I share that sentiment- that poor person. To society's credit, I have not yet seen any posts or articles with an image or their identity. Hopefully it stays that way.
Agree, would rather my money went to a local firm with an actual person who I can consistently contact for questions. Did this a few years ago for an especially challenging tax year. Absolutely 0 regrets - if I had done it via self-serve software I would've missed out on quite a few unknown tax assists that the accountant found.
Huh I did not know this. CK was my backup to FT USA but that is indeed some sneaky shit. I'm scared now for FT USA - PLEASE DO NOT SELL OUT.
I use TurboTax ina free way - calculate all my taxes using their amazing software and then when the numbers match on the free site, I file there. That's the beauty of TurboTax that you can exploit. I feel it's fair game knowing they make the software open and then trick people who have calculated everything out to pay a ridiculous amount for the filing fee at the end.
I just got these buttons (from Amazon as well lol). Apparently the cat isn't pushing them because I haven't recorded the right words that would allow them to communicate their disdain for me.
Not sure if this is your intent but your comment might be coming off the same as, "Why don't you just stop being sad?" To people suffering from depression. Mental disorders and addictions are legitimate diseases and can be extremely complex to diagnose and treat. It's really unfortunate that Steve Harwell died under those circumstances. His music brought joy to a lot of people.
I've seen a video or two of that. I had also heard that people would attend his concerts to see him go off the rails. It's so unfortunate he hated the song that brought him so much success. I know a lot of people think its been overplayed, but It's just a fun, catchy, light-hearted song.
Does anyone have any good links to charity or donation sites for our Maui folks?
Any local folks know what's needed out there and where to go? I want to help but also times like this is when sometimes scams pop up.
How is the division of labor going in your households?
Got out of my last relationship for this reason (amongst other things). I was the everything person - cook, accountant, maid, landscaper, scheduler, fun planner, etc. It didn't start that way of course - just little acts of service out of love that became the expectation over time. Are things more equitable in your relationships, or are there any women who are where I was at? I'm still scratching my head wondering if I bear some of the blame for setting myself up that way and trying to get some good perspective for the next one!
Sounds a little like a torture chamber to me with my tinnitus.
