Another Saturday at the clinic. I brought a homemade lunch. π
In the mix:
- Spinach
- Roasted broccoli
- Roasted sweet potato
- Sprouts
- Two hard boiled eggs
- Balsamic dressing
Get $$ Organized
One of my 2011 resolutions is to figure out our finances. My goals include:
- Pay taxes on a quarterly basis (started to do this last year)
- Open a LLC for my businesses (done)
- Begin running all business finances separately from my personal finances
- Get a ROTH IRA (yesβ¦ we donβt have any money saved for retirement yet!)
- Reduce unnecessary spending (eating out)
- Save for a sweet-ass vacation
- Get pre-approved for a mortgage
- Get more affordable health insurance
- Get cheaper car insurance
- Get disability insurance for both the Husband and I (if the Husband broke his hand, weβd be screwed β heβs an acupuncturist. And if β God forbid β I was in an accident and couldnβt work, weβd be seriously in financial trouble.)
Taxes are really not fun when you own five businesses and have 15 W-9s between two people. Luckily, I hire a professional to do most of the heavy lifting.
Iβve been re-reading The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous, and Broke by Suze Ormon to help me figure everything out. I love this book because she explains everything VERY CLEARLY (as in, she doesnβt even assume you know what interest is), which is definitely what I need! Iβm a dummy when it comes to money.
My former boss gave me this book a few years ago, but I wasnβt really responsible or ready for a lot of it. But man β some of the information is really coming in handy now. If you are young, fabulous, and broke (or broke-ish), you should definitely grab this book.
Are you money savvy? Or a money dummy like me?
I love love Suze Ormanand have one of her books but not this one!
