🤩Level Up: Conquering Income Tax as a Gen Z Adult💸

Hey Lemon8🍋 fam!

Gotta admit, this Gen Z is officially stressed Just turned 21 and working full-time for a while now, but paying income tax? Never crossed my mind! Heard whispers from the adulting world (aka friends & family) but never got the full lowdown.

So, imagine my surprise when I found a letter in the mailbox saying "Hey, you gotta pay income tax!" First-time jitters hit hard, especially since I was unemployed at the time. Visions of a giant bill flashed before my eyes! Thankfully, it wasn't THAT bad - ended up being around $50+ (phew!).

🤩 Here's the thing, though

The whole process seemed a bit... mysterious? The letter mentioned an "IRAS income tax thingy" that wasn't ready yet, but they'd send another letter later. Great, so how do I actually pay it then?

🦸🏻‍♀️ Enter the hero

A notification on my phone! Turns out, you can pay your income tax online too. Easy peasy, just follow the instructions and bam! ✅ Crisis averted (for now, at least ).

📝 So, what are my takeaways for my fellow Gen Z peeps?

👆🏻Don't panic! Paying income tax is normal (and kind of adulting-ish, right?)

👆🏻 The mysterious letter is real. It might not have all the info right away, but it'll point you in the right direction.

👆🏻 Stay tuned! There might be another letter or (thankfully!) a helpful notification on your phone.
