I wrote/mailed tax checks today...

I would be in such great shape for taxes if only audio gear was deductible!

"My wife and I paid every year and always a few thousand extra.  Since being retired, we now get a refund of a couple of thousand."

stereo5- that's great. I am looking forward to joining that seemingly elusive club. I've got 7 years to go until F.R.A., and I'm not waiting a day later! If things go better than planned, I'm out in 5.

I can then FINALLY, dedicate more time for proper audio neurosis.

The problem is that politicians, no matter what side of the aisle, fix every problem by spending more money. (I know there are a few exceptions, but very few).

It is those "very few" I seek out and support.

The IRS is one of the few reasons I keep a checkbook. 

Taxes are taxes wherever one lives, that said cheques still must be 

an American thing, living in Canada it must be at least 25 years since 

I last had a cheque book every thing being electronic.
