If you make 100k you owe a certain % based on your withholding and If you made 500k same thing. The taxes are calculated by your employer. It’s quite straight forward math wise.

I would find much better use for $500 a month than some sort of random “bonus” at the end of the year.

Following the "new normal" for Charlotte it rained all weekend, so I didn't do much this weekend, the highlight being some

Other than that, tackled a few small indoor projects, bought a bunch of liquor and chilled. The wife and I did a little airBNB experience date yesterday as a Valentine's Day COVID friendly thing. It was a Zoom call with a lady in Italy and a few other people where we made some limoncello. Kind of as we went to the Amalfi Coast a few years ago, fun to bring back memories and a way to break up the monotony. The limoncello takes a few days so we can't drink it yet, but future should be fun.

Quite the trip. Seems I delivered winter to everywhere I went except South Florida.

it's okay, south Florida already has enough to deal with, being FloriDUH and all.

Shoveled around 3" of snow in ~5F temps on Saturday. Yesterday I decided I wanted to try taking a walk in 1F temps for , just to see what it felt like. I was plenty warm enough wearing long johns under sweats, and just a sweatshirt under my big parka, and a headband to cover my ears, plus boots and mittens. I was actually sweating by the time I got back home 40 minutes later. My coat is warm. The worst thing was, if I covered my mouth and nose my glasses would fog up heavily so I had to alternate covering and uncovering my snout. That, and I could feel my eyelashes freeze together every time I blinked. That was interesting.

It started snowing again last night. There was maybe 2" on the ground when I left for work this morning, and the temp was 0F. We're supposed to get maybe 5-6" in my area before it stops tomorrow morning, with areas closer to the lake getting up to a foot or more. Looks like I'll be shoveling again tonight after dinner.
This is shaping up to be quite a winter.

Monday is tough today for some reason.

Limoncell is fantastic home made. The hardest part is waiting (and it's worth it).

Sounds like you guys had a fun weekend despite being stuck inside. We were inside too, snow finally came probably have 10" total right now and more is falling right now.

Trying to make the best of it but still in a bit of a funk. Honestly, has been a really great partner constantly trying to cheer me up and make me see the good, as well as provide some more fun ideas of stuff we can do in COVID winter. I am thankful for this as I've been a bit of a wet blanket.

It's the opposite in my household. I'm the one trying to cheer up by making her feel better about the positives and coming up with fun things to do. It's been really taxing for me, and I've had so/so results so far. She still seems pretty

This has traditionally been more the case in my relationship... the wife has had far more to overcome in life with both parents being drunks/drug addicts, a shit family, etc. She is normally much more of an emotional roller coaster than I (I was traditionally Mr. Positivity) but of late, I am and she has really helped. It makes me feel good observing that it is indeed a two way street. At some points I have certainly felt like I was the one giving much more.

Sorry to hear you're still with the I take it she is now back from Orange County Heaven?

You guys are getting hammered down there. We have some snow now, but nothing like the totals you're seeing. Still not as cold here either, it hasn't been below 0 yet.

It certainly is making up for last year. We were getting sleet over the weekend, and I think more freezing rain is due tonight.

This is some crazy stuff man, I've never felt sub zero F temps

I walk in what is cold to me a lot lately... it's by me, just have to bundle up nicely. It is tougher in the wet and to engage in activities when you need more mobility with your hands like wrenching cars
