Paycheck Size

Well today was payday for us at my company. Paycheck already smaller.

I'll make up the difference this year with extra overtime. Plus, I should be getting a raise just big enough to cover it.

Payday is tomorrow, just can't wait to see what the hit is ...I am twitterpated.

But only the rich are going to pay more...?

Ha. Two percent payroll tax increase for everyone my friend.

Double that for me, I'm self employed. Very irritating.

I'm paid the 15th and 30th of each month, so it'll be a couple weeks for me, but it looks like I'll be pretty close to break-even. I'm sure my raise is practically all going to the 2% raise in payroll taxes.

Hence why I'm getting a 2nd job as a firearms instructor... This is ridiculous... raising taxes on people who pay 50% of all taxes? Hell, raising taxes period! Tell me again how this is going to help the economy?

I'm in the same boat for a pay schedule. Curious to see how bad it is on the 15th. My math shows me missing out on about 120 a month.
