Tax Time - Yikes!

It's that time of year where the holidays are behind us and tax time looms ahead of us. Some of us wait anxiously for our tax paperwork to arrive so that we can hurry, fill it out, and get a return. Others, usually not expecting a return, procrastinate and put off doing their taxes until April 14th. Then they are the poor souls lined up at the post office at midnight waiting to get their return stamped prior to April 15th.

Duh. Duh. Duh. 

Tax Day.

The day we break open our piggy banks and share with Uncle Sam. 

Fortunately for you, and for me, there are a lot of sites available that can help you navigate the new tax laws and help you with filling out the appropriate forms. I've located a few that might help. 

If you know of a tax tip that I haven't uncovered, please post it in the comments section.

I'm Over 50, Now What?

If you've reached 50, Happy Birthday to you.

I've hit that magical number in my life. I'm over 50, 51 to be exact and I've applied for and received my membership to the AARP. I keep my card in my wallet because it gets me discounts on all kinds of things.

But, other things happen to a person when they hit the 50 years old mark. Suddenly certain foods are no longer good for you and some are. There are activities we're no longer supposed to try and then their are activities we should. It's a contradicting time.

It's like we have to bury ourselves in Post It notes to remember everything!
