April 2025: Money
It was the poet T.S. Eliot who once lamented that “April is the cruelest month”. Ben Franklin famously said, “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes”. And then there is Pink Floyd who captured the sentiment of so many, “Money. Get Back! I'm alright, Jack, keep your hands off my stack...Money. It's a crime. Share it fairly, but don't take a slice of my pie”. Anyone who has ever looked closely at a paycheck to see the deductions can appreciate those lyrics. It doesn’t mean that we have to enjoy paying those taxes, however.
