Consumer prices rose 0.5% for the month, surpassing the 0.3% forecast, while year-over-year inflation increased to 3.0%, up from 2.9% in December.

Assuming you don't plan on going back into any consumer debt again I like your plan versus barely getting by.

I've litigated personal injury cases (plaintiff's side and ID), business disputes, commercial debt, consumer debt, fraud, civil rights, contested foreclosure, real estate disputes, and landlord-tenant cases.For the past year and a half, I have been spending most of my time digging into small business acquisitions.

I’m not arguing the necessity, or the fairness, or the justification of taxation, consumer protection, civil rights, etc, just stating the effect is distortion in the market.But, as I stated the taxation of a 0 - 20% rate on capital gains (ok 3.8% - 23.8%) is not only very low by the standards of the last 84 years, but also preferential to the marginal rates on earned income, investment income, and short term capital gains.
