It’s hard budgeting for our tax bill every single year because I never seem to break even on my own with the several contract gigs I complete from month to month.
- A lot of our best friends look forward to their tax refunds at the start of the year, however on my end of the earth, I’m constantly wondering if I’ll have a bill like I had the year prior.
Then it generally requires a few months of finding the craziest ways to fund a few more months without eating any real food, however for ramen noodles. Otherwise I risk late fees on our tax payments, thus throwing me continually further plus further behind to the point where I can’t seem to stay caught up with the expenses. I definitely could benefit from an accountant who could make financial decisions for me throughout the year plus withhold taxes every month so there are no discrepancies when it comes time to file taxes. Taxes sincerely are not the only yearly expenses that I have to budget for, as our medical marijuana status is always hanging in the balance. Unless I pay the state $71 every single calendar year, I will lose our privilege of shopping at a legal medical marijuana dispensary in my town. While some cannabis stores offer discounts to recoup the $71 that is annually lost to the state, our preferred cannabis dispensary does not ever offer this kind of discount. I don’t want to shop at an inferior dispensary just to try to recoup our expenses to maintain our medical marijuana card. It’s not very hard getting a medical marijuana card as long as you can afford the currency that goes to the state on top of the currency paid to the cannabis shop.
