Pour me one of those, Mike... I just found out I have to pay back taxes...[:@]

...ugh...i'm feeling ya, T...my wife has been working with a financial planner lately, and i'm starting to realize that i really needed to pay more attention to what was going on...

WU: "We owe a lot of back taxes this year for switching our IRA's to Roth"
Me: "How the <bleep> did that happen?!?!?"
WU: "Switching to Roth means we have to pay taxes on the money now versus later"
Me: "I understand that...I'm asking why the financial advisor didn't warn us about it"
WU: "Well, she probably did. I must have not understood what she was talking about"
Me: <blank stare, silently cursing myself out> "I'm going to the bar. Need a Jack and coke"

...ain't life grand?...[:D]

Would it make you feel better if I pointed out that in real terms (not CPI, but real inflationary terms) they're actually charging you 3.5-4% to keep your extra money for that year?

Probably not. [:D]

I agree on the Feds using my money for free and I am essentially paying them to use my money. Like Jeff, I won't get into politics. Not a good thing for a board like this that does a great job keeping out of such a dangerous swamp that it can be for a BBS.

I used to, when I was single and had very little financial investments, try to be +/- $100 on my taxes each year. Usually, I would be +/- $25 with my efforts. Now, I went and got married, had a couple of kids, bought a house, set up some investments for my kids future, etc. One year, my wife didn't put in for taxes to be withheld with a temporary teaching position at Vanderbilt University and we had to use her income from Jan-Apr for that position to pay the taxes for the previous year... Now, I am happy if I am just plus something, although I have been able to keep it under $1000 for the last couple of years.

Getting really [replacement word]-off with my Doctors, they've now say that they probably won't operate. Thats after putting me though two weeks of bloody tests, some of them damn painful (CT biopsy). Along with the stress of preparing for a life threatening operation, and just plain messing up my life up. They're just so thick sometimes and treat me like a bloody lab-rate, and not a breathing human-being the same as them. [:@]
