another tax grab disguised as 'helpful advice' 🙄 just let us enjoy our retirement without filling out more forms

worked in finance 30 years, seen so many retirees get stung by this. read the fine print people, it's not that hard

Alex Rivera2026-07-17T19:47:59.000Z

can someone just explain in plain English? these articles always assume I know what PIR stands for

Drew Parker2026-07-17T20:01:59.000Z

prescribed investor rate, and yeah it's not that simple when u have multiple income streams

ffs here we go again, IRD changing rules to catch out oldies. my dad got a $2k bill last year over this crap

Ella Thompson2026-07-17T20:45:59.000Z

same with my uncle, IRD doesn't care they just want the money

Hana Stewart2026-07-17T20:35:59.000Z

yeah nah it's still our job to understand. ignorance isn't an excuse sorry

as a student this is terrifying, how am I supposed to save for retirement when the rules change every year
