This is exactly what my wife and I did last year to reduce our combined income to avoid bumping ourselves into the next tax bracket. She's fairly successful with a national corporation and it helped that I was fed up with being a high school teacher. That was an easy job to leave in order to keep us from being penalized for her promotion last year. Now I'm self-employed doing consulting work to keep myself busy at a lower income.<br> <br> Why does our government insist on punishing good behavior and rewarding the bad? Oh, that's right. We're "fortunate" and they're just having "bad luck." If you ask me, playing by the rules only to have your achievements diverted to irresponsible people is the REAL bad luck.
