You messed up. You gotta convince the other people bang the rocks for you. Then you can pay no taxes.
You can deduct expenses for each unga bunga as long as you were thinking about work at the time
To owe that much you’d be making close to 300k in the US for federal taxes. You’ll be fine.
My brother in Christ I work at 7/11 I’m just really bad at taxes
We live in an era of abundance but a tiny minority of ultra wealthy villains cannot stand resources being shared fairly if it means they lose their relative wealth, and the vast majority are coming to realize they can (violently or not) seize the means of production and sentence a dozen of these fuckers to death along with anyone dumb enough to defend them during this final stretch of late stage capitalism.
It’s going to take a few years of turmoil and effort, but a few brave people here and there will be enough to bust their bunkers and drain their accounts to pay for the resources they’ve managed to steal from public coffers over the last decade. There won’t be justice because laws aren’t going to apply, only fury and retribution as the majority do not show the same mercy afforded to the Nazis during the Nuremberg trials.
If you live in a wealthy country you almost certainly have more than the average person on the planet unless you are on the edge of homelessness.
Everyone could have enough, but a lot of people would be very angry at losing a lot of what they currently have. Even if you would be happy with less, most wouldn’t.
Is it abundance if it relies on slave labour or awful wages from a 3rd world country?
Does it matter if you have more than the average person* if your house is effectively over quicksand?
Most Americans have more than the average person planetwide, but we’re one job loss away from being homeless. There’s no real stability in the job world, so our lives are mostly relying on luck**.
I’m paranoid about this type of thing, so I:
- Live in a cheap house - purchase price about 60% of what the bank would have approved.
- Drive an old car. I bought it in 2012 with a low-interest loan. No car payment since 2017.
- Save aggressively. Max retirement accounts and keep up a healthy emergency cushion.
*I’m taking “average person” here to mean “has more wealth than 50% of people on Earth” (wow, such a high bar!)
**Not entirely luck, but I’ve read too many “lost my job in tech to layoffs in 2023/2024 and am now homeless” accounts to believe in any guarantees in the American economy.
