Living for today - Planning for Tomorrow
Just as I like my regular income to be, I also want my retirement income to be diversified. You’ve heard the saying a hundred times – “don’t pull all your eggs in one basket.” And, there’s a good reason why: when you spread your income sources across various avenues you won’t be hurt if one source takes a turn for the worse. Here are six

Monday we talked about some of the basic expenses of having children. One of the costs we didn’t talk about though was paying for your kid’s college education.

I’ve seen children who get a free ride through school (provided via their parents) who change their majors like
Happy Friday! I seem to be having some computer issues again! (ugh) Between my laptop, which is less than a year old, and my internet it’s been taking around 5 minutes to log onto a single page on the internet. I’m getting so frustrated.

As I sit here looking at the computer screen I draw a blank “what do I want to write about tonight” I think. Nothing seems like a good choice. But I tell myself I should get started anyway.

This article is written by John Quan a pharmacist in San Jose, CA. Students looking to go into pharmacy school might get a nice surprise when they find out how much it costs. Pharmacy school is much lengthier than most traditional degrees. The average degree in pharmacy could cost more than $100,000. What is worse is that most people don’t tell you that when you
Myths regarding the IRS run the gamut. From the anal-retentive auditor showing up on your porch to the dreaded “don’t ask, don’t tell” approach, it can get quite difficult differentiating the facts from fiction. Rather than getting lost in the delusions, take a moment to get your facts straight. Fiction: All auditors are accountants by trade Fact: A commonly held misconception is that all auditors
