  • Finding the will to get out of bed in the morning. For twenty years I’ve gone to work 40 or more hours a week and honestly I just can’t seem to find a care to do it anymore. I’m sure it’s tied to depression or not being happy in my life or some shit but really it just seems easier some days to say why not just end it and not stress about being late on rent or having some awkward conversation telling someone you were sick and you know you shouldnt be missing days but really the work is just not fulfilling so I have no drive to keep doing it.


  • We get what you meant (w2), but in case it wasn’t a typo, the w4 is what you submit when you start a job instructing the employer on how to modify what is taken out of your paychecks. They try to make them friendly for people by saying choose a number on certain lines pertaining to how many dependents you have because they expect you will get a larger return at the end of the year, so if you take more out up front you will still break even or still get some of your money back at the end of the year. If you know what you have/will have you can actually do all the math yourself up front and modify the amount taken out so the government isn’t holding any of your money hostage throughout the year and you get it back in your paycheck, and end up having it at $0 owed at the end.

    For most people they don’t think it’s worth it, but anyone who gets a $1800 or $3500 dollar tax return or such at the end of the year, is not doing their taxes very smart. As that’s 3500 you could have invested or used for other things throughout the year.
