Taxes for instance, not sure how you faired this year but for my wife and I, I'm an experienced nurse and my wife is a hair salon manager who makes as much as I do. We make a healthy living but nothing extreme. We paid a little over $26k in taxes for 2013 and still had to owe the Federal gov another $6k making our total $32,300 in taxes. That is absolutely ridiculous!!
