Free Park Entrance!!

by

Hi friends!!

What are you up to this weekend? Spending time with the family? Celebrating the Easter holiday, or just the nice Spring weekend??

I hope most of you have started to warm up a little and are getting a few peeks of Spring. Here, in Tucson, it already feels more like summer! Either way, I wanted to give you a heads up about a little FREE fun you might be able to have with your family this weekend!

Free Entrance to U.S. National Parks!

A handful of weekends each year offer FREE entrance to U.S. national parks and this weekend is one of them!

On April 19-20, you can enjoy free entrance in honor of the “opening weekend of National Park Week” (who knew “National Park Week” was a thing???)

Anyway, if its nice weather – get out and enjoy it! And take advantage of this free offer. Why not?

Here’s the deets and a list of other free days, too!

Happy Weekend!

The Tax Man Taketh

by

Ugh, taxes.  We have never owed before, but this year Uncle Sam held his hand out for about $2,300. It hurt, ya’ll. I can’t say that I didn’t have an inkling that this would happen.  For the last couple of years we have adjusted our withholding so that we would not get a refund at the end of the year.  I’d rather have that money year round than let the government hold on to it interest free for a year. Well, last year I did not figure it correctly and it kind of came back and bit me.  Luckily, we had what we needed to cover it.  It impacted our debt repayment plan a bit but I’m thankful that we had enough in savings to cover it. Hopefully this year I’ll do a better job with my figures!
