So, Tax Day has Com & Gone. What's Left?

It is time to re-visit the financial planner. The price of fuel is driving up the costs of driving (who knew?), food (have you priced a gallon of milk lately?), and even clothes. And anything left over?
Property taxes are killing what little we have left.

I feel a deep depression coming on, and I'm not talking about the stock market.
