I’ll just think about it....is he being racist or was it just a sleep of tongue....I can call him red neck if he doesn’t mind. Anyway I’m still new to the system.

Nah, if he's white raised here, its not a slip.

Hi guys, what do ya'll think about the use of the n_word. Honestly I find it nauseating and I take offense if anyone attempt to use it on me. I had a few issues with some brother calling me that and they think I am a sellout for trying to be different.
You get mad when a pale skinned person call you that but you don't give a shit when you use each on each other. That sucks.

I dont like it. I don't use it, nor do I like others to use it black or white. But unless the person is white, I just shrug it off.

Guy Abeg park go one corner who u wan vex for.. Unemployment is at a record low at the moment, my income is way above my cost of living, Tax cut , HB1 cessation opened up more job opportunity for me specifically that's enough for me to vote him back.. I juggle between three jobs and planning to take the fourth one ..More jobs are pouring in except you are listening to fake news CNN. If you are working in the freezing cold its not anynodys fault Mr man..
...

Its obvious we don't see things from the same angle,i really understand that and our purpose and expectations differs as well .With Trump or no Trump,an employee is assured of his wages at the end of the day but i speak from the position of a business owner.I just mentioned factors that affect most businesses but you need to understand job growth only don't drive economy,and if you think Trump taking jobs from others so you can have 3 or 4 jobs all to yourself at once is your own idea of creating jobs,and doing 4 jobs at once is a perfect idea of good living....i leave you to your realities.
That i said i work in the cold doesn't mean i dig roads or plowing snow for a living,its just a way of saying i defy the weather cold or hot by investing in my business in term of resources and efforts and nobody should take that credit away from me.

Thank you!

Even the interest rate that he/she is complaining about that keeps rising...I guess people have not be reading some of Trump's tweets about how's he's been complaining about the Feds increasing the interest rates and even talked about if there was a possibility he could change the person he appointed to head the Feds.
....

Funny,he complains about his appointee not following his policy and still leave him on the job but fired Jeff Sessions as head of DOJ just because he recused himself from Russia probe.
Exactly my point,most Trump fans are pure jerks.

Is TurboTax the best program out there? Mine should be simple but I’ll rather use a software to save me the stress. This is also my first time.

Were you able to get your taxes done ok?

I did, but the returns scared me. The amount if paid by IRS will make my paid tax less than 7%.... Anyway no state tax in Nevada.

I guess if you just got married towards the end of last year and also had a kid, and bought a property too. I have not really seen anyone get crazy tax return this year. Lucky you

quite the opposite, registered as single, no child that’s a legal residence or citizen, no car in my name, no rent...I live with my relatives. For now consider me a work and eat residence grin I don’t even have a credit record.

Hmmm, lucky you.

Either way, most people get their full state tax refunds back...it's the Federal taxes that get very tricky.

Most people might be getting less Federal refunds this year might be because they have paid less in taxes last year due to some jobs deciding to make the new forms available to their employees to pay less taxes and have more take home.

Some even got raises with their income last year over what they earned in 2017.

So yes, the more take home means the less Federal taxes you end up paying...as a result you refunds this year will end up being low.

Do you celebrate Valentine's?
I am more traditionally minded and dint usually care about valentine or Christmas. I only have regard for Easter because that is the essence of my faith.
However, I just follow the trend and celebrate so I wouldn't look weird. Nosey ass neighbors and coworkers are quick to call you out when they find you strange.

It's not weird actually. There are more people than you realize who dont celebrate these commercialized holidays. Be weird and try not to care what people who in the end aren't contributing or really care about your wellbeing think of you.

Now that being said, I do get suckered in because I enjoy giving and receiving gifts, so I have to pick a struggle

I like gifts too but I get pissed off when someone tries to give me an expensive gift. I hate having to owe anyone for anything and then it feels like you have to give them something more expensive. Just take me to Golden Coral and my day is made. grin

sighhhhhh! 3 years back, if you tell me PDP and Atiku will be an option today, I would have laughed at you silly.

As for fit....we all know who’s fit. But that’s not a deciding factor in Nigeria.

I have vowed to never talk about Politics in Nigeria anymore. Nigerians prefer their oppressors. If you steal big money they like you, if u talk sense they hate you. Its a psychological issue.
