<prompt> Human: So a little back story about me and how I came to owe so much in taxes Sorry this is kind of long...When I was 16 I started looking at ways to make money without having a 9-5 job My goal in life was always to do my own thing and not be locked into the rat race world of 9-5, trading hours for dollars. My search lead me to internet marketing and making money online. After starting my own business I decided to drop out of highschool my senior year At that point I wasnt going to graduate anyway. I just didnt care for it and I hung around some really lousy people. My dad didnt like me dropping out for obvious reasons and he pushed me to either go to college, get a job, or get out. Well he changed his tune once he found out how much money I was starting to make. It started out pretty small, a couple hundred a month, but soon I was making thousands, then tens of thousands. Over the course of two years I made over 800k in revenue, around 200k net profit...Needless to say as a 18-19 year old I was feeling great about myself... But then my dad passed away. Suddenly everything fell on me. I had to take care of my mother because shes disabled, the house, every responsibility fell on me at 19...At the time I welcomed the challenge, I was making good money and I felt proud to provide for my family. Its all I ever wanted to do was make my father proud of me and I did that... But once he died, my motivator was gone. There was no longer someone there to push me... to make me strive to prove I wasnt just some high school drop out deadbeat...Well in the course of 2 years after my father died, everything dried up. I blew the money doing stupid stuff. I basically took a year off from my online business and partied a lot. When I tried to get back into my business, I had no drive to succeed anymore and I lost all my motivation. I was lost and soon I would hit the lowest point of my life when I had to sell my families home because the tax man came knocking. I paid my taxes yearly so when my biggest year came back to bite me in the ass... It was either pay the tax man 50k and have nothing left or try and salvage my business and pay them back when I could... I failed.So now I owe 50k in taxes. I lost everything. I became very depressed and basically did nothing for 2-3 years after that. I would do my online job to basically scrape by. No motivation to get up and try again. It was a very depressing 3 years, but now Im getting better and I want to improve my life and reach that point again... but... Its almost impossible now.That tax burden has made it nearly impossible to get any kind of decent paying job Im still a bit too prideful to throw away my dream of ever needing to work a 9-5 job, because I know if I become content with that, ill never get out of it. I cant even save money in a bank account because the government will try and garnish everything and leave me with 0. I want to pay everything I owe back, but Its like fighting an uphill battle. I cant get a decent job because nobody wants to deal with someone who owes over 10k in back taxes, and if I do get one my wages will be garnished. I cant even save up money in a bank account over fear of the government coming in and just taking it all and putting me back to square one.I make on average 500-2000 depending on how determined and motivated I am that month on my online job. I have no idea how Im going to pay uncle sam back. Here are my current expenses:1. 250 for rent2. 150 for internet and electricity.3. 100 for food. 4. 50 for car insurance. Thats it. I know this is a pretty vague post, but its 2:30 am and Im just throwing this out there in hopes someone can give me any kind of recommendations. I dont even know where to start or what I can do to start saving some money.  <response>: resetting of the clock for how long they have to collect on those taxesyou will go to jail before this happens.
