I'm not fancy like you guys; I use the H&R Block software on my computer. The pain was when I lived in two different states during a single year and had property in three states, one a rental property and land sales in Louisiana. Still did it on the computer with the software. Now with all my money gone to medical bills and over two years being unemployed, yet somehow receiving no unemployment benefits from two separate claims (everyone else seemed to receive benefits but me), in which I was supposedly was to receive awards, yet somehow did not, my taxes are quite easy. Still a pain of a process though. Just take out during the year and leave me alone. We all need to hire ChiYankee to help us with our taxes. He's the baddest CPA in Chicago:
lol, how did I miss this? I'm actually doing my mother-in-law's taxes right now. What a great Friday night!  |

Fortunately, I am once again, finally, gainfully employed. I'll receive my first paycheck on April 15 - apropos. But, you are probably correct. It would be nice to recover some of the cash I earned paying into the system. Hot diggity! We learn to appreciate work when we struggle so without it. I admire you for getting your medical bills paid, etc. during that stretch. Many would not have. So many people I’ve met with credit destroyed because of medical bills… Sarah and I discussed declaring bankruptcy a couple times, but I couldn’t do it. More vanity than practicality on my part. Sarah was the practical one. It was one of my reasons for disliking the former president, who declared bankruptcy multiple times, scamming the system while flying on private jets and playing golf on courses I can no longer afford. Once Sarah died, I just didn’t care, wanting to contract COVID or just give up the ghost in my sleep. Unfortunately, my immune system is evidently more virus than host, so nothing seems to stick to me no matter the abuse or lack of care. Unemployment insurance sure would have been a great assistance. Instead, I’m treading water in debt. I miss being financially secure, and I could handle one and then two major illnesses in my family but three was too much to handle with a health care system built for profit off of people’s maladies - the only one in the industrialized world. It’s shameful. |

I cannot tell you how many times Sarah would announce that we were getting a refund from the IRS and one of our vehicles would inevitably require a 1700 dollar repair. Always some amount perfectly divisible by 1700 dollars.  |

I cannot tell you how many times Sarah would announce that we were getting a refund from the IRS and one of our vehicles would inevitably require a 1700 dollar repair. Always some amount perfectly divisible by 1700 dollars.  It’s life in a nutshell. I think that most of us are wired to figure in our heads how spend all of what we make. I had some years when I made $35K and I did fine. I had some years I make $80K and struggled. When the ex and I were together was the worst, but I don’t even want to think about the financial atrocities she committed. We both made decent salaries, but… enough. I feel the old familiar pain. One rather wealthy fellow told me that he had a threshold. Now, this was back in the 80’s, but he said that he had no problem figuring out how to spend all of his money up to about $300K per year. Fancy cars, recarpet the house once a year, clothes, golfs, exotic trips. Once he made more than that he had to find ways to spend it… |

Always some amount perfectly divisible by 1700 dollars. We’re at the bottom of the roller coaster at the moment, but I’ve been back to work and am owed a couple checks. As long as I can stay well the extra money will roll in, and we’ll head for the top again. If I get sick, then back down into the shitter we go. That’s why I keep wanting to downsize from this house. I want to be able to stabilize more so that we might be able to stash something back for when I can’t go on. Ruthie seems to have no grasp of my reasoning, or the stress I feel. She hasn’t worked in ten years, so her livelihood is completely hooked to me. To her, she likes this neighborhood. She’ll go when I say we’re moving, but she’d rather just sit here until it all falls apart. It’s a family trait, I guess. I just helped her get her first credit card in her name and have her tied to the mortgage and the small loan ws took for the Hummer. How does a person live til 66 and not have a credit rating? But digressing, she has not one, but two brothers that bought houses and walked away from them. Her first husband had poor credit, and wouldn’t let her see or pay bills. We learn by examples and by doing… |

What I miss about my old life and having no money worries is being able to help others. There was a time when I could take care of myself, my family, my wife's family, et al if needed. Not being in that same position saddens me. I miss buying friends just starting out in a relationship or marriage household items and especially things that are not necessities, just to make life a little easier on them. |

Those things have generally happened to much of society now, though. Having the extra to break generous with is extremely rare, even among people who are financially fortunate. There is too much fear in this country now for people to risk helping others… |
