Jeezus - just did our taxes. Filed our usual, married w/ no deductions, Uncle Sam, 401K and benefits took damn near 48% of our friggin income already....... and we still owe over $2400!!!!! My injury required some disability time used from work so that didn't help. Thought we'd been holding out enough..... wrong.

This is the first time we've owed taxes.... sucks.

On top of that, the truck and the GTO are due for registration next month for another friggin $850......

Apparently I earned way too much, bumped up in tax bracket. Working overtime sure can end up screwing ya in the end huh? Thing is, I was injured for half of '06 and didn't earn diddly for O.T. compared to '05..... :dunno:

:rattle:

$401K? + Benefits?! I don't make a month what you owe in taxes so I wouldn't be complaining if I was you.

LOL - Shhhh.... Uncle Sam isn't supposed to know about that! :D
 
I just got hit for 2500 bucks this year. What I don't get is that I'm hammered anyway since I'm single and rent. The "401K" was the only thing saving my ass. What did you do to get the "big hose", dude?

pretty sure I wouldn't be... If I was making $400,000/year I'd be smart enough to put something aside for those exact reasons (taxes, car, etc.) If you guys are going to complain about making TOO much money, how about you complain about being too stupid to hoard some of it away for rainy days as well :nono:
 
How in the hell?? 48%? Jesus.
p.s. you can write off the property tax on the GTO if there's any on the renewal :)
I get a huge tax writeoff for my renatal, depreciation, insurance, HOA fees etc etc it's a nice 15k deduction every year and keeps me out of trouble.

401k is a retirement investment.....not how much he makes. :twak:

hes a bright one.
 
well for fawks sakes, someone coulda pointed that out after my first post. I'm freakin canadian and I don't make investments so how should I know that? 401K looks like an income figure to me.

Oh - my - gawd..... :laugh2: :roflmao: :laugh2: :roflmao:

I honestly thought he was just being an ass..... He really thought I made $401,000 last year?!?!?! Man I wish! :D

C'mon man! There ain't too many guys runnin' XJ's that make that kind of income.... and the ones that do tend to move to Texas, become Prozac dependant, and lose all sense of humor after building a grotto and brick barn for their diesel pusher motor home.....

Thanks for the laugh! My side genuinely hurts now! :thumbup:

*shrug* What do I know, you could be some oil-rig tycoon with lots of toys and just happen to like XJ's (you did mention truck and GTO, could be a $70K superduty and a 68 Goat)

LOL - well many of my co-workers have nicknamed me "The well financed redneck"..... and it don't take much for a redneck to be well financed.... but I do alright - just frustrated that my gross income and my net income are 48% apart from each other..... :mad:

Regardless, I appreciate you being a good sport about it. Afterall, you're lurking in a Chapter forum pretty far from your home turf! :D

and that's why I'm not worried about getting my butt kicked :P

I just saw the title involving taxes and since it's our season for that up here as well thought I'd peak in. Then I saw what I thought was some rich whino complaining about how he makes 400k, gets half taken away in taxes and then has troubles affording to re-register his vehicles at $1000 lol.

BTW, is my "home chapter" The northwest area? Is there no chapter specifically for Canadians?

No Canadian chapter at this time, but there's plenty of you guys..... you all ought to get organized!

Info about starting a chapter is in the By-Laws found here:
(Scroll down to Article VII)

God, I haven't laughed this hard in years.

My only problem is that he should have done it two years earlier. :flame:
