60. Wait until you start Christmas shopping to find out a ton of stuff is tariffed

heavily. Buying on line, using eBay, Etsy, even Amazon for those cute gifts, grandpa's new Irish sweater, its goes on.

I've have to cancel a number of things because with shipping NY State sales tax of 8.25, and then the Donald Tax. When you add the items up the price is absolutely crazy. Some places won't even ship to the US, they will tell you.

Warnings are now appearing to remind people that carriers will be looking to collect Trump Tariffs, before they release your items. So beware if the price seems too good on overseas items.

You be stuck navigating the extra fees if the seller doesn't tell you if they are included. USPS, FED X, DHL, will all be looking to collect.
