am I being silly?
My bil is a financial planner so this year he refferred me to someone to do my taxes. So I made an appointment for last night. We had to use my bil office space becuase the tax guy is from queens and Im from suffolk and so we used my bil office in the middle of the 2. anyway before the appointment I was talking to my bil about it and he had told me that me and the tax guy would have privacy and he would leave the office to us. Well last night I got there early and the tax guy hadnt arrived, so bil chatted for a but about things here and there. Then the tax guy shows up comes in to bil office and sits down. AT this point my I had thought my bil was going to leave the room and allow me to do my taxes in private WELL HE DIDNT ![]()

He sat down at the desk and sat there the entire time while I had all of my personal information accross the desk for all to see. AT one point my bil asked me to see my Bank statement because he wanted to see what kind of account I had![]()
I was soo mad I didnt know what to do, Im kind of private about my finances and this was eating me alive!!! Dh wasnt there becuase he had to work late so everytime the tax guy asked question about my dh my bil answered over me!!!!!![]()
I mean I understand that dh and his brother are close but this is my HUSBAND and our personal financial business- NOT YOURS.
Oh and here is the kicker:
the tax guy needed my tax returns from last year so I told him that I would fax them over. BIL chimes in and says no I can bring them to him- he says to me ' ill come over tonight and pick them up from you!!!!!! This is crossing the line for me- In 2003 my mom passed away so I have lots of personal family financial history, like my moms condition, salary and savings acount history in that return- This is nobody's business except me and dh.
Dh thinks I m acting a little crazy becuase I came home hysterical but I dont think I am. Im very private and my BIL has a BIG mouth, Everyone in my dh family and all of our friends would know all about my personal finances and that just doesnt sit well with me at all. So I havent approached anything yet becuase Im not quite sure how. I dont want to start a big controversy over this but its eating at me. I told my bil that I could find the tax reurn from last year and that Id have to get a copy next week from my old tax firm. Im probably going to give the tax guy a call on my own and set up a meet up to give him my return from last year and let him know that I would like to keep things a little more private from now on. What do you guy think am I being nuts?
