Tax Refund  — 2 years ago

The Tax Fairy sprinkled refund dust all over my bank account! 85% of my refund will be going straight to savings (not spent on a pony, 99).

$200--saved  — 2 years ago

BUT I will probably have to spend that much on the movers. That’s OK. At least I have the money for the movers, thereby avoiding the dread physical labor.

Oh!

And I did my taxes and it turns out I’m effing loaded! I probably could have gotten a lot more had I bore any children during this fiscal year. Child tax credit or something like that. Crazy! I had no idea. That sounds like a bribe to me…

In addition to that, I found a home/office budget ledger while I was packing. Woo! I WIL USE IT—I SWEAR. It’s about time that I actually put those college accounting courses to use. I paid for them, got danggit!

So things are looking up. At this rate, I shall surely be named on that Forbes 400 list in the coming months. Look out!
