DEAR HARRIETTE: I feel stuck, and I am not sure what to do. I have worked on and off for a few years now after having had a good job for decades. After my work situation changed, I stopped doing everything, including my taxes. I know today is Tax Day, but I have done absolutely nothing to file. It's almost like I took myself off the grid, but I'm worried that what little money I am earning will be taken away — or worse — if I don't get it together and get up to date. As my mother used to say, 'You don't have to do anything in life other than pay taxes and die.' Why am I being so irresponsible? I can't seem to shake out of it. What do you recommend I do to turn this around? — No More Hiding DEAR NO MORE HIDING: Congratulations for looking your problem in the face. The only way to resolve this is to address it, and you are right: You must file your taxes. The government does not forget you if you neglect it!
The fact is, I am spoiled. I never get sick. I've never spent a night in a hospital since I was born (and then, my mother stayed with me). I've never broken a bone. I've never had a major operation. I am absurdly healthy, and I can take no credit for any of this. So, naturally, when I get sick, I am insufferable.
