I was really trying to move things around to have a full 40
hours for this week. I had enough PTO to cover the meeting I have for DS3 on
Thursday but those hours are going to taking care of a sick kiddo. DW and I are both behind at work so I worked
6am to 9am and then came home to relieve DW so she can head into to work.
I finally scheduled a time with our accountant on Saturday
to get our taxes done. Last year was the
first year I didn’t do our taxes because we had several weird things going
on. We had an adoption, inheritance,
cashing out of an IRA, unemployment, and DW’s previous employer had fled the
country so we had no W2 and had to submit copies of checks clearing our account
as proof of income. This year is easier
but DW and I will be filing taxes together for the first time, we have roll
over from our adoption from 2013 plus a new adoption for 2014. I am going to
pay attention to how our accountant processes our taxes as I expect we will
have more adoption roll over for our 2015 taxes, and should be able to do it
myself next year. That will save us a couple hundred dollars.
DW and I stayed up late last night going over the blog I
posted yesterday. She is agreement about
the steps we need to take. She then
proceeded to tell me that she had been telling me all along that we needed to
budget better for certain things. My gut
reaction was to get angry because besides complaining that I couldn’t magically
make money appear into our bank account, DW’s input into are budget has been
about ZERO. Whatever ‘thoughts’ she had
on the budget were never actually said out loud TO ME. DW rarely is open to talking about money so I
wasn’t going to make it worse but getting into an argument. I bit my tongue and
moved on.
