I'm with you. I grew up dirt poor and have busted my arse for the past 35 years for the priviledge to earn too much. I don't get crap in this deal and I am pissed.
Me too.
I hope everyone has fun spending my money! Believe it or not, I worked hard to earn it and with two kids in college I wouldn't have minded getting some of it back.
I have half a mind to quit my second job, lower my income and the associated taxes and just enjoy myself more...
