My wife takes 40% of everything that comes in and puts it in her "tax account", but it's a really big number and still hurts, even though we know all along it isn't really our money.The Mrs. took advantage of a lot of OT and extra shifts in the ER last year, and I hit every quarterly bonus possible. Funny how in hindsight you think back and say, damnit, shouldnt have done that.
We set aside a lot because we know we are going to owe, so it doesnt hit hard at all, but still makes me pucker up for a few weeks.
