Exactly!

I'm still reeling from the reduction in my bank account. It was hard pressing the submit payment button for the IRS and Franchise Tax Board

As a wage slave on direct deposit, out of sight, out of mind... But at tax time, the total is depressingly large...

Re: Tax Question: Accelerating deductions for 2005

It's even more depressing when you have to add several thousand to what's been taken out of your paycheck every two weeks. I have to start reminding one of my partners about two weeks before the due date, he just can't bear to pay taxes, his mind blanks it out so much so that he's been late several times to the tune of a couple thousand in penalties.
