sorry I'm upset.

that is really hard - I'm sorry about this - have you asked your boss if you can get a raise five years is a long time to go with out a wage increase.

sorry I'm upset.

I'm sorry your going thru this - have you asked your boss(s) for a raise 5 years is a long time to not get a raise.

I'm just surprised since I made 10.55$ and 10.60 at both my PART TIME jobs, because no one hires FT nor pays a LIVING WAGE or at least something that KEEPS UP WITH INFLATION. I LOVE the fact that my bus pass is going up YET AGAIN, yet my wage hasn't INCREASED in the past 5 years. WTF.

I'm a GREAT contributor to the ECONOMY. NOT. I LOVE it when corporations have RECORD profits yet can't see fit to SHARE the wealth.

I am surprised that you owe so much. You may want to have someone else double check your income tax to make sure that there wasn't a mistake made. Otherwise one or both of your employers was not taking the correct amount of income tax off your cheques. Hopefully its just a mistake and you don't actually owe that much...

Hi everyone!
I've posted my latest update on my first post on page 1 again.
So far, I've spent less than $20 this month, plus Rent and Phone/Internet. This month should be the last Internet bill; they bill an extra month after cut-off. Will finish posting my final update and balances at end of month, plus the budget for May.
So far, so good; some emotional ups and downs, but that's nothing new to me...it's the life of a music teacher...a full range of human emotions.
I thank the Lord for working in me to keep that under control, and for helping me to cope. Bye for now!

Sorry to hear that lekate. Was wondering if your part time jobs know about each other? Cause I did a quick calculation that is you make roughly $20000/year at one place in ON you would pay about $2000 in tax. If you worked two jobs making $10000/year x2 you'd pay not even $100. So for this year make sure they both know your total approx income?
