I had concerns about the tax situation this year and you helped me realize that I am not alone. I think many people this year will find themselves in similar situations. Did you know short sales can be regarded as income (post-sale)? Does that make sense that people who were already struggling may owe taxes? Crazy. Anyway, I have a similar site ... mostly about how I encounter things and think of ideas to save money. If you don't have a TWITTER account, I highly recommend it. You can follow me at www.twitter.com/twodollartree and my website is http://www.twodollartree.com You have a very good site, I appreciate your opinion of mine if you have time!

My church is offering his class (Financial Peace University and I'm taking it right now. It is definitely worth looking into.

Anyone else think its outrageous that we are paying 15% of our salaries towards a system that will not even be solvent when we reach retirement age?

If you don't have kids and have your own business be prepared to pay the piper! I hate self-employment tax, just doesn't seem fair. Did my taxes the other day and wish I hadn’t.
