Title: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow
Post by: LizStreithorst on October 13, 2014, 11:54:21 AM
Finally got my 2013 taxes done.  Wed. is the absolute dead line otherwise they throw you in jail or something.  I do this every single year.  I never have to pay but a pittance and sometimes even get a little money back, so it's not the paying that bothers me.  It's sitting down and dealing with all those damn numbers.

Same as always, it took me all of 2 1/2 hrs and I am telling myself once again how good I feel now that it's done, and how easy it was, and how I won't put myself through all this worry by waiting until the last moment next year.  In my heart, I know that next year I will do exactly the same thing :-[

Well, good for you ;D...I'm the opposite...if I have something hard to do, etc......I do it first....makes all the other tasks seem like chicken feed.....

It's even more ''hanging over your head'' worrisome when you're 2 years behind...!
