Realized if it weren't for....

the food program and my state subsidized kids, I wouldn't be able to make it financially. Their combined payment was half my other income! From time to time I entertain the thought of quitting the food program; I don't know why really. It's not all that bad but I figured since it's kind of a wash come tax time why bother right? Guess I'll stick with it.

Yes, because otherwise you have the expense but not the income to balance it. You may pay more in tax because of the difference, but most of the fp money is income after taxes.

I've thought the same thing! Every little bit helps especially when finances are tight!

My fp ****s. I have to write everything on paper because of a clerical error they have which prevents me from getting computerized via Minute Menu. With that said... I still will take some money over no money.
