Turns Out People Say They're Concerned About Privacy, But They're Not

Well, this shouldn't surprise very many people, but following on plenty of earlier studies that have made it clear that most people don't do much to protect their privacy, a new study out of the UK pretty much states the obvious: people say they're concerned about privacy, but they sure don't act that way. The study found 84% of users say they carefully guard their info online -- but when tested, 89% of people actually did give away info in the same exact survey. To be fair, the specific set of questions was first asking people if they carefully guard their income info, followed later by a question asking them what income bracket they fell into. It's reasonable to think that some folks believe that the bracket is not the same as giving away their actual income -- which is what the first question implied.

Home sales tax for foreigners

My parents just sold a U.S. property. My father is a foreigner but my mother is a U.S. citizen. They filed a FIRPTA (Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act income tax withholding) stating exactly that.

Later in the survey, the same group was asked to divulge their income data. Eighty-seven percent of them did so. Hello, cognitive dissonance!

The Roth 401(k) Estimator (401(k) Plans)

This retirement savings option, which first became available on January 1, 2006, combines features of both a traditional 401(k) plan and a Roth IRA. Like a Roth IRA, contributions are made on a post-tax basis and qualified withdrawals taken during retirement are completely tax free. (With a traditional 401(k), contributions are pretax and withdrawals taken during retirement are taxed as ordinary income.) And like a traditional 401(k), the Roth 401(k) has no income restrictions — if your employer offers it, you're eligible. (For more details, read our story, "Introducing the Roth 401(k).")
