A Financial Tip

I recently read Suze Orman's book "Fabulous, Young, and Broke" and the main lesson I learned is to invest in real estate. I am a single woman under 30, but the housing market is a buyer's market right now. It's a good time to invest. As a teacher, it's smart to take advantage of these opportunities.

Some More Financial Advice

Save receipts! If I go to Michaels, JoAnn Fabrics, or Dick Blick I make sure I remember to save my receipts for tax write offs. Last year I moved twice for my job, once to Las Vegas and once across town so I would be closer. I kept my receipts from UHaul and the movers. Any workshops you take, any art supplies you buy for yourself, and college courses you take are all tax write offs. The more you claim the more you get back, so keep a manilla envelope during the year and shove receipts into it for anything that can be construed as a buisness expense. You will thank me in the spring!
