Money plays an important role in our lives. Talking about money in English is an important topic to learn. Many students know what to call the money we get from a job. We call that our "salary". Of course, we hope to get a high salary, but we usually have to start at a low salary and work our way up. In most countries, some of our salary is taken out and given to the government. This money is called "taxes". We also might pay taxes when we buy things. Taxes are such a big part of life that someone once said "Nothing is certain in life except death, and taxes".
