How would you describe your 2017? Good? Not so good? Not good at all?
Hopefully 2018 will be better!
I put all my money into taxes. They’re the only thing that’s sure to go up.
The Government says we should be proud to be paying taxes. I think I could be just as proud for about a third of the money.
For me, trying to do my own taxes is like a do-it-yourself mugging.
