If the IRS Sends You a Bill that You Can’t Pay, What Should You Do?
Well, for starters, please don’t have a heart attack! But before we proceed any further, it is very important for you to be cognizant of the fact that many people are receiving threatening phone calls from persons purporting to be IRS officers, stating that they owe outstanding balances. These people are NOT from the IRS! You should hang up the phone immediately, if you receive any of these calls. The IRS does not make phone calls to individuals concerning their personal tax matters; that’s not their method of operation. The IRS only communicates with taxpayers by sending them notices in the mail.

Best Public Schools in the USA by State
There are tons and tons of public schools not just across the state, but across the country. There are some schools better than others in academics, sports, programs, etc. But all in all, schools are there to teach students proper education and hopefully motivate them to attend college and go far beyond that. And don't tell me that private schools are better than public. In certain ways, they have their differences, but a student attending a public school is gaining just enough knowledge and education as a student attending a private school.

Minimum Wage for Maximum Stress
Here in the UK, minimum wage (if over 24) is £7.50 which works out fairly similar if living in the US. On average, based on a 35 hour week, a loyal, twenty-something employee will bring home something a little south of £1000 a month. Which gets you halfway to nowhere. After rent, bills, food, travel, and the essentials like a box of hair dye because you're too poor to go to a hairdressers or a new pair of jeans because your only other pair have more holes than what anyone could consider deliberately fashionable; most of us minimum-wagers are sustaining ourselves on a particularly stressful budget. So which is more important this month? A £70 prescription for badly needed glasses or an £80 renewal fee for your passport because without it, you're technically a non-existent citizen and regrettably ID-less. This relentless stress of deciding which way is best to spend our last remaining oner is just the flour in a cake of strains that will eventually be topped with the mother of all icings. The job itself.

Best Standing Desks for the Office
Did you know that having a seriously sedentary work life can affect your long term health and even give you heart problems? It's true. That's why so many of the top companies are now investing their money in the best standing desks for the office workers that spend over 10 hours sitting down while working.

Let's Talk About Jobs
First off, let me give you an overview of myself so you get an idea of where I'm coming from. I am a 22 year old female living in Southern California, graduated high school in 2013 and went to a community college for two years before eventually dropping out due to stress and anxiety. I volunteer my time at the local garden maintaining the demonstration plot and helping with their monthly cooking classes, and I help out with events at a wildlife sanctuary whenever they need me. So I've got at least three years kitchen and team experience. When I'm not at the garden or sanctuary I'm at home on Discord—a chatting platform much like Skype but built for gamers. I'm a moderator—I enforce the rules and make sure nothing inappropriate is posted—for three YouTubers and am in charge of anywhere from 5–600 people at any time and over 2000 people in general. I guess you could say it's giving me communication skills. I've only been doing that for about a year and a half.
