When People Don’t Understand What You Do For A Living

Emma | January 1, 2010

 
I had the most amazing 10-day Christmas family vacation in Louisville, Kentucky and I tell you, I struggled for the first two days not having any internet access!  Thank goodness, Granny’s neighbor generously gave us access to her wi-fi so I was able to feel a sense of relief.

Tax season just ended - well, for most people it has ended 6 months ago in April but 2008 has been one of those years where we were most challenged financially.
We made a conscious decision to cash out some of our 401 K to pay off some consumer debts. Most financial planners would have disagreed [...]
