TAXES
and the
AXIS
THIS is the most costly war of all time and
everyone of us might as well recognize
the fact that we will be paying for it for
years in the form of higher taxes.
Our advice is this: Make taxes pert of your
budget. There are many reasons why you
should provide for taxes in advance — but
the best reason is that it’s plain common
sense. A bank account provides a convenient
way to accumulate tax money.
