Just to make a long story short: I have had a life insurance policy since I was 22. I put in $1200/year. I am now 26. I was talked into getting this policy from someone who I respected but does not now, knowing they did not have my best interests in mind. I do not need life insurance at this moment, although I know there will be a need further down the line when I might have a greater chance of being uninsureable and the premiums will be higher. However, I am rated as preferred so I dont know if that will hold true. Should I surrender this policy? If I do I will have a check for $1331- basically I would lose out in $3469- BUT it might be better to lose that money now than to keep contributing $1200/year while the cash value grows very SLOW and my death benefit is only $176,000 anyways, which is NOT enough anyways... Any advice would be helpful. If I do surrender the policy I plan on opening a ROTH IRA and funding it with $200/month- the 100 from the ins. and 100 more of my money.

The details:
I am going to have a fairly large capital gains this year. I understand that if I am in the 15% or lower tax bracket, then my capital gains will be taxed at 5%. If I am above 15%, then my capital gains will be taxed at 15%. (I've held it for more than 1 year)

Therefore, If I can get into the 15% tax bracket, I will save 10% on my capital gains taxes. Let's say the capital gains was $200K, and my adjusted gross income looks like it will be $9K over the 15% tax bracket cutoff for my non-captial gains tax income. Therefore, if I could get in the 15% tax bracket I would save 20K on my captial gains taxes because it would only be taxed at 5%. So if I donated $9K to charity and it put me in the 15% tax bracket, I would still be $11K ahead.

However, is this possible? From looking at the IRS website and last year's Turbo Tax, it is not clear to me if charitable giving can actually put me in a lower tax bracket.

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.

I am an Accounting-Finance double major with an international emphasis and plan on getting my CPA. I love working with numbers and figuring out problems, but lately Real Estate has especially interested me. What types of careers could combine all of these aspects? I also especially love traveling/living abroad (I am in Germany right now), so International opportunities and a decent salary are a bonus :)

My wife and I are looking to buy a restaurant. Will we be responsible for the employees' unemployment benefits if we terminate them? There are entirely too many people working there right now, and we figure the only fair way to reduce staff numbers is to terminate everyone and start fresh. All current employees would be welcome to apply for open positions, and will be given higher consderation.
