According to the Tax Foundation, you'll work 124 days -- until May 3 -- for the government before you make a dime for yourself. That's how many days Americans need to work in order to pay off their federal, state, and local taxes, the foundation's study said. That's actually a slight improvement over last year, when it took until May 11 to feed the beast. So hang in there for a couple of more weeks. It's all gravy after that, baby.
