We finally filed our taxes, we owed a massive 13k in taxes for last year. A big hit selling a mutual fund we've been saving for years for a down payment on the house, live in a HCOL as it is so housing is ridiculous, we just squeeked over 150k combined and that hit us. Helping an adult that can't afford their life, and I'm saving zero extra, so it's feeling ridiculous at this point in time. I think that coupled with I'm working full time plus overtime every single week and health-wise this isn't doing me well and taking a toll. Just nothing much more to say, just venting on getting a big hit from all sides.
i'm sorry. i remember one year we got hit with the alternate minimum tax and it HURT (and we were really not making a huge amount at the time).
