TDW 1733 - The Tax Man Taketh Away

0:03 I learned my lesson a long time

0:03 ago one thing I would never do is

0:07 that that would end badly for me just

0:11 saying fueling up the rental car and

0:13 then I'm going to fuel myself up with

0:15 some caffeine welcome everyone Adam the

0:18 woo here today I am taking this packet

0:22 of paperwork right now actually over to

0:25 an accountant who will go through the

0:27 nooks the crannies of of the

0:30 1099s the credit card detailed

0:33 information and he will formulate

0:36 exactly how much I am going to have to

0:39 dish out of the old wallet to Uncle Sam

0:43 that's right today is

0:46 my text day get it done a little bit

0:50 early a couple weeks early it's my

0:51 second channel daily Vlog Channel

0:53 doesn't mean it's any less stressful

0:55 it's uh the daily

1:06 day there's not very much cream and

1:06 sugar in there it's a little

1:08 tart that very well may have been the

1:10 most boisterous and Loud intro in a long

1:14 time but I'm just trying to get hyped up

1:16 I'm trying to get psyched out I'm trying

1:17 to like take my mind off of the inep

1:20 whoa that bird man that bird just got

1:22 out of the way just in time for a good

1:24 portion of my adult life for over two

1:26 decades I worked retail and when you

1:28 punch a Time clock at the end of the

1:30 year you get a little bit of money back

1:32 and you get a W2 that you do your taxes

1:34 with when you're self-employed which is

1:36 technically what I am now it's a little

1:39 bit different you don't pay in

1:41 throughout the year and you get

1:42 10.99 it's a little bit confusing when

1:45 you're not used to it the last couple

1:47 years I have taken on the arduous task

1:49 of doing it all myself last year I owed

1:52 a little bit more than I felt I should

1:55 have owed so I've decided this year to

1:58 take it to a tax Prof professional and

2:01 see if they can see if they can find

2:03 something that I would possibly Miss if

2:06 I did it myself think of it like a big

2:08 puzzle like a Rubik's cube of sort you

2:10 twist it you turn it and when all one

2:12 color is facing that side that's when

2:15 the government holds its hand out and

2:16 says give me my portion I'm not sure if

2:20 that's the correct way that they

2:21 communicate and talk or that's the voice

2:23 that inflection they use but it's just a

2:25 it's my interpretation of it I make

2:27 money off of Google AdSense but also

2:28 spreadshirt you can also write off

2:31 flights gas hotels Museum admission

2:35 things of that sort so I'm hoping all

2:38 that works itself out I'm crossing my

2:41 cross your fingers with me

2:43 please breathe deep it's time

3:04 hear that bird making that noise that's

3:04 how I feel right now because my

3:07 taxes are done and what I have to mail

3:10 the government is in

3:12 this envelope it's unfortunate that

3:14 there's no swimming here cuz I feel like

3:17 just diving in and washing it all away

3:20 just wash it all away one thing is for

3:23 sure it is way less stressful and easier

3:26 on the heart and the soul and the mind

3:28 to have someone who knows what they're

3:30 doing tally everything up and find stuff

3:32 that you may have missed that was a

3:35 great experience

3:38 however I I owe a little money here in a

3:40 bit I'm going to head to the bank get a

3:42 cashier check drop it in the mail and

3:45 send Old uny

3:48 Samuel his Moola all I have to say is

3:51 thank goodness for ride offs because

3:54 without those it would make things way

3:57 more difficult all in all

4:00 they take about 25% of what your net

4:04 income is your gross income is

4:07 everything that you have made before the

4:09 writeoffs the net I think it's the net

4:12 right that is what you make after the

4:16 ride offs the government is going to

4:18 take about 25 give or take one quarter

4:23 of that amount of money so obviously the

4:26 less that whole total is the less you're

4:28 going to owe but you're still going to

4:29 have to take a quarter out of every

4:31 dollar and hand it over to someone else

4:34 that's disappointing someone has spray

4:36 painted The Old Sugar Mill I have

4:38 prepared myself for today though

4:41 everything I make I take about 20% of

4:43 that and I put it in a separate savings

