arggggggh! I know what you mean Lee. What they don't understand is that if WE don't do the job, it
doesn't get done .. and if it doesn't get done then we don't get paid. We have no one else paying
our salaries. Heck, I'm self employed and am not even drawing a routine salary yet (I get paid once
a year ... after I know what the company can afford).

I worked for someone else until DH and I got together, then he left his job and started up our
business. I'm amazed that we've been able to work together and live together as long as we have.
We've had some trying times though. Did your mom work with your dad or was she a stay at home mom?

I have started explaining it like this: I get what's leftover after
everybody else gets paid, and like most leftovers, they don't usually taste
as good unless you are really hungry. And I can tell you I do get hungry,

There was a period when mom did his bookkeeping but not that long. She was more or less stay-at-home
when we were younger but then found all kinds of ways to work. Actually, she was not very stay at
home but was there in the morning and generally in the afternoon but she and her older sister would
run constantly and they created one or two or three businesses over the years - they had fun! (G)
Mom was a bookkeeper way back when and went back to it much later
Brenda Hammond said:
I worked for someone else until DH and I got together, then he left his job and started up our
business. I'm amazed that we've been able to work together and live together as long as we have.
We've had some trying times though. Did your mom work with your dad or was she a stay at home mom?

When DH and I started our business I was just the bookkeeper, which was fine by me. Over time and
since DH got sick I have become the BOSS, salesperson, printer technician, ink refilling person,
cleaning person, etc., etc., along with bookkeeper! I wanna be just the bookkeeper........
My mom had one job when my sister and I were in grades 4 & 5 and my brother just started grade 1.
She was the janitor at the school we went to. It was a really small school, only about 10-12 kids,
so it only took her a few hours to clean it. We played in the playground with some friends while she
cleaned, then we would all walk home together. She only kept the job for a few years, then was a stay-at-
home mom the rest of the years we were in school.

Our accountant told me to start paying myself at least monthly, I just can't bring myself to do it
yet. <g> I will say though, that the yearly salary has worked for me so far. I don't see any of it
though. I pay myself when the college tuition bill is due, it goes straight to the school. But at
least I don't feel like it's a huge chunk out of the family savings when it happens. What I never
see, I don't miss. <g>

We used to take out just what we needed when we needed it. Now though we collect an actual paycheque
with taxes and all that deducted. I then submit those deductions to the feds monthly. It was hard
for me to pay us each every two weeks, but it was time.

I'm sure I'm going to get spoken to about this again when tax time rolls around, don't know what
I'll do. I've learned to live on what hubby brings home, and getting it all in one chunk has worked
well so far. I know my habits, and if I put the money into savings, even to *hold* for tuition time
- I'm not gonna be willing to pull it back out again. <g>
We do all the quarterly tax paperwork, just send the stuff in as '0' - then at the end of the year
we pay the deductions/unemployment/state/ whoever whatever - they all have their hands out.
With you and your hubby both working for your company, I can see why you would want to draw a more
regular paycheck. It would be awful difficult to live with nothing coming in until the end of the
year. I'm good at budgeting, but not sure I'm THAT good.

We can't get away with paying once a year, we send in monthly payments to the provincial government
for sales tax and monthly payments to the feds for payroll deductions/taxes. Every three months we
pay the feds for the goods and services tax. Seems like there are always these huge amounts going

We never used to collect a regular cheque, but paying the income tax once a year was getting to be a

Diggers and pushers of course. <G> We run a construction consulting type firm, very small, have a
few pieces of heavy equipment. Hub actually works for a different company, our equipment is then
leased to their jobs ... we will haul dirt, sell dirt, etc. - anything that brings money in. Our
goal is to keep it operational until the youngest is through with college ... 5 more years, then
dissolve it. I am the only official employee, but hub actually digs up the work, makes the deals and
coordinates it all.

We can't get away with paying once a year, we send in monthly payments to the provincial government
for sales tax and monthly payments to the feds for payroll deductions/taxes. Every three months we
pay the feds for the goods and services tax. Seems like there are always these huge amounts going
out, kind of depressing!
In the US you can set up businesses in several different formats, in regard to taxing benefits (or
so I'm told). Since I'm the only employee, I can submit the paperwork quarterly, but claim I was
paid no salary. Then actually pay the taxes at the end of the year. We have an accountant handle it
all, so far it really makes no sense to me but it keeps the government off my back. <g>

We never used to collect a regular cheque, but paying the income tax once a year was getting to be
a pain in the ass, so now we collect the paycheque and pay our deductions along with the other
employees once a month. Will be better for us come tax time.
Paying once a year isn't a big deal to me. We also have to pay our individual taxes near the same
time. At least I'm only annoyed with the government one time a year. <g>

My son would love your household. As you know he's into the gobblegobbles (gravel trucks), diggers
and pushers. We can't get enough of them here!
