Better Late than Never (April 2025 scapegoat blame thread)

Not only did you get the dubious honor of being April’s scapegoat, but you got the bonus of a few days less blame because I didn’t have my act together. (Which we all know if your fault.)

Thanks @ItalianScallion for being our victim in March.

And @FreePasta, are you giving out free Gummi Fettucine to celebrate your reign?

Continuing blame over being selected for jury duty: In court Tue-Fri; judge said the trial will continue next Tuesday. The prosecution has rested; the defense has just begun.

Blame: I owed Uncle Sam $$$. Again.

Unblame: I only owed the state another $17. That’s less than what I’ve ~~wasted~~ spent on catshirts before.

- @narfcake I’ll join you on this blame for both federal and state taxes. I’ll also lay some blame for my mistake in selling shares from the wrong mutual fund that cost me a bundle extra in capital gain taxes.

- @narfcake I feel your pain (and then some!). Being retired (i.e., no regular paycheck with deductions) makes it tricky for paying quarterly estimated taxes. We missed big time for 2024, resulting in a couple of 4-figure fed/state payments. (Ouch!)
