Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for April 13, 2013

Only when you demonstrate a failure to understand what a true business expense is, Cathy! eye roll

She’d probably get refunds every year if she’d simply adjust her payroll withholdings and learned to live within her means.

Oh, wait — Cathy, live within her means? HAHAHAHAHA!

And from what I’ve read, people who own their own business or claim a “home office” get audited more than average. And Cathy is demonstrating exactly why! What a wonderful example she is on what NOT to do. ;-)Hello legaleagle, Susan, shyygirl, Macushlalondra, GretchensMom, catsarge, lindz.coop, rgcviper, Teresa, hendelca, kittycatpawsare and the rest of the Cathy clan!@catsarge – Aren’t you in North Georgia? We just got home from an overnight trip to the outlets in Dawsonville and then we stayed overnight in Amicalola. The girls and I did the 604+ stairs down (and then another 604+ back up) to the bottom of the falls. That sure woke us up and I’m glad we did it!The good news is that I think the exercise helped my back. It’s feeling much better and I’m not hunched over the way I have been. Plus it has encouraged me to start exercising again. It’s been so busy getting ready for the inlaws and everything else that I’ve slacked off on that. I just wish there weren’t clouds of pollen everywhere! Yuck!!

The line between home and office is a blur to her? Cathy doesn’t even work while she’s at work!!! And as far as working at/from home? I don’t think I’ve ever seen her do that either! She’s coming across as just another person trying to cheat the government out of what she legitimately owes them while the rest of us play by the rules so that our lives aren’t made a living hell in every possible way by the “Infernal” Revenue Service!!!!! :-(

Hi, rgcviper!

hendelca: Haven’t heard from you in a few days. How are you doing?

lightenup: Sounds like you had a lot of fun on your over-night trip. Glad to hear your back is feeling better these days!

legaleagle48: Cathy living within her means? What a hilariously funny concept where she’s concerned!! If she could hear you make that statement, she’d probably say: “WTF are you talking about?!” Your cracking yourself up cracks ME up!!!!! ;-)

Hello and Happy Saturday, fellow “Cathy” fanatics! Hope everyone’s having a really great weekend so far!!!

Hi Cathyites!! I do find her creativity amusing — shoes for pounding the pavement, diet books for downsizing, poopers for security :)

Look, look—in the last panel, Cathy did the [eye-roll] for us. She’s learning!

HI, MOM. Hello, Clan.
