I make 134,000 a year on paper.

My take home every other week is 4,124.00
My actual income before taxes is 5,108.00

I get over 900 dollars taken out every two weeks! That’s a F*cking fifth of my income.

AND, I always OWE money to the irs at the end of the year.

I have two small children and I am married.

Edit: I was a bit off, Exact numbers:
