I explain it like this. I hand them 4 quarters and say this:
I also always add, "and if you really want to get the deduction you can have the same effect by giving your money to your favorite charity, do good and get the money back"

The smartest things government did is make paying your taxes "convenient" through payroll deduction. If, even for a month, everyone received their entire paycheck then had to sit down and write the checks for the amount they "owed" there would be a serious tax revolt.

You're in good company. That's pretty much how I'm rolling.

So, I carried on for a couple of years, then two bouts with cancer slowed me down to the point where I wasn't effectively servicing my client base ....... so, I retired. mrs humfrz is a few years younger than I, so I thought she would work, teaching school, for a few more years. That's what "I" thought ....... that's not what "she" thought. So, she retired "a little bit early" so we could ......."travel and see the world" ......??? WRONG again, humfrz ........ she retired so we could help care for our granddaughters. Yep, "the world" is interesting but another world (watching children grow up and learn hour by hour) is much more interesting ...... humfrz |

I'll be swapping mine back onto the new car even though I ended up with a PP and the OE Brembo package. Expect to lose even more weight. Will have to work to not screw the balance up, but interested to know where the final weigh-in lands. This is with a full tank minus ~75 miles, since that's all I've driven it. I'm not in the car, but this is stock. Might have to change LCA if the light leveling thing is a problem (didn't realize it was a thing on the newer cars...) and I can't fabricate a fix. Shorai battery also does really well and a lot of weight in that. The rest is harder.

Welp, that's a good plan for sure ......
Even being debt free, doesn't mean you don't have expenses: food clothing insurance (life, homeowners, medical, auto) utilities taxes (income and property) or rent house maintenance medical (to a certain extent) entertainment gasoline and auto maintenance and if you have children/grandchildren - too many expenses to list ..... ........ THAT"S where my money goes! humfrz |

Quite. I assume he's talking STX, but things like removing interior isn't allowed, for example. Big items are brakes, battery, junk in the trunk, seats, and often the header. Keeping it off the wheels helps (17x9).
