Taxing Taxes part 2

The good news is, we got our tax returns already! Woo hoo - it came in quick! The bad news is, that a chunk of it has already disappeared to pay land taxes. However, this year, my husband and I paid our land taxes on time. We usually incur a penalty fee for having it in late. We try to save money to pay it when it is due, but you know how it goes. Some unexpected expense pops up just in time to wipe out the savings. At least the saga of taxes is complete for this year.
