If you're getting that much back, maybe you should focus on better financial planning instead of a Porsche.
(but if you've already got the money, do it.)
My employer grossly over-withholds my annual bonus, don't think they've adjusted to new tax law that went through last year. Interest free loan to the US government...doing my part...lol
As Dirty Harry said "a man has got to know his limitations". As much as i'd love one, i don't have the self control to drive it safely on the roads in NJ/PA. Maybe someday when i'm retired and living elsewhere or as a dedicated track car.
Annual is an adjective meaning �occurring once per year�
Bonus is a noun meaning
�an amount of money added to wages on a seasonal basis, especially as a reward for good performance�
i hope that clears up any confusion as to its meaning.
In English, it translates to "hahaha self-employed looser [sic]."
Don't run "paid time off" through Google Translate - it's even more demeaning to those of us who sign our own checks.
I went almost 15 years with no paycheck, putting every penny i had to my name at extreme risk. Was a day away from personal bankruptcy on 3 occasions, self funded my family�s health costs without insurance for over a decade, and nearly lost my house, but I persisted and ultimately was able to pay 100% for both of my children�s 4 years of private college tuition plus 2 weddings.
My talents were recognized by others and ultimately rewarded with a salaried job, including performance BONUS, thus allowing me to reduce my personal financial risk. The PTO (paid time off aka vacation days) and 100% health coverage is another nice kicker.
I�ve taken more financial risk over the course of my career than anyone i know so i wont apologize for now being a well paid �employee�. My Porsche purchase last year was the 1st luxury item i ever bought for myself, and even then it was only because my wife insisted i reward myself after a crazy 25 year financial roller coaster.
Venting complete...lets talk oil, tires, IMSB, driving fast....and center cap alignment!
There are two types of self employed people, ones who make sacrifices to succeed and end up here with fun toys (and possibly other forums) or the ones that just think being self employed means everyday is a vacation. Most of us who have started our own companies and work for ourselves have gone through what you have to one extent or the other. This leads to my comment "refund, whats that?" because as I'm sure you are aware most of us do not get those either, we just pay pay pay lol.
Hope you enjoy your dream car!!
Wait, what? You mean writing for
Windblown Witness
isn't your only job?
I'm in the public sector so no bonus. Heck, we even have pay for our own Christmas party.
Nothing personal.
By force of habit, I still start at the back of W/W looking for the classifieds that are no longer there. I was one page flip away from your article.
Thank you for the kind words but I'm just a mid-level worker bee pushing paper.
