The kid thing does scare me a bit honestly. I’m living with the lady now so those discussions are obviously happening.
Plenty of totally legitimate concerns. I see a lot of parents who can hardly handle taking their kids out to breakfast, they seem stressed out, tired, and unhappy. There’s also the concern for a lack of individual fulfillment when you have to give up your free time and instead spend it with your kids.
I don’t mean that in a “great now I can’t go out to bars and get shitfaced anymore!” way. But I’m so used to doing things I want to do and not having the day to day concern of others playing into it. I don’t want children to become my entire existence.
Maybe it’s just a maturity thing and I’ll chsnge in a few years

Man, apparently two earners, Married File Jointly, claiming 0 is NOT withholding nearly enough. Got f***ing lit up by Uncle Sam this year, -$3,800
I need to change over to Married Single Rate, claim 2 and I should get a very small refund.

We filed ours last night and for the first time in years I got a return.... and my wife got absolutely screwed.
Nothing changed with here but she went from getting about $4,000 back last year to having to pay $3,000 this year while making no changes at all.

Thank our President, and those who put him in office. (Won't get any more political than that or it'll get removed).

My fiance is getting $1000 less than she did last year.
I'm sitting right about the same.
That seems like an awful high swing, though. There's not a mistake in there somewhere? $7000 swing is crazy.

Yes. Claiming 0 means more is withheld. The higher you claim, the less they take out. Claiming 0 should basically be the max, with the exception of if you specify them to take extra out.

Thats why I was confused to read switching from 0 dependents to 2 would yield a bigger refund

the more dependents you declare, the amount of taxes you pay in your regular paycheck decreases. All of this stuff evens out wither way when you do your taxes. Some people like the big refund, some rather have their money upfront or don't want to deal with paying.
Also Antartica is going to be about 10 degrees warmer than Chicago over the next couple of days.

It's not that uncommon. A large part of Antarctica is regularly in the 20's and 30's, nowadays. The link below has the current temperature in all different locations in Antarctica.
There are only two spots that are below zero, currently.

I misunderstood then, sorry.
That's my bad. It came off like you were being a smartass.It's not exactly easy to pick up how someone is actually responding via typed words, especially if no emojis are included.

Power was out for an hour and a half and just came on a bit ago. That wasn’t remotely stressful or terrifying on the coldest night of the last 25 years with a toddler, 3 month old, and two dogs at 2am.
