That’s fair. I appreciate your concern for me!

He’s not always like that. I didn’t mean to make him sound like a jerk. I just meant to relate to the topic of tax confusion with personal experience.

He had pretty severe ADHD and struggles with some topics. It’s okay! I deal with the money stuff and he cooks dinner. :)

You’re absolutely right. I cant speak for anyone else, as I don’t live there but I highly doubt the US is an exception.

Rather than being mad at each other, I want to make sure we hold the right people accountable! Governments, corporations, billionaires etc.

It’s a form of oppression.

This is true for many people I’ve talked to, but he does understand, on a basic level, how the brackets work. When it comes to the calculation parts, I think he gets frustrated with all the rules.

But it’s okay! I’m good at stuff like that and he can build pretty much anything. We all have our strengths. :)

Nah. He’s not an idiot. But he is impatient. He doesn’t handle paperwork or anything involving patience well. (ADHD)

I also think taxes in the US are intentionally over complicated and confusing. I don’t struggle with things like that but I can empathize with people who do.

Exactly, and it also depends on what withholding you have requested.

Nah. He’s not a bad person or a dummy. He just gets frustrated by bureaucracy and doesn’t have the patience I have.

Yeah, I definitely didn’t leave this in school. I know about it from reading articles on tax brackets. _(‘’)/

This is the problem. My partner doesn’t want to work OT because he thinks it will cost him more in taxes. I explain why that’s not exactly true, but I can tell he’s not interested. Financial Literacy in the US is abysmal.

If I had kids now, I wouldn’t let them touch Roblox. My ex had a kid that he didn’t pay enough attention to. That was constantly falling in with online predators in Roblox and Discord. I reported a predator on discord and they made me go through and flag every picture the kid sent, not the whole conversation. wtf Discord. Keeping predators away on Roblox was harder.
