Like others have said, you can go and have a chat with the IRS about a payment plan. Now having said that, you have a whole lot of other issues going on that a long-time lurker would have avoided. First off, I'd lay off using credit cards for a while, pay it off, and try and get your finances under control.

I will have someone up my ass in the right lane for miles while I’m going 60-70 when the left lane is completely open for them. Or if I go into the left lane to pass (only time I use that lane) car in the right lane will speed up like crazy preventing me to pass then when I finally get back in front, they continue to drive the usual crazy slow speed like before.

Reply to AI investment by Svitii

Leading today doesn't mean that they'll lead in the future. 3dfx and ATI were top dogs for graphics in the 1990s. They both got acquired. Digital Research was an early OS competitor to Microsoft, until CP/M got taken out by PC-DOS/MS-DOS.

I think that a total market index will be sufficient to invest in, because whatever tomorrow's large corporations are, they'll be the ones benefitting from AI. That said, if you want to take a flier, using 5-10% of your net worth (maybe up to 30% if you're under 25) to speculate in individual stocks and/or AI-focused ETFs wouldn't be awful.

It's stupid, outdated, and misogynistic and I don't agree with it, but the reason is that teaching was seen as women's work, and they made the pay low as a barrier to entry for unmarried women. It's not meant to be the job of a breadwinner, the teacher is supposed to have a husband with a job that pays the bills so her income is extra. Wouldn't want those unmarried harlots living independently or teaching our precious children to have loose morals.
