I found out that if you don’t tell Social Security to take withholding out of your monthly check, they don’t. And then, come tax time, instead of the refund you have spent your entire life receiving and blowing on some silliness like groceries or penny slot machines, you have to pay. And pay a lot. OK, maybe not a lot for Mitt Romney or Bill Clinton. But for those of us in the trenches, it’s a lot.
Task for today… call social security and change withholding.
