We are happy and proud to announce that our childhood dream of being married to a "wealthy" man has come true. It is so exciting to anticipate the life of sumptuous ease; European vacations, summer homes, fabulous cars, what the heck, a chauffeur, maids, and more.
For the last couple of years, Barry has preached that his economic plan would only raise taxes on the "wealthy". He swore the middle class taxpayers would NOT be affected. As of January 1, 2013, our breadwinner learned that his taxes have gone up on average by 8%, which means our disposable income has been reduced by 8%, on average. Being as the "wealthy" was to be the only group to suffer this extra burden, we have to conclude that we have become "wealthy".
We are, also, confused. We always thought that when one becomes "wealthy", one has MORE disposable income, not less. After a lifetime of aspiring to reach the level of being "wealthy", we must admit the result is a bit anti-climactic, not to speak of disappointing.
Now, we have learned that we are going to become even "wealthier" during 2013 as there will be a dozen or so new taxes connected to Obamacare imposed upon us. Don't think we are ungrateful for our blessing but, quite frankly, if we become much "wealthier", our household budget is going to be forced to revert back to the Ramen noodle days.
