Hey guys,
so I worked a lot in the past years and managed to generate some revenue. Its not that much, but enough that they now want thousands $ of taxes from me. It makes me extremely angry, that I have put so much work, time and energy into something (probably had an hourly rate of a few dollars) and now someone just takes half of it from me. (For reference, I have a full-time job as well, thats why every additional penny earned is taxed with the highest tax rate).
I hate my government, and I would rather burn the money, or donate it to Jeff Bezos, than give it to them. But of course if you don't, you end up in prison. Im am very frustrated and feel that it is very unfair, that I worked so many hours, I sacrificed a lot of free time and even my relationships suffered from it. I probably earned 2 Dollars per hour for all the work and now I get robbed by half of it, so I legit worked for 1 Dollar per hour. Why should I even continue?
How do you deal with this feeling? How do you keep going and not loose your drive through this experience?
