If you're a doomsdayer, then it's VIX

you will only be assessed (fairly moderate) penalties and fees if your tax payments were
1) less than owed, AND
2) less than you paid last year

in the situation of a significant windfall bonus, you could reduce withholding for the rest of the calendar year and pay in April.

yeah for the flow payments, you could. I took the post I responded to as someone doing this to their whole income

Same result. It's 0.5% per month for the amount you've underpaid. https://www.investopedia.com/avoid-a...enalty-4582634
Not advising anyone do this though. The point is that If you invest a little every paycheck and cut it really close on your withholding, then it's not the end of the world if you come up a little short at the end of the year... as long as you didn't lose it all on weekly YOLO GME OTM calls

It's average performance from the 20s to 2019 was around 10% per year (higher lately, but so is inflation). $8,000 invested in 1980 would be almost $800k today. Regardless, the specific value of projected gains wasn't the point

To people asking what SPY is, it's the S&P 500: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o..._500_companies

VOO is cheaper. YMMV.

Envoy captains don't clear 80 on min guarantee either

Rising tides and all that...

VOO only tracks the S&P 500. VTSAX or VTI claim to track the “Total stock market”. Index fund and equivalent ETF

I didn’t clear $80k as a 6yr captain last year. :(