4:45 account that way when this particular

4:48 moment comes every year I have like a

4:50 little nest egg and I'm not going super

4:53 far in debt to pay those bills so

4:56 whether you work a normal 9 to-5 job

4:58 punch a clock or whether you're

4:59 self-employed make your own schedule you

5:02 will end up having to pay taxes it is

5:06 inevitable what's the famous saying

5:08 there are only two things that are

5:09 definite in life death and taxes and

5:13 that's 100% true oh if only we could

5:15 live our life like the

5:17 groundhog there's no taxation

5:20 underground you know what I don't even

5:22 know that's it might not even be

5:23 groundhog tracks that might just be dirt

5:25 piled up there for no reason freedom

5:33 I feel like a mix between Braveheart and

5:33 Andy defrain from Sha Shank Redemption

5:35 right now I've come out clean on the

5:38 other side the taxed man

5:41 comeing sometimes he gives but most of

5:44 the time he taketh away the reason I

5:48 stopped off here real quick is cuz that

5:49 Sugar Mill was a location of my very

5:52 first Adventure video basically the

5:54 beginnings of my YouTube career little

5:57 did I know back then that I would be t

5:59 tax at on such

6:02 Endeavors life's funny that's right

6:04 fowl the

6:44 accomplished by the end of the day they

6:46 will have their cash and I will be my

6:49 mind will be set at ease ah Bank of

6:52 America we meet again which makes me

6:55 wonder are taxes worse in America than

6:58 they are in other countries I'm not

7:00 familiar with Taxation and other areas

7:03 of the world makes me

7:27 wonder oh my gosh that took so much

7:27 longer than I thought it would would

7:29 there was an issue with my signature so

7:31 I had to sit down at a desk and then

7:33 they end up trying to enroll me in some

7:36 new thing I've been with Bank of America

7:38 probably 15

7:40 years it's good bank I haven't had any

7:42 major issues but man I was in there I

7:44 was in there a long time I have not been

7:46 to this post office in years back in the

7:50 early 2000s I would sell on eBay I would

7:53 come up here almost every day to ship

7:55 things out then shortly after that I had

7:57 a po. box here it's probably been 2

8:00 years since I've been on this property I

8:02 don't know where I came up with that

8:03 time frame it's been longer than that

8:06 time flies pretty quickly oh my gosh I

8:09 don't even want to get out of this car

8:11 look at that guy get out of here get out

8:14 of here I don't want you around here

8:16 wasp goodness gracious look at that

8:19 where is he is he gone I think he's gone

8:22 my goodness

8:34 not you need any more than 50 I can now

8:34 say the checks in the mail and I shipped

8:37 it Priority with a tracking number just

8:40 to be on the safe side this morning I

8:41 started with zero and then one now I'm

8:43 up to three envelopes there is a random

8:45 boat dangling from the sky not sure what

8:50 the significance of that is I'm sure

8:52 there's a purpose my bank account is a

8:53 little bit less than it was you know

8:55 couple hours ago my savings has been

8:58 moderately depleted

9:00 however I am not in debt and that my

9:02 friends is a wonderful thing a little

9:04 pre-planning goes a heck of a long way

9:08 and really helps in the sanity

9:10 departments I feel pretty dang good

9:12 right now I feel a little bit better if

9:14 I was getting some money back or didn't

9:15 have to pay a dime that's not the case

9:17 however look top of the roof has been

9:21 sneezed on or someone has splashed

9:24 coffee SL soda it wasn't me don't blame

9:27 me this was like it when I got the

9:28 rental car

9:29 but it's pretty disgusting I don't know

9:32 why I didn't notice it when I picked it

9:33 up but I'm noticing it now actually I've

9:36 noticed it for a

9:38 while pretty nasty when I return this in

9:40 a couple weeks should I say something or

9:43 should I just let it slide maybe it'll

9:44 go unnoticed just like he went unnoticed

9:47 on the person who rented this car before

9:49 me cuz if I say something they might

9:51 think that I did it and I'm trying to

9:53 hide it but if I don't say something

9:56 then they might not even pay attention

9:57 to it at all

10:00 I don't know what to do what do I do

10:02 America stretch out your golden wings
