how far above the median the actual home value is. The third option is running the donor against the census median household income data. If the donors age is provided in the file it will return that age buckets income for the zip code. If no age is on the file it will use the overall median for the zip code. About to do the first demo of it next week for the president of the regional fundraising researcher chapter.
Other side is a wine/drink database. Input a barcode from a beer or wine and it will search that barcode in the total wine database to get the sku. Then it searches the sku to get the actual location in store (aisle and shelf), price, inventory for your local total wine. Setting it up to be able to keep try/buy/hate lists to keep track of stuff and know what the price is in case I’m out somewhere and see something I might want to try.
Is he running an actual website?
I came across the Oracle Free Tiger a couple months ago when I was looking around for a place to host a couple flask sites. I didn’t see a way to host completely free. Everything I saw said I’d have to pay for part of it. I think it was the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
