something I am grateful for today

Last night I did our income taxes. They aren't due until April 30. That's nine days early. New personal best! WOOT!!

Well, it's easy doing Canadian taxes. You simply take all the money you have and send it to the government.

No. First they take it then we do our taxes to get some back.

I think you'll find as your writing income scales up that that's less and less how it works...

I look forward to that problem. As my father used to say, "The only thing worse than paying taxes is not having to pay taxes." Being an entrepreneur, that meant he hadn't made any money that year.

From all I've heard about American taxes, I'm tempted to agree that ours seem much simpler.

And we do get to save a bit on health insurance.
