Did my taxes today. Took less time than expected. Only major issue was figuring out where to include my Franchise Tax payments. (Since TurboTax changes it every year). Turns out it just basically went under “taxes, misc”.
So I billed roughly the same this year as the previous year. But I had less expenses. So practically, I made more money. I have almost zero debt. (About $300 on my sole credit card). And while I am short on cash at the moment, somewhat due to awaiting payments from clients, I am relatively stable. Taxes paid. Almost no debt. Expected income. Work for the foreseeable future.
I can think of worse conditions to be in.
