By on April 30, 2013

At some point in mid-May, you will see the general populace descend into a sun-induced frenzy. It’s the same every year.

The More You Own, the More Expenses You’ll Have

By on April 23, 2013

When I was a kid, I thought it would be so cool to be an adult. I could do whatever I wanted with whoever I wanted for as long as I wanted! No one would be able to tell me what to do. Ahh, that would be the life, right? I’m sure we all thought [...]

Would You Fight An Incorrect 1099?

By on April 22, 2013

It happened again. For the second straight year, I received a grossly inaccurate 1099 tax form from one of my contractors.

What I Really Think About Increasing the Minimum Wage

By on April 2, 2013

Have you ever worked for minimum wage? I have, twice: When I was a teenager, I worked as a lifeguard for a local recreation center. While basking in the summer sun all day may sound like a dream job, it was far from it. Rather, I spent 10-hours a day sweating in the sun, watching [...]
