yawn, big deal, and the small extra costs are tax deductable.
Retirement savings is up to you.
um... yeah that’s sort of the whole point! and you’ll have a lot more money to save by working for yourself.
You pay all Social Security and Medicare taxes
um... no. No you don’t pay ANY social security or medicare taxes! that’s one of the BIGGEST reasons to work for yourself. And the best part is... you will still get BOTH by appling for the benefits under your spouses name.”””
