Damn you taxes...

[Brownslave688]

It's not really borrowing if you control the currency all over the world. Debt on that level is an illusion.

Tell that to Greece.

 

[Brownslave688]

It's actually more like printing instead of borrowing.

Print enough and you make that currency worthless.

There is a show called "The Profit" that I like to watch. One of the businesses was 3rd generation and the host basically echoed what Brownslave said.

Excellent show. One of my favorites at the moment

Just because you are single does not mean you have to claim single zero.

It may be smarter to wait until the new year to adjust your W-4.

 

[UPSGUY72]

Sorry.

No reason to be sorry. I'm a big boy I know life goes on. It isn't easy letting go but in the end it will be better for me and for my 2 beautiful children. I'm sure I'll find someone else down the road.. In the end she losing out not me...

Did I say "fun"?

Divorce does not have to be adversarial.

 

[UPSGUY72]

I'm not rolling over and giving her anything. Things will be split equitable. I hold all the cards she needs me to give her a gift in equity in order to buy the house...
