For the first time in the many years that I’ve been doing our taxes, I misjudged our tax situation and today I discovered that we owe about $5K. I had guessed that, with the loss from the business, plus all the unreimbursed medical expenses, we’d be ok with just one large quarterly payment last year. Shit.
I was worried that Robbie would be really pissed, but she wasn’t. Just a sigh of resignation. It’s pretty clear now that we need to get a second mortgage to get a better handle on the debts. We’ve been through this before, but it’s a bummer to have to do it again.
And now it occurs to me: do I know for sure that this is bad news?
