I\u2019ve always been on the edge, working full time, paycheck to paycheck, and hardly able to survive. In fact, most of my life I haven\u2019t been able to make ends meet with one job. I\u2019ve always had to take on side work. Whether it was from taking on too much debt or having too many kids doesn\u2019t really matter. The times I\u2019ve been able to get ahead while working only a full time job have been few and far between. I suppose that\u2019s probably true for most people. Yet, I\u2019ve been more fortunate than many in that when I couldn\u2019t find anything else my mother always had work for me to do. From accounting to computer programming to gardening, she would always find extra work for me when I needed it. She was also quite good at getting tax money back for me using the government\u2019s own rules.<\/p>\n<p>So it was years ago when I had a particularly poor paying job and no side work was available for me that I started complaining to her about my lack of funds to pay for the necessities of life. It was during the course of such a conversation when she asked something to the effect of, \u201cTell me, how would you be doing if you didn\u2019t have to pay taxes?\u201d That question made me think. I remember doing some quick math in my head and figuring out that I would have had all the money I needed for expenses and been able to put money away if I wasn\u2019t paying taxes. I wouldn\u2019t have been doing too badly. I told her as much. <a href=\"http:\/\/szandorblestman.blogspot.com\/2010\/01\/destructiveness-of-taxes.html\" target=\"_blank\">Read Entire Article<\/a><\/p>\n<p>By Szandor Blestman<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SzandorBlestman | I\u2019ve never had a job where I\u2019ve earned that much money.
