Don’t Do Your Own Taxes!

It's just not worth the headache.It’s that time of year again and although it is tempting to save a few pennies by doing your own taxes, it’s not always the best idea, unless you are a professional accountant.  I know there is software available online that can help you, but if you miss something important then you could lose a lot of money!  Accountants can make sure that you are maximizing your tax savings by taking into account every expense that is tax deductible.  Tax laws change over time so even if you knew what the rules were in the past you may not be as familiar with them now.  You may not want to pay for professional services, but it will be worth it in the long run.  If you do still insist on doing your own taxes, be sure to research the latest tax saving strategies and laws so that you can minimize the amount of tax that you pay.

Cut Your Husband’s Hair!

He looks a little uneasy!Although I must admit I don’t really enjoy cutting my husband’s hair, it has saved us about $100.00 to $120.00 every year.   We purchased a haircutting kit for about $30.00 and have used it for almost 4 years.  The kits come with a razor, scissors, combs, and extensions of various lengths and can be purchased almost anywhere.  If your husband is satisfied with a buzz cut it makes it super easy.  If not, there are some really great demonstrations on how to cut men’s hair on Youtube using common haircutting kits.  Why not try it at least once?  I always console myself with the thought that my husband’s hair grows really fast so if I make a mistake it doesn’t take long for it to be covered up!
