I do appreciate YOUR response. Truth be told, I spent the better part of a decade stuck at the same job I am in now. I had finally had enough and went to college for something I am passionate about (Nutrition), but covid hit right when I graduated. Everything shut down. I was forced back into my past life, and fell deep again into despair. Covid-19 it's self did nothing to me, but the lockdowns and mandates took those 5 years I spent in college trying to start a new life. Now I know that I am using that as an excuse, but it all came at a pivotal moment for me. My ambition, progress, and momentum to change was thwarted. My anger isn't all because of TurboTax, but I am tired of what seems like life in general, kicking me, and kicking me at every turn. Turbotax, and taxation on us simpletons, is just a symptom of the larger system that preys on the small and pointless human lives that make up the day to day grind. In all honesty, 150$ is nothing, but what it represents, the hard labor, the drudgery, the monotony, and toil is why it makes me so angry to lose it, and to lose it all because of my own ignorance and naiveite just pisses me the **bleep** off to no end. Peace be with you, and thank you for offering some actual kind advice. I will learn from my mistakes and become wiser in spite of them.
