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

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

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.

6 year captain? You’d have been on pay band C. At line holder pay min guarantee, you should have JUST broken the $80k barrier and as a reserve pilot (if you bid to be… and if you lived in base, I’d have bid reserve last year) you’d definitely have broken $80k.

Did you have some unpaid leave? Drop some trips?


Of course I’m assuming this is in reference to breaking $80k at Envoy in the post above.
