Family Life...and taxes

Its tax season, almost.

Technically you can turn your tax sheet in, and get your money by V-day (valentines not vagina) in your account. IF YOU ARE WISE.

Over the years, I have done this, did it early and did it often, well...just once.

This year though :( SMH, I cant. I mean, I HOPE I don't owe anything, but man o man o man o man, these mofos are anally raping me.

I don't want to do the numbers, but like...why did they take $33k from me in fed taxes.? Totally unfair. Then another $10k or so in State taxes....(stay with me, that's like $43k) Medicare $3k, Social Security $6k, retirement $11k (even though its mine later)...total deductions...roughly $63 and then with the insurance and life insurance that pushes it to $66k.

$66k...that's $66,000. That is so wrong on so many levels. I could support a FAMILY on the amount of deductions they took from me this year alone :(

But I guess...at the end of the day, at least I have a job snarf snarf.

Now, supposedly having a family reduces how much you have to pay in taxes. So...next logical step would be for me to get married, have kids, and save money...right? Uh, not so fast. That is a fallacy in my thought process, but then again, so is paying $66K in taxes. Ugh...maybe I should have bought a house last year too.

I FAIL.

Money FAIL :(

WEllllllp without paying taxes, you'd have to pay your kid's teacher's salaries out of pocket. And new roads. Annnd...you get my drift ;)

We just have to have faith that Congress is putting our money in the right direction!
