Life!
So the past two days have been hell.
Things are tough when the only paycheck is from self employment.
We have been strapped for the past 3 years but lately things have been a little tougher. It could be the economy, it could be we don't really know how to budget, it could also be that there is a lack of communication on the bread winner's part of what the REAL picture is.
All I know is this; as someone who tries to always see the sunny side of things it gets a little scary when I am told that I just might have to sell my engagement ring to keep the house.
Ahhh...at least we are healthy I remind myself as I knock on wood.
Here is my silver lining, last night while meeting with an insurance broker who was nice enough to spend 2 hours speaking with me while knowing he would not be selling me anything (check for his business link on my side bar very soon), he noticed that my accountant made a humungo shall we say FUCK UP on out taxes. You see in April we were informed that instead of receiving a refund we were going to own the price of a mid size car. Well, this insurance broker took the time to pour over my tax return while we spoke and noticed a huge error on my accountants part. So, to make an already long story short, my taxes will need to be amended and we WILL be receiving a refund on the money we struggled for the past 4 months to pay!!!!
Dare I say it; HALLELUJAH and AMEN!
OMG...that is AWESOME! So glad that things worked out regarding your taxes. Every little bit helps!
