When I started to pay income tax, I was 50 years old.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It used to be 65 when you went into retirement. Before that, when you got into your 50s, you were getting older.
My mum says that I was born 45, and I do remember at six thinking that I should be earning my own living.
I didn't pay my taxes for years.
I was on food stamps until I was 18 and became an adult.
I'm not bothered by the idea of getting old, or I guess you could say by having arrived at old. I was 10 when my mom turned 55. For 1955, she was a very old mom.
Because of what I did when I was 10 years old, I'm not living from paycheck to paycheck, and I can do things because I want to do them.
When you reach a certain age in life, time becomes more important than money, and I think that happens in your 50s.
This year, when I turn 65, I thought, 'So weird;' when I was a kid, people who were 65 either retired or died. I'm so nowhere near that.
I have always paid income tax. I object only when it reaches a stage when I am threatened with having nothing left for my old age - which is due to start next Tuesday or Wednesday.
I used to get taxed on my allowance. Yeah, I've been taxed since I was a little kid. And at the end of the year I had to pick a charity to donate my taxes to.
