Gotta go see the accountant and pay the taxman today (again). Ugh!!!
I got an extension again, so now have until October 15 to deal with the mess instead of getting it all over with in April like most people do.
One more reason to get off my ass and figure out HOW to move out of here! If I can move, the first $100,000 or so of earned income will be tax free. Of course, I have no idea how I would ever earn anywhere close to that amount outside of the Gulf of Mexico, but that’s beside the point!
If I don’t have to give up close to 50% of my income in taxes, that means I can easily afford to live on 50% less income. And, I can probably avoid getting ripped off for another $10-15,000 in the obamascam! I’m SURE there are many places around the world where I could manage to live nicely on 50% of my income.
Now, the issue is: how do I come up with ANY income if I’m not working in the Gulf of Mexico?
Great song by the Beatles! Who would’ve thought anyone could make a great song about taxes? Now, just think about the lyrics for a minute. 🙁
There’s one for you, nineteen for me
Cos I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman
Be thankful I don’t take it all
Cos I’m the taxman, yeah I’m the taxman
If you try to sit, I’ll tax your seat
If you get too cold I’ll tax the heat
If you take a walk, I’ll tax your feet
Cos I’m the taxman, yeah I’m the taxman
If you don’t want to pay some more (Aahh Mr. Heath)
Cos I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman
Declare the pennies on your eyes
Cos I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman
Taxman!
