Business | 7 ways to use your tax refund to fight inflation Business | Jill On Money: Two big tax prep questions Business | Travel rewards programs shouldn’t be so annoying to use Answer: The first step of a backdoor Roth is a contribution into a non-deductible traditional IRA. Because it is not deductible, there is no income limit. The second step is to convert the non-deductible IRA into a Roth IRA, which can be done almost immediately.

A significant winner in California’s real estate chill is the renter.The post-pandemic return to normalcy that’s decelerated California housing markets is forcing landlords statewide to compete for tenants. Meanwhile, renters are seeing the most available units in nearly two years.Consider what my trusty spreadsheet found within ApartmentList’s March report on California rents.The statewide vacancy rate rose to 5.2% in March, the highest level since April 2021 and a noteworthy jump from the 3.6% pandemic-era low in September-November 2021.Those extra options are a key reason why March’s overall statewide rent fell to $1,930 a month, down 3.5% (or $70) from August 2022’s peak.

The fear of catching COVID-19 in crowded living arrangements has dropped. The r...
