money, money, money

If you haven't noticed it yet, and many people haven't, you should be getting a bigger paycheck this month.

Tax cut kicks in on payroll.

So I'm getting a sweet $4 a week thanks to the tax cut. How's everyone else doing?

Let's just say mine went up by considerably more than $4 a week. The increase comes within a few tenners of covering my car payment, in fact.

My taxes went down by the same amount my health insurance went up. I had absolutely no idea, which says more about me than anything else.

Let's just say that extra $9 in my bimonthly paycheck is burning a whole in my pocket, so I'll have no choice but to go out and buy a Gap t-shirt to stimulate the economy.

No tax refund at all. I have no health insurance. And I have a job that pays more than half less than I used to earn as a teacher, and that job hasn't even started yet.

And it's going to get really interesting when I start freelancing.

Freelancing sucks for tax purposes. I got killed on that two years in a row.

I get killed on that only when my employers remember to send my tax forms. Last year, they didn't. Hee hee.
