I remember twenty years ago when my son got his first paycheck and said to me, "dad, I just got my first paycheck and you'll never guess how much they took out". I said, "I think I have a very good idea and delinated all the deductions for him. When he asked, "how did you know".

I said, "welcome to the world of reality".

He was incredulous they took so much money out of his paycheck.
