We are so poor......

We went to do our taxes today…
It takes about hour and half to get
thru the process…

We have had Tricia do ours for over
15 years. She is a delight and smart too.

This year after making sure I had all
my paper work, we got thru the whole
thing. Then we found out there was
one piece of paperwork not in the
bunch… it was from my savings account.

But was able to save face as we could call.
We found out that Wells Fargo does not send
out any paper work for interest rate less than
$10. Because you have to claim it if it is over
50 cents, I had to have the information. Well,
that was a horrible eye opener.. After calling
the main office, I found out it was $1.16 for
the year. A FLAMING DOLLAR AND SIXTEEN
CENTS !! While I don’t have a lot in my savings,
it sure should have collected more than that. Then
found out because of the recent bank problems,
My account is only earning .0004 …..but
A FLAMING DOLLAR AND SIXTEEN CENTS???
FOR A YEAR???

Which we were then told at the end… that we didn’t
owe any money (that is good) in fact, we were getting
it all back. Folks, I am serious.. we are so poor, the
Government is giving all of it back. We also found
out we qualify for a tax break on our home.

I knew we downsized, and we have gave up a lot,
And then there is the insurance thing… but we didn’t
know how poor we are… good thing we are rich infriends and family.

Yup, the revelations of "interest earned" for tax purposes this past year sure does make ya wonder if that mattress might be just as good a place for depositing the cash.

But then, there might be bed bugs coming in to eat it all! :)
