Shrewdness's Journal, 27 Apr 24

Numbers were crunched yesterday and we owe taxes.🥺 It isn’t a lot, but it hurts. I am on the edge of being good or bad today. I may need a margarita and chips.😁 Next week I will ask my CPA to set up quarterly payments for us to the government, as I want to get a few bucks back and not pay big bucks. Dang it and we just paid 1,800 for a new water heater; death, taxes and childbirth, there’s never any convenient time for any of them!😕

Will again attempt to organize today, you never know when you’ll find that missing winning lottery ticket.😁 In fact, now that I think about it, may spend a dollar today on the lottery, what better way to find long lost relatives.😆 OUT…🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Have a Spectacular Saturday!!🌺☀️
A clear conscience is a sure sign of a bad memory.

I went through all of that with the IRS with a monthly pay plan for 7 years. We owed about 8k. No longer with her and things under control now. Go have that margarita and chips! Cheers!

We had a homemade taco salad. No regrets. The meme is so funny!

When your income varies from year to year, paying quarterly can really help prevent that big hit at the end of the year.

Well at least your taxes are done, that’s a relief but I hear you on the costs. We did a staycation this year instead of a vacation because we had to replace our furnace and fridge. At least the weather has been getting so much nicer! I banished my long sleeves to the back of the closet. Yay! 🎉

Chicago Ken, what a horror story!! I am glad life is better now!👍 I am going to start making quarterly payments just to never be slapped with a huge payment. You think life is going well, but the more you achieve the more the government wants! It’s just a fact, unless you’re a politician.😁 May go for a margarita today.👍☀️

EvaSieteTres, you’re the best!!!🤗 I will think twice before shoveling anything in my mouth! I’ll use a tiny spoon instead.😁💕

Morticia, I think taco salads are the easiest and healthiest, plus they’re soooo delicious!! Can live off that for sure!! My dad was so cheap, he loved going to the bank for free coffee. He’d sit in a chair and enjoy his coffee. One time the bank was being robbed and he didn’t even notice, just sat through it all sipping his coffee.😆

Shirfleur💕, you’re with my mind set. I am going to do that this year for sure, the horrors of owing them anything bugs me. Once I pay this month what we owe, I will start in June making payments, I want to see money coming back rather than going in.👍 Hoping you’re enjoying your day!!!🌸❤️

Ugh. So sorry to hear that. We were just recovering from Christmas, then we adopted three cats and they all needed neutering, then more vet bills when one got sick from pancreatitis and diabetes. Hang in there.

Shrewdness, the real horror is when you don't owe taxes, because that means you made no money. ☹️

Shrewdness, that’s tough! Not easy at all. ❤️‍🩹

Sternfan, we will be paying quarterly for now on. I don’t want to face this ever again. Our vacations are always in the mountains and never cost much to go on. I feel for you. We just got through paying for our refrigerator, they’re not $300 -$500, anymore. Our furnaces need to be replaced, but we are surviving living in S.CA. I am always cold though, haven’t given up my sweaters yet. Well, we both have new refrigerators and healthy, so enjoy your day in your short sleeves!👍😁☀️

Is bank theft reportable or tax deductible income? I found that setting up and online IRS account helped make the quarterly process less hectic. They offer a phone app.

AncientHippie, you are wonderful to take care of three cats!!🤗 I have cats, but barn cats and I am down to three. I wanna get them fixed, but I could use a few more kittens and I think they’re coming soon by the looks of things. 😁 Vet bills can be so outrageous. I try not to get upset when I go to the vet. Blessings and good luck with that.👍

Shirfleur💕, I want to thank you because you kind of made me feel better about paying. It’s true if you don’t owe, you haven’t made much. I think it’s been our expenses that have saved us in the past, but last year we really didn’t have any, not even medical, which is a good thing, so I’m gonna look at it in a better light. Thank you.!!👍❤️🤗

LaineAndTheDog98, we will get through this and it will be over with. I just gotta do better planning next year. Hope you’re doing well yourself.👍

Yippee Ki Yay, I didn’t know they offered a phone app, that’s crazy! I think I wanna stay the old-fashioned way, paying by check and mailing it in. Easy enough for me. Thanks though. 👍
