$1400 made from Craigslist

I have made close to $1400 from selling items on Craigslist and will make another $10 tonight or tomorrow selling a huge bag of lincoln logs the baby does not want to play with anymore. Well, $750 of that total was my faithful gun Woodrow, but still. That's a good amount of $ made in the past 2 years selling shit around the house.

Thank God I'm a LEO

A local tax preparer is doing all returns for cops for only $39. S said we needed a pro to look at our return since my TurboTax draft said we owe the KGB I mean IRS over $2600!!! We went this past Saturday and he managed to knock it down to $2200 and change. His fee is $175 but again we paid him only $39. Lots of $ saved there, all b/c I'm a cop. Wow.

Now, time to change my W-4. Stat!

The Roth IRA

I've gotta open up one of these things...and so should you! Once S graduates in May and gets his job, we are both going to open up Roth's. I am going to leave my retirement contribution low at Job #1--say at around the 3% level--and contribute the rest to a Roth. Learn about it. Know it. Do it. Love it!
