I should just work for dirt
Well, the tax man cameth and doth did
taketh away. For various reasons, I owed a wee bit more in taxes this
year. Let's just say that when I was laid off last January, I had to
decide what I wanted done with my retirement savings that I had been
accumulating with the company I was with. I could either take it in
cash (less whatever tax they took off) or transfer it to an RSP
account of my own. I mean, it was not a lot of money as I had only
been on the plan for a year and a half. Well, I was a little short on
funds and thought what the heck, I'll take the cash please. I invested
some of it, I bought a new camera with a bit of it, and the rest has
been sitting in my bank account (subconsciously I knew I would have
to part with some of it, but was not sure how much). Also, I don't
have taxes taken off my pay cheque from Ceramics Canada, so that had
to be added on to the amount owed. Trudy, if you read this, you
should just pay me in dirt, preferably with the sticks and rocks
removed. Here's hoping that Saturday's sale is busy and profitable (aka breakevenable).
