In 2004, I purchased my first home. I was recently divorced, and took a loan that didn't include taxes and insurance. In 2005, I refinanced to include taxes and insurance, and also paid off my car loan. In April 2006, my mother came to me and asked me and my family if we'd be willing to move into her home since she's having a brand new one built. It's a bigger, nicer house and in an excellent part of town with really good schools that my kids go to and love. I put my house up for sale, even though I have a pre-payment penalty...and after it being listed for 5 months...I took an offer and agreed to $6000 less than my asking price, and $5500 towards closing costs...now I'm only getting $1325 out of the sale of the house!!! And now the buyer wants all these repairs done...even though they'll have about $4600 cash from closing! I know this is bad, but part of me just wants to be done with it....this house we'll be moving into will be mine and it has no mortgage....What do you think

It's better to have fun at work, but there are limitations when you don't do your work. Does your boss let you goof off and have fun at work sometimes ?

The current tax code has over 5.5 billion words, countless forms and instructions, and is too complex for the average taxpayer to comprehend. As a result, businesses and individuals face huge burdens of time and money to comply with the tax code-- in 2006, Americans spent 6.4 billion hours filling out tax forms for the government.
Switching to a flat tax would make it simple to pay taxes, saving everyone time and money. Under a flat tax, filing taxes would take mere minutes, and decreasing compliance costs would improve the economy-- all of those billions of hours we spend filing taxes could be put to productive use. Individual Flat Tax Form would have three questions.

1. Your Wages, Salary, and Pension

2. Marital Status

3. How many dependent children do you have

YOUR DONE.

You could eliminate 95% of the need for the I.R.S saving billions
No more Tax brackets.
The billions we lose from Illegal Immigration would be recovered.
I wish I could go on

I'm trying to cut down on my grocery spending this year, and all the books I've read tell me to make a price book. It seems very complicated! If you use a price book, what's the best way to start building one? Should I use my receipts, or should I just write down prices while I'm at the store?

Hi, my parents and I messed up last year while filing our taxes. I claimed myself, and my parents claimed me as a dependent. I don't know what to do to fix it. All I got was a paper from the IRS telling me to fix the problem, but didn't tell me how.
