    Just to clarify because some people are confused and they're saying that I did not mention "the standard deduction". This video is about how "tax brackets work", not about "how taxes work". The starting point for tax brackets is "taxable income" not gross/total income (total income minus deductions = taxable income). I will make a video about "how taxes work" in addition to this video about "how tax brackets work".

    2 years ago I started making $100k+ a year, and I gotta tell you it doesn't feel like I'm really "taking home" more than when I was making far less. I manage my money well, too. Of course I buy some more things, and I rent an apartment now, but holy hell it feels hopeless when I consider that if I didn't have my partner to also utilize their income to built wealth, I would probably never have a chance at fairly "early" retirement.

    Good breakdown. One other thing that people are often confused about is they think "taxable income" is the same as your income. However, your taxable income is after either your itemized deductions or standard deduction is subtracted. So effectively at least the first $12,500 of your income is taxed at 0% which means your effective tax rate is even lower.
