i would have to spend 11,538 on *taxable* items to pay $1500 in a year. - Andie Feb 17, 12:38 17
- right, unless you're Sarah Jessica Parker with clothes, you're not getting there. -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 12:39 9
  - No, but I'm not *that* far either - Guigue Feb 17, 12:41 8
    - What's taxed there? Mortgage....rent.....anything that is a transaction? - Will Hunting Feb 17, 12:43 5
      - Yeah, very few would ever hit $18,000 per household. That was my bad. However, most services get hit. Clothes. Cars. New homes. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 17, 12:48
      - not everything. and it varies by province. but generally things like groceries, no tax, resale houses, no tax, some places kids clothes, no tax. -- nm - Andie Feb 17, 12:44 3
        
        Yeah, then you'd have to be absurdly spendy to reach this level. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 17, 12:46 1
        
        (and Guigue was trying to figure if he go to that figure in a *year* not a *month*.) -- nm - Andie Feb 17, 12:47
        
        No taxes on hard drugs and hookers either - Guigue Feb 17, 12:45
    - (Which doesn't much matter much in the dicsussion anyway, since we're comparing month vs. year. I'm just saying) - Guigue Feb 17, 12:43 1
      - (I'm not drunk BTW, not really) -- nm - Guigue Feb 17, 12:44
- How about you and Dave combined? Because the Cobra payments are household costs, are they not? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 17, 12:39 6
  - are you telling me that a *couple* would get Cobra coverage, for a *year*, for $1500? no, that's monthly. - Andie Feb 17, 12:41 2
    - No, not $1,500 a month, no. But have you ever really looked at how much tax you do pay? - Name Withheld By Request Feb 17, 12:45 1
      - of course i do. -- nm - Andie Feb 17, 12:47
  - Oh shit. Totally went over my head that it was annual vs monthly. Call off the dogs. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 17, 12:41 1
    - Right, that was my way of highlighting the gap. -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 12:44
  - and *monthly*. -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 12:41
