I was age 45 before i learned i could lock a gasoline pump in place with the little lever , without squeezing the trigger the whole time it was filling.
Also that most drivers brake with their right foot. I had always used my left foot, as the reaction time seems quicker that way in an emergency.
I also grew up very sheltered, and never realized for decades, that the folk song "Abraham, Martin, and John" referred to the 3 tragic assassinations. I just thought it was a harmless benign little song.

I drove a stick shift for 42 years. My left foot is for the clutch. It is now remaining firmly planted on the floor so I don’t screw up and hit the brake, because I forgot I drive an automatic now.
It’s been two years.... tried to shift the other day.
My husband has a client (he is a CPA) and the client and her husband are in the same line of work as me.
I did their refinance for them and their W2's are great about $100K per year each, however, in looking at their bank statements, I did not see any monthly deposits so I questioned this.
Comment from Client:
Oh, at the end of the year, we just total what we took out and take a W2 and pay the tax. The payroll company gives us a paper check which is never cashed but the tax is paid and the SS and Medicare so we will get more SS when the time comes.
I was rather shocked and wondered how they could do this. Well, I asked my husband and he said it's very common for self employed people to do this.
Well, I said to him (husband CPA) - Why didn't you ever tell me to do that so I would get more SS?
Note:
I'm trying to do that this year but I have to pay the tax and SS. Wish I had know this 16 years ago; would have made a big difference.
Bette, those checks would show up as an outstanding check in their business accounts and therefore a liability to the company. Doesn't this screw up the business books? There's got to be something wrong with this. And if these 2 don't cash checks, what are they actually living on? Do they have other jobs?
