The frying pan was starting to be quite comfortable, but somebody tried to do a 'chef' flip of this particular omlet/pancake and I have been returned to the fire. (so now you are thinking..what the hell?!") I having been running one very small step ahead of my financial problems for a while now. Today that short distance was eliminated. The office of the West Virginia Department of Taxation, pretty much could care less if you don't have money...If anyone out there believes that it won't catch up to you, you are mistaken. I now have a levy on my wages that will make being able to survive and pay bills completely impossible. (I am sure that there are at least 2 people who will find this news to be amusing and something to celebrate. I'd like to remind them if I had not been foolishly generous with my retirement money I would not be in this position, however HE would. I regret my act of saving his ass now, believe me, I really do. It turns out that he was not worthy of my sacrifice.)
Why?? Because he has never truly appreciated the problems it has caused me, and that my life, ever since that act, has been one of pure frustration.
No one cares that the money was used to pay back taxes. No one cares that I have a check that was cashed by the Treasury Department showing that I paid his taxes with my 401 K. The only thing they care about is getting more money from me as a penalty. There is not one person from state or federal tax groups that gives a flying F--- what the money was used for. I find it all so very surreal. The Catch-22 from hell.
If nothing else I hope that at least God knows that I did something out of love. Misguided and rosy glasses in place when I did so, but yes it was out of love. It's funny, the reason I did pay it was to keep his check from being levied. I have no idea how I am going to be able to maintain with this levy. No rich uncles, no sugar daddies, no lottery wins in sight for this gal. *Making ends meet with less than $250 a check? They are taking close to 80% of my take home.* I will continue to fight my battle as best as I can. I am already scrambling and fighting it with all my might. I will find out if my puny efforts will meet success fairly quickly, since there is little time left to defend myself.
I'd run..but know what? There is no where to run to. So I have to stand and face it. I once joked about living out of my car..that could now end up being my reality.
Wishes for good luck and prayers will always be appreciated.
