The Quiet Millionaire author and Certified Financial Planner Brett Wilder states that “Most ‘normal’ people think that the subject of taxes is an absolute bore and would much rather spend their free time thinking about more interesting, stimulating, and happier aspects of life.” Thankfully, I would be considered normal by this measure.
