Taxes!
Yep, not a very pleasurable subject, still here is a short quote about taxes which brings it pretty much to the point…:
You are taxed when you earn.
You’re taxed when you spend.
You’re taxed when you save.
You’re taxed when you die.
And yes, mainly the poor and the middle class pay taxes, the rich usually find a clever way around it!
(From the excellent book ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad’ by Robert T. Kiyosaki with Sharon L. Lechter)
Taxes are of course a pain in the ass!
