Retro!!

So after 3 months of waiting and waiting and waiting! My raise and RETRO pay finally arrived! I'm so excited...particially...they taxed the SHIT out of it. For the 3 months of not having my raise when I should have (only $1.25 more) I got $652 in retro. Then on top of that I got my paycheck. Which is usually almost $300. Well after both combined I walked away with at $737 paycheck?? A little over $300 went to taxes :( Then after bills I'm down to $80. I was quite happy now I'm just right back where I was...life...
