I actually live in Naperville which is a pretty expensive suburb but it is cheap when it comes to rent. We are really lucky we have 2 bd 2 bath apartment. We have to pay all of our own utilities though.

once you pass a certain braket your get txed up the @ss regarldess how much they took..its by bracket...better get a good accountant to fix you up.or get some rrsp's asap!

We've got a *great* accountant!!!! She charges a hundred dollars and can get you retunrs on *everything*!!

Love herrr!!

SArah

I'm still in the same bracket. for last yr at least cause of my mat leave. And I have RRSP's thanks for thinking 'bout me.

Did you start and RESP for Christian? If not I have a great lady you can call. I started his the first month he was born.

Yikes When I got my Christmas "efficency check" (bonus) they took $200.00 from a $600.00 check just because it was a bonus!!! I work for a not for profit so whatever is left in my units budget after the year is over is divided up amongst the 3 of us. That is a lot of taxes. On the plus side for the first time in 2 years we are getting refunds!!! Mark works for his dad on the farm in the summer and those checks are not taxed so at the end of the year we owe for them. But this year we finally got enough out of our paychecks (oh and we bought a house that helped alot.)
