Taxes, Taxes, Taxes - I Love Taxes

{ February 25th, 2008 }

Well, thats not exactly true - I just love getting a refund! This weekend I did my Federal and State Income Tax Return and my wife and I will be getting over $1,000 back of our hard earned cash back. That is going to be a nice little boost to our $10,000 savings goal. Which made me realize that I didn’t post anything about how much progress we made last month on meeting any of our goals.

Net Worth for October 2008 - Boring Net Worth Updates Might Become Less Boring-er?

I haven’t done a net worth update in a very, very long time. To be honest, I haven’t done a net worth update in such a long time because my net worth updates are kind of boring. Nothing really exciting happens month after month as my wife and I consistently spend less than we earn ...

2008 Goal Update: Challenge-ify or Die

I mentioned earlier that I had neglected to comment on our progress toward our goals for 2008 and now its time to make amends. Many of our goals need to be restated and a few have proven far to easy for me to complete - I need to challenge-ify them or I will stand ...

Jobs, Can’t Live With ‘em …

My wife and I are beginning to look into what capacity she should remain on at her job. Her job is one of those things that isn’t too terrible, but the long attrition of minor inconveniences and annoyances is taking its toll. Her boss is sweet but can be extremely controlling. The ...
