My wife has a cake business she started 3 yrs ago. She is building the business and things are getting better, but she shows a loss at the end of the year.
I work 3 jobs. The first job is 40/hrs per week and has retirement and other benefits. The second job is 15 hrs per week (sometimes less) and pays 65% of job one. To make ends meet I work a 3rd job, averaging about 15 hrs per week. The third job grosses me about $5500 per yr.
I Plan on asking the tax man to calculate what my refund would be if I didnt have the third source of income. Not working the third job, I would have weekends free. Figuring if the increase in my refund was equal to half of what I make working, I am wasting my time working to get ahead.
People wonder why I choose to work so much. I was always taught that you work to get by. If that means working a third job, you work a third job. The tough part is that if our tax system penalizes those that work
to get ahead and rewards those that choose not to work, why fight the system? Tired of being penalized for trying to better myself and take care of my family.
