A Short “Tax” Story
As my wife and I got deeper and deeper into financial difficulty, we had to decide what we were going to have to do to pay our bills and even more important how we could even live a comfortable life style. Using our retirement pensions was one option. Our rent was $1,250 a month and our utility bills were another $200. The cost of our auto, gas and maintenance was going through the ceiling and due to the political turmoil and rising taxes in the United States, it became very obvious that we could not afford to live, let alone pay bills and have a social life. We had to come to some reasonable assumptions to survive.
