ARRRRGGGGGGGH! That's how I've been feeling all day, extremely paranoid, extremely tired. Today I had to wait on one client's co-worker to get back to the office so I could get a pre-signed check to pay myself (good thing about being the bookkeeper - yea I pay myself) but damn he knew I'd be in today from 12 to 3 and I had to wait for him to come back and give me the check, he could have left it for me - what I am going to do with a blank check besides pay the damn bills?
Second client went great, I actually didn't feel incredibly stupid today. Although she keeps telling me that I look worn out and that I need to hire someone to help me but what she's actually saying beside that I look exhausted is that she wants someone in the office 4-5 days a week at least part-time..damn, I guess I'll place an ad this weekend for a bookkeeper.
Everyone keeps warning me that craigslist doesn't get good results for employees..but honestly, my first client found me through craigslist and look how great I turned out to be :) I'm thinking that maybe I should try the local college too - really any thoughts on this idea???
Yes, I'm completely utterly exhausted and my legs hurt, working out and then wearing heels all day, damn I'm sore.
And I got my tax returns back from the CPA - OMG I don't have that kind of money to pay the taxes and no way in hell do I have the first quarter estimated taxes. Which brings me to a question, why do I have to pay 15.3% of SS and Medicare taxes for my retirement when most likely it won't be there when I retire - since the system is screwed up? And most likely when I retire, I'll have money to live on and be happy? Then my CPA figured out that I need to pay 30% of my income per quarter towards my estimated tax - personally I think this is way way too much to pay towards estimated taxes - it would be basically taking all the income that I earned for one and half clients and just turning around and paying the IRS for that time - why bother having more than one client if that's the case? I'll probably pay the min towards the estimated taxes for a while - something like 15-20% of the income I make, since I really wanted to pay off my personal debt at some point in my life - like soon, this year!! and if all my second/third client income is going towards the IRS - why am I working so damn hard?
