March 26, 2021March 20, 2021 David2 Comments

Spring has sprung! At this time of year, we love swinging downtown to check out the cherry blossoms. However, this year with the pandemic in play, we may skip our annual tradition. Here’s a picture from last year’s blossom excursion: Despite paying zero attention to organized sports, I did fill out an NCAA March Madness… Continue reading March 2021 Update

I love my Kindle Paperwhite

March 19, 2021March 14, 2021 David4 Comments

I finished 63 books in 2020, three more than 2019 but eleven fewer than 2018. Of those 63, only two of them were physical, paper books. Twenty five of them were audio books, but the remaining thirty six were on my Kindle Paperwhite. I love my Paperwhite. It’s my second e-ink Kindle, replacing my Kindle… Continue reading I love my Kindle Paperwhite

February 2021 Update

Tax Season – In Progress I finished filing the tax returns for both of my oldest two children. Both made well under $30k for the year. I laughed at how simple they were and also the sheer number of dark patterns that Turbotax employed to trick us into paying for what should have been a… Continue reading February 2021 Update

January 2021 Update The tax forms are starting to trickle in. Probably won’t start reviewing them until mid-February once the brokerage statements all land. We’ll see if we have any drastic changes to the tax code to account for in 2021. Covered Calls Update I’ve written before about the covered calls that I’ve been writing… Continue reading January 2021 Update

Happy New Year! I hope you had a merry Christmas and are ready for 2021! I know I am. Busting The Myths of Plastic Recycling This month I listened to Planet Money’s episode on recycled plastic, titled Waste Land.

401(k) Deduction-vs-Credit

December 18, 2020December 20, 2020 David5 Comments

During the presidential election, one proposal put forth by the Biden campaign was to switch traditional 401(k) contributions from a tax deduction to a tax credit. With today’s current tax regime, when you make a contribution it reduces your taxes at your marginal rate, which for me is 22%, or 22 cents for every dollar… Continue reading 401(k) Deduction-vs-Credit

November 2020 Update Hope you had a great Thanksgiving! I started this blog a year ago. We were in the middle of our family DIY study abroad in Spain (remember when traveling was a thing?).

Financial Economic Book Group (#2)

November 20, 2020November 8, 2020 David2 Comments

A couple months ago I shared some of the books that I’ve read recently with my older children as part of a family book group.

Every year we add games to our collection and with the holiday season right around the corner, I thought I’d share some of the games we played this… Continue reading Games We Played in 2020

Here are some highlights of October 2020. Creating Zoom Video Backgrounds I haven’t stepped foot in the office since mid-March when the pandemic started in earnest. Instead, I’ve been meeting with coworkers via Zoom. Early on, I decided to use photos from our trip to Spain as my background. It was a fun way to… Continue reading October 2020 Update
