Thanks for the advice. We’ve already had some fights but we tend to make up pretty quickly. Although I guess it’s different when you have nowhere else to go and your only option is the other bedroom.
Signing the lease to my and my gf’s new apartment tonight, tomorrow working during the day and getting dinner with the gf and her sister and brother in law. Sunday is the Super Bowl so that’s self explanatory.
A little tax 101: you always have to pay taxes and have amounts withheld from your paycheck. By “pay taxes,” I mean take whatever your annual salary is and your rate (you can find these tables released by the IRS). Multiply one by the other and that’s your annual tax liability.
Say for example that you will make $60,000 and your tax rate for simplification is 25%. That means you owe $15,000 in taxes for the full year. You get portions of this withheld from your paycheck, this is controlled by the amount of allowances you put on your W-4 at work.
Now, say whatever number you put (usually, the higher the more is deducted in taxes from each paycheck) resulted in you paying a total of $16,000 from a year’s worth of paychecks. Congrats! You just earned yourself a $1,000 refund because you overpaid your taxes by $1,000. Conversely, if you didn’t pay enough, say you only paid $13,500, you’ll owe an additional $1,500 by that wonderful April 15th deadline.
No idea yet. I’ll be able to itemize this year for the first time because my state taxes paid are higher than the standard deduction (fuck you, California!), so I’m not sure whether I’ll still owe money or if writing off all those Goodwill donations from last year will help get me some kind of refund. I definitely didn’t plan for this.
As your friendly neighborhood CPA, I can advise you that having your refund/additional payment be as close to $0 as possible is generally the best outcome for tax planning.
Your Brad should me Charlie’s Stacy. They’ll have a fantastic 4 months of dating, followed by a 2 month engagement period and divorce after 6 months of marriage.
Jesus, PGP, I’m having difficulty keeping up with all these fire articles today. There’s only so many bathroom trips I can take before my boss starts thinking that I’m either really sick or I’m skipping work.

Of course the 49ers would hire the offensive coordinator that chose to pass when up 8 with 4 to go and in field goal range in the SUPER BOWL.
Can’t for Kyle Shanahan to get here.
Your 6:30 alarm breaks the 5 minute pattern.

Being surprised by this was almost as good as when my girlfriend surprises me with a You Know.
I read this whole thing with voices of basic bitches in my head…and it’s thankfully been a while since I’ve interacted with some in real life.
Either deFries is a master of basic bitch writing or I have some past basic bitch PTSD. Or both.
Man, first people on Facebook are having kids left and right and now it’s people on PGP. J/k, congrats on the twins!
I’m lucky enough to be in a good spot with my current job but I’ll definitely keep your advice in mind if that changes.
It’s a dark spiral.
Now you’re talking to an ex, next thing you know you’ll be raw dogging it. Please don’t follow in Duda’s footsteps.
What happened to your Fire with (I presume) Kodi?
I have way too many deadlines this week.
Cleaning my apartment tomorrow morning and then dinner and a movie with the girlfriend tomorrow night.
Sunday we’re getting brunch with her family.
Luckily (or unluckily), there’s no football this weekend.
It doesn’t exactly work that way.

Should meet*

I cringed reading that.
Dunno yet but I’ll definitely have a beer in honor of the return of our favorite raw-dogging son of a gun.
