My apologies for the recent technical difficulties. I’m back up and running. That said, I spent Saturday doing our taxes. There are a few forms that we’re waiting on (I’m looking at you ShareBuilder) but other than that, we’re done. While we owe less than I thought we would, it’s still a bundle. Therefore, we either need to start making quarterly estimated payments or have extra withheld from our paychecks.
In other financial news, I’m still on track to have my car paid off by June but it’s debatable whether or not I’ll max out my IRA. I was a bad girl and dropped some loot to go on a ski trip in April. I also have spent entirely too much money at the hair salon but we won’t talk about that. There are a couple of other financial decisions in the works but I’ll discuss those later. We’re one month into the new year. How are YOU faring with your financial goals?

You have until April 15 to make your IRA contribution for 2009. Don’t give up.

I have a goal that I would like to have a certain amount in the bank by the end of the year but I am already behind on my new savings plan…grrrr. I will be spending less this year though so I hope to play catch up asap.
Congrats on being able to pay off your car this year.
