Death and Taxes

Last week, DH did a quick estimate of our taxes for next year and if we keep things as they are right now, we'll have to pay $3,000 or so. Yikes. So, he changed his withholding...which means that we won't have to pay for 2007 but it also reduces our net income which means less to debt every month. We thought we'd be able to pay things off in October, but it looks like we are now back to November. Which is just fine...I'd rather not have to pay thousands of dollars next April..........even if it adds a month on to our debt reduction plan. I'm SO glad we don't have to pay someone to figure this stuff out! Good job, DH, on earning that CPA!

DH and I talked a little bit last night about our money plans for after November. I'm pretty sure that I drive him crazy sometimes. I think he might be getting sick of hearing me drone on about money. I feel like it's consuming me right now....it's all I can talk about!

But really, I'm pretty passionate about it at this point in my life. I like to talk to people about it and I never ask them what their financial picture looks like, but they often share small portions of it. I've found that so many people in my world have credit card debt and are struggling or at least aren't where they want to be, financially speaking. My goals right now are focused on my marriage, our finances, and my family, but if I can get people excited about getting out of debt themselves, I think that's a pretty good perk! Death to debt! (Going along with the death and taxes theme...hahaha.)
