My $88.67 tax bill...(a short story)

Published: Thu, 10/20/11

yo, it's Eric!

So I got a notice that my personal bank account

was being levied for an AZ state tax of $88.67

and that there was a mandatory 21 day hold on

all my accounts rendering them useless. I couldn't

even withdraw cash to pay the bill if I wanted to!

Thank goodness for having a business account!

haha. Long story short (I'll spare you the drama),

I fired my accountant, I was upset at first because

I didn't know where this came from, I thought it

was paid a LONG time ago, there was no warning

(or so I thought) it was just BAMB!, we're freezing

your accounts! (I didn't even know they could do

that!) Come to find out, the state of AZ was sending

notice to my old address and not to my new one

so I didn't find out until I got a notice from the bank!

Needless to say I got it taken care of but it just shows

that if you don't take ownership of your finances and

rely entirely on other people it could come back to

bite you in the ass like it did me. Take ownership of your

your finances, accept responsibility for where you're

at in your life and make the necessary adjustments

to move forward. It's your ability to adapt and laugh

about situations like this that will determine your

outcome.

To YOUR success,

Eric Wilkes
