Reply to Does my 2023 Savings Goals make sense? HSA is where I’m struggling the most to solve by kepachodude
Your goals look great. I would just do $300/month for the HSA to make sure you don't over contribute and get in trouble, especially if you're a lump sum and forget about it type.
I 100% agree with getting your Roth contribution done ASAP. The market is garbage right now. Might as well get in while the getting is good.

Reply to Taking a career break in 2023- what are some tax savings opportunities to take advantage of? by hackintosh_dude
Solar credits are not income-limited. At all.
You might be able to use your low income year to qualify for low income green incentives, however. This would probably be something for 2024 when you can document your low income with your 2023 tax returns. There are state programs available (I'm getting nearly $13k off of my solar project). By the time you can use it, the High Efficiency Electric Home Rebate program should be up and running.
Other stuff you'll qualify for include the full child tax credit, but you don't have to do anything special to get this.

Reply to (FL) Advice Needed With Solar Panel Tax Credit For Solar Panels Installed and Paid for in 2022…But Not Turned on Until 2023? by Practical-Mud-1
I'm in the exact same boat, and I plan to take the tax credit in 2022. The rules specifically say they have to be installed. They do not specify that they must be "placed in service."
FYI - I am a tax professional, and I don't feel like this is a high-risk position.

Reply to Best place to put 'invested' cash? CDs, high-yield savings, t-bills/bonds? Where have you found the best rates? by aav_2202
If you don't need the cash for a long time, an I-bond is still a good option. Other than that, I recommend HYSA. Mine are up to 3.5%.

- talk to your landlord and see if you can work something out, 2) get divorced (you have no assets, so the paperwork should be relatively easy), 3) get a better job.
