The HST bill came in yesterday, and all I can say is – Ouch! Not quite as bad as the Income Tax bill, but enough to leave a lasting mark on my account. Yeesh! Not a fun two months paying these bills. Now I’m going to need those invoices to start pouring in left & right. On the plus side I do have some to go out in the next few weeks, so I’ll puff up a tad. Which just means more woes for tax time next year – Ha! The never ending cycle.
I should give more thought to going full time in-house somewhere, only the thought of a commute, and being around other people for 60 hours a week, makes me feel queasy. Not to mention the added cost of pre & post school child care, travel costs with gas and the train, I’m not certain how much further we’d come out ahead. Not to mention only seeing my kids for spits and spurts in the evenings, or on weekends. I love’em too much to not see them every single day, and be there for pick up & drop off. Maybe a part time job to keep money flowing inbetween my busy sessions might be worthwhile looking into. Manual labour to keep me from developing RSI on my wrists from being at a computer 24/7. Who knows. I’ll look into it.
I may just need to pick up a new client to fill some gaps. Or talk inactive clients into doing some new & exciting design work this year.
Well I gotta go cut my jungle of a lawn. Chat again soon. Ciao Bella!
