This is your captain speaking;
I'm in South Dakota for a month long vacation on account if I worked any more, that would put me in a higher income tax bracket. And since I'm going Galt, well, you know. Time, leisure, labor thing and all.
Postings will be less frequent than normal.
South Dakota is a great place, the farther away from Sioux Falls, the better it gets.
ReplyDeleteHave fun, Cap. May your pack be full of fossils.
Enjoy! :D
ReplyDeleteHave you ever made enough to pay federal income taxes?
ReplyDeleteYes, for most years post college I did. Recent economy has resulted in a loss of income to the point I've been knocked down to the sad/happy (depending on your perspective) point that I'm in a bracket where last year I did pay in, this year, I actually may not.
ReplyDeleteThe larger issue I had was psychologically accepting the fact I was never going to make it to that top income tax bracket. But the other side of the coin is that, OK, I don't make that much money, but since it's impossible to make that much money, that means you are more or less forced to enjoy leisure. Not what I wanted, but since it's out of my control, the only option is to go Galt and enjoy the free time.
Let me know when the economy picks up.
I love South Dakota. A great place to visit, one of only a few places I can't see a down-side in.
ReplyDelete2 words Captain, *Wall Drug* :)
