Money Matters

So, I wasn't too far off when I expressed my distrust towards the tax authorities back in the spring.

After adjusting the papers slightly, I now got the final verdict, in which the nice 250 Euros extra for Christmas turned out, once again, into over a hundred Euros owed :( I went to the tax office yesterday because I really couldn't understand how they came up with the new figures. Turns out that they messed up last year, and I should've paid the money already back then. So obviously there's nothing I can do; the only thing is that I'm really pissed at having to pay the tax twice for my 2007 income, rather than paying once for 2006 and once for 2007. Argh.

In any case, it seems that my life is revolving too much around money matters at the moment. Payments this way and that, calculating whether I can earn a bit more this year and so on. Too stressful. I should hire an accountant.
