It's funny you should mention that, because even though I only make a tiny bit of money doing theatre, because we are married and filing together and I work in NYC and live in NJ, we almost pay out more than I make. Financially I'm not certain if that's the marriage penalty...I'm still new to this whole "married thing" maybe I'll have our crap figured out by the time we have kids...Our tax guy told me I should get a job in NJ or not work to save us money. (!!) That's just crazy, and a solid bummer for someone who makes so little, like 95% of all actors.

Yeah, since we were married in October...the tax part of it ended up sucking for us, too.
