Uncle Sam called…

… he wants his money back. Yes, I owe money. A lot of money, it turns out. But as my financial guy said, “The good thing about taxes is that you don’t pay them unless you made money.”

As a part of the liquidation of assets to cut a check, a very important milestone was passed: I am now no longer a shareholder of Yahoo!. (Nor of Disney, which I would have preferred to hold on to for sentimental reasons, but it’s too late for that now.)

In other financial news, shortly after my egg post, the egg market crashed, and I was forced to reduce my prices. I didn’t makes as much gil as I would have liked, but I still made some. And as of yet, there is no income tax in Vana’diel!

  1. I’m just glad I was smart enough to start a 401K last fall. This was the first year I didn’t owe over $150 on federal taxes. ^_^; And, yes, it blows that I didn’t get on FFXI too often to take advantage of the eggs. I’ll just keep what I have, throw out duplicates, and work on the NEXT Mog House Safe expansion quest. (After doing Gobbiebag I) – I need to throw out or sell some stuff. (Of course, I need to do that here in the real world, but it’s a little more complicated, and of course, income tax is a minor pain.)

    (ssh! Don’t give Square Enix’s FFXI team any ideas!)
