"Now comes April 15, estimated taxes (and hoping I don't owe any from last year)"
I guess luckilly (heh, depends on your perspective) we get raped on taxes during the year and end up with a refund when we file. The only reason we get a refund period though, is due to owning property (that mortgage interest saves our asses).
"and then on May first, $2,000 Arlington real estate tax, payment 1 of 4."
Ours is built into our mortgage payment through an escrow account and I thought that was kind of standard (but maybe its not?).
"What's my point? Oh, nothing, just comisserating. :-)"
Hey, why not! Its nice to bitch about these boring adult things with friends from time to time :)
