Hey, I saw your avatar on twitter! Very nice!
Great list! I can personally say that the Samurai’s Fund is awesome!
I’ll have to check out PTMoney’s free spreadsheets! (I have about 13 already, but maybe he consolidates his better than I do).
Hope your family had a great Valentines Day!
I’m in the process of filing my taxes right now using the HR Block @ Home version. I’ve been using HR BLock (formally known as Tax Cut) for over 5 years now and I’ve never had a problem with it.
I tried using Turbo Tax Online once and after I had “completed” my return (but not yet filed), it wouldn’t allow me to go back into my return once I discovered a relatively honest mistake! Customer support was ridiculous, and I ended up eating my $50 and doing the return by hand!
I truly hope CML picks up soon! We’re doing great though, and are outperforming the S&P 500 by 3%! Nice!
Thx for the shout out my man – glad you enjoyed the post
Thanks for mentioning my post!
