Still here

Hi all! I haven't had much to say so, for once, I kept quiet. I was AMAZED that my NEW car took 3 hours to clean. I HATE to think how much time it will take when it's NOT new. In my defense, I DID clean the interior as well as washing and waxing. But 3 HOURS!!!?? Geesh!

$2,800.00. This is what the Federal Government seems to think I deserve for being gainfully employed, a homeowner, and had a minor child during the year. I've always taken the money and wisely?? spent it, but I've never GOTTEN it! How can I be intitled to MORE than I actually PAID! I'm sure I'll be singing another tune next year when they decide that I have very deep pockets. Is it just me, or is the tax system a BIT unequal??? The City of St. George has already decided that my deep? pockets can afford an additional 10 dollars a month on my mortgage. This because I should pay an unreasonable amount in property tax. I like this city and all, but good heavens my tax is MORE than 2 mortgage payments a year. How do they justify this??

Our property tax is escrow'ed into the mortgage but yes it is a bit ridiculous. It has been doing some crazy things the last few years.

It's great to know that the city thinks people have even more money during a nasty recession. Cute.

Back when I was working two jobs, I got a 'tiny' refund if memory serves. It was as if I had a little extra money to go play in my free time and Uncle Sam was like: "Well, you go have fun and we will go ahead and just keep what you paid into the system. Thanks for being such a hard worker."

That's insane. I know it'll just be worse for Brady and I when we buy a house but really a property tax of 7-800 a year is just nuts.
