It’s just about time to 交税 (pay taxes) to the 税务局 (tax bureau).  Hopefully nobody went over their 预算 (budget) for this year and were able to be a little bit 节约 (economical) rather than 贪钱 (greedy).  Hopefully you were able to 存钱 (deposit money) into your account and have it noted on your 存折 (bankbook).  If you’re going to pay taxes, it might make more sense to use a 支票 (check) rather than 汇款 (wire money).  Remember that if you’re going to claim work expenses that you’re going to need thorough 发票 (receipts) to do so.  Stay tuned for my next installment on money!
