24 Hours Remaining…
I know I sounded something like a madman three years ago when I stated that I liked paying taxes. Granted, it’s not actually the process of writing checks that I like; it’s the bit about doing my part for the community at large.
This year, however, I hated doing the taxes. That’s despite the fact that we’re getting a refund this time. The biggest problem was that due to timing issues I had to wait until this, the last few days to file. Being sick for the past week hasn’t helped either.
I don’t like waiting until the last minute to finalize the tax season, and I can’t understand why many people wait until the last possible minute to even begin the process. Because I started doing taxes last November, I learned about the option of taking the amount of sales tax paid during the year as a deduction instead of the amount of state income tax paid. That alone increased our refund by at least $500. It shouldn’t bother me that most people pay more in taxes than they have to, even if they engage the services of a tax “professional”, but for some reason it does.
Worse still, are cheaters. I’ve never cheated on my taxes, and I look down upon those who do. Do me a favor; keep it honest.
Hey Richard, Very random, but I found your “goals” site while searching for private pilots license information. Anyways, I saw that map that you had on your page with the countries you had traveled to highlighted. How did you get that? Just wanted to tell you I really liked your goals page. If you do all that, you couldn’t ask for anything else! Have fun, Dave
I used Microsoft Excel and its mapping capabilities.
Hi Richard. I need a contact email, because i gotta ask you for permition to use one of your 3d animations (LOTR ling). I could not find any on your site.
