Today is a big day for me because I am finally getting caught up on my taxes.
I fell into bankruptcy and all kinds of financial trouble back in 2008 when the financial world collapsed. That is when I decided to move to NYC and pursue comedy full time. I made no money doing comedy so I stopped filing returns for 13 years but now I have a regular income and can start filing again and paying some taxes. I barely make enough still but I would like to get squared away with the IRS. Also, living overseas changed things too. Today I have a problem with my hot water heater and need to call a plumber because I have no clue what is causing the issue. At least I don’t need to pay for it because I am just renting the flat here so it feels kind of nice not needing to worry about the cost of it. I have a tankless hot water heater and need someone good at servicing that type of model since it is something I haven’t come across when repairing this type of problem. I have simplified my life for this reason alone; I was tired of constantly trying to keep up with all of the maintenance necessary when owning a home. I still have no money saved but at least I don’t need to get nervous when calling a plumbing service nowadays. I am happy to not have any debt anymore and my bills are very few and I’ve streamlined the payment process of each of them.
