ONE WORD TRIGGERS

TRIGGER: Easy
Why do we make things so complicated?It seems to me that we (the human race) get some perverse enjoyment out of making things difficult and complicated when there is usually a much simpler option available to us.
Sure, difficult is more challenging.
But do we always have to be challenged?
Does it make the end goal or reward that much sweeter?
The result is still the same, so why do things the hard way?
This week quite a few events and tasks have prompted me to think that, for once, why can’t it be easy?
I for one would gladly take the easy option over the difficult one when the end result is the same.
So the trigger is…

The end of another financial/tax year coming up (5th April). Now it’s time for Tax Assessment and then there’s the VAT Return (Purchase Tax) to pay…will it never end?
After years of paying tax each month via my salary, I still can’t get used to being self-employed and submitting an annual return…it just seems like so much money to be paid in one go….frightening!
