BASTARDS!!! took 40% of my bonus. goodbye vf34 turbo upgrade :0(

oh well at least I still get to go to the Phillippines and Brazil...and pay off some debt. still sucks to not see that money

 

welcome to the highest tax bracket.......I feel your pain!


I have a solution......although for me, its just not worth going with this option.......


make less money!


LOL Sux....but hey.....whatcha gonna do? Could always move outta the country I suppose...LOL j/p

 

40% of a bonus? I wish... Seems like they take 40% of my annual earnings. Being Self Employed is painful.

 

yeah they already take 30% of my annual...craptacular!

 

Keep this in mind the next time you vote...

 

And don't forget... if you walk into a store and spend the remaining 60% of your bonus, you get hit with another 8.5% sales tax (in the city at least)... so now you're down to 51.5%.

 

Close MoDrift, but it actually works out to 55.43%

Yeah, I'm a nerd and don't have better things to do.

 

yeah..my bonus got hammered. haven't looked close enough to see percentages but I think it was like 43% or some crap. Lame man. I think it should be illegal to tax bonuses. So weird how taxes work. We get double tripple taxes on things. Hey lets tax when they earn it. Then tax when they spend it. Taxes on everything. Now they want to tax more..it's like back in the bible times man. The tax collectors could tax however they felt was right. If they wanted to earn more...tax more.

I"m in a pissed mood right not. I need a new job..anyone hiring non degree holding designers with good skills and 8 years experience.

 

if any good will come out of my financial misery, it's that I also got a $400 recognition award from work...that's $400 after taxes.

Makes the thought of making "easy" money more tempting, but then I remember I'm a small dude and the thought of getting killed or becoming someone biatch in jail just doesn't work for me. heh

Happy Friday to you all...

 

oooooh...recognition award....

shoot for recognition awards in my company they...oh wait...they don't recognize anyone that doesn't kiss ***.

 

actually, not so much *** kissing was needed which surprised me. Just did some training bits in Iowa came back then bam...$$$. ok more like $, but I'll take it anyway.

 

I was self employed last year and just rolled out the final numbers for taxes and WTF!! Honestly I hate taxes but I could feel better about it if I saw that the tax dollar was really going to something important. I just don't get how we don't have money for education, social security and other important programs when we get taxed so high. Man this thread is depressing..

 

w3rd. I work about 25-30 hours of OT every week... Im single and under 25... Which of course means = Raped in the ***.

F' the world.

 

only 40%? They are taking like 45% from me on bonuses. =\ Then 30+% on income.

 

ok..this thread is a downer for a friday. my apolgizes.
