I sat down and did my taxes tonight. Damn. I was really hoping to get back more than I am. And, I admit to being pretty much an idiot about such things, but what does it mean that my adjusted gross income is actually over $1,000 less than it was last year? Does this mean that, even though my salary, technically, has not changed, I am actually making less? (Due to the various shifting of this tax and that withholding, blah, blah, blah, or whatever.) It's all just too depressing.
