At the beginning of this summer, I embarked on a new journey. I decided that I wanted to move forward on my dream of owning my own home. I’m actually surprised that I haven’t blogged about it at all.

I finally got the last of the tax documents that I had been waiting for yesterday, so I decided to file my taxes today. I e-filed using TurboTax for free (I did last year too). I’m glad I did, too. If I hadn’t, I would have missed a tax credit.
I was wondering why the refund estimate that TurboTax was showing me was higher than what I estimated when I went through things before (based […]
