“The trick is to stop thinking of it as ‘your’ money.” – IRS auditor


Didn't someone once say "Never talk about politics, religion or money."? So here we are at an impasse. To speak or not to speak. I will just address one category or money, taxes.

I want to pay my fair share of my government's expenditures. I'm not always on board with how it spends money but that is another subject. April 15, the dreaded IRS deadline, is looming barely a month away. Taxes are the most stressful time of my existence. Being self-employed, keeping track of expenditures is complicated even with help. People always have their hand out and I have a tendency to give my money away to causes I can't write off. No matter how well I plan, I always owe the IRS more. The whole process shuts me down and puts me in a funk.
