I sent quotes and invoices and follow up messages with minimal impostor syndrome.
Bobbin is learning So many things right now and I am exploding with how cute it all is: walking, using a spoon, holding and drinking from her cup & straw, wiping her own hands and face after a meal
Something something maybe the product support folks should be in closer contact with the product users, especially the power users, to figure out how to make everyone’s lives easier…
Discovered 1099-DIV already in vanguard account, and that was what I was waiting for, so did our taxes. We still qualify for IRS Free File, so no money out, will get more back than I like, but with mystery graduate income and spread over two states, we estimated withholding conservatively this year. Too much back ($1500 between the Fed’s and the two states) is better than owing a bunch!
@Rural - check that there aren’t more forms coming from Vanguard.
I have post-tax, Roth, and a rollover IRA (from 401k) at Vanguard and
I got the following note from Vanguard:
Thank you for transitioning from our old investment platform (mutual fund-only) to our new investment platform (brokerage) in 2019.
We wanted to remind you that, as a result of the transition, you may receive 2 separate sets of tax forms for 2019: a set for the old platform (available at the end of January) and another set for the new platform (available by the end of February).
Well shit. I think our accounts may have changed over before 1/19, so hopefully I had everything, as I filled about an hour ago. The numbers looked right. We’ll see. I can always amend if something else turns up.
I have had several glasses of champagne and am playing super Mario odyssey with H after a long ass week, accompanied by homemade cheese dip and chips. Tiny victories abound.
Like others here, I’ve spent the evening working on taxes. My victory: between state and fed, my net is $21 owed. (Unfortunately, I must take from Fed to pay State. A little over $200 off on each is still a victory for me!)
I’m using my tens for the 2nd time this week when I really don’t wanna but it helps so much. I should be using it 2-3x/wk on this leg boo boo (v adult terminology).
Yeah I’ve had this one for like six or seven years. It was $19 on some kind of flash sale and it’s better than some very expensive ones I’ve tried. I love (hate) it!
After over three months in my possession I have finally learned how to operate and programmed the Bluetooth capabilities in my new-to-me vehicle.
I promptly slipped into my classic BS and listened to the same song on repeat for over 24 hours, but I’m still excited to have musical access in the car.
It’s the weekend and I got up by 10am. Trying to get up earlier and go to bed earlier. It’s a trip talking to my retired friend who “gets up late” at 7:30am, and the friend I saw last night who gets up at 4:30am on weekdays because she wants to work out before her long commute.
