I just paid all the bills that come due between now and the end of the month. What with semi-annual homeowners and auto insurance included, it was a fairly hefty amount.

Then I looked back at the bills I paid just a week ago (Discover and Visa included, which had all my expenses from the convention on top of the usual), and I realized I've paid out two grand in one week's time.

And that doesn't cover any cash I've spent.

*faints*

Auuuuugh! That's always an annoying reaslization.

If you want to feel any better, I have to write my quarterly estimated tax check today, and it will be a power of ten of that amount....

I don't mind paying taxes! it's just, ugh, when you're self-employed and have to write the check YOURSELF instead of having it withheld...

I always have to chant "I'm funding NASA, I'm funding NASA" whenever I write the check.

(Trick I learned from another self-employed friend: whenever you write your estimated taxes, you pick a government program or two you support 100%, and convince yourself that your taxes are ONLY going to that, and not to like, the TSA. *g*)
