The whole thing drives my husband crazy...he likes to do things way in advance, and I, on the other hand, let things go till the last minute...sometimes that causes friction, but he does indulge me on this income tax thing...
In the days when we had kids at home, and mortgage and credit card interest, and sometimes even got the earned income credit, we would file immediately...but those days are long gone, and we are dealing in minute sums of money, so for some reason, it just seems unimportant, and nagging problem to be dealt with at the last minute...
Mrs. lodwick's dad was a career AirForce officer, so her upbringing was "everything in its place" and be ready to move the family every two years or so. After almost 24 years, I'm bringing her around to my way of thinking - she almost believes that October 15th is the proper time for tax filing. ;-)
