Tax Week Blues: Mastering Your Finances

This week, many of us breathed a collective sigh of relief as tax season came to a close. For some, it was a frantic dash to the post office, while others may have felt a sense of accomplishment at having filed their taxes on time. As for me, it was a thrilling adventure involving a 12-block sprint to ensure my checks were postmarked by the deadline.

The Agony of Waiting

Now that the dust has settled, I’m left waiting anxiously for my tax refund to arrive. It’s a nerve-wracking experience, especially when you’re unsure of exactly how much you’ll be getting back. In my case, I’ve been worried about saving money lately, thanks to a peculiar situation involving freelance checks and cross-country travel.
