Thanks!

I worked day and night for NASA for almost 30 years. After my kids were grown (I raised 10), I decided to retire and do a little consulting on the side. I keep my income under the 15% tax level on purpose, play the deductions, and live just fine. Don't burn yourself up just to pay more taxes, it's easier and far more relaxing to trade time for money you don't really need. Give some to charity. Live in a nice house and keep your cars a little longer.
