The Score

Published by John under Our Blog

I am really excited because two of my sisters-in-law are having babies this year…Megan any day now. The most exciting part is that we don’t know if they are girls or boys. I think it is about time we get another boy, but I also think it would be fun to say we have 9 nieces and only 1 nephew. Here is the score so far…

Boys: 1, Girls: 7

Money $$$

Peter Schiff is a really smart guy. On May 9th 2002, he foretold the economic future of the country. His predictions where against what the current market was doing in 2002. However in 2008 they are starting to come true.

The clip below gets really good at 4:50 min.

People make me mad.

Published by John under Our Blog

Sometimes, I am amazed at how short sighted people are. In addition to being short sighted, some people are very selfish and lack any personal responsibility. A perfect example of this is the video clip below.

According to these idiots, if you purchase something on credit and it begins to depreciate, you should stop paying the loan back. This is totally broken logic. People today are trying to keep up with the other guy and spend way more money than they have.

I believe this attitude and behavior is going to collapse the economy. I think we are safe for another 6-12 months but it could get really bad by the winter of 2009. Below is some food for thought.

John.

taxes

Published by John under Our Blog

One more post for the night and then I need to take a break from blogging until next week, I’ve spent too much time reading and writing.

I just have to say, I finished my taxes and I am shocked. Our income in Utah is $3,000 less than our income in CA this year, but we are paying $119 in CA and $936 in Utah. Since I am a tax accountant I should be able to make some sense of this, but I cannot believe it.

The most annoying part is we are getting a refund from CA and we owe money to UT.

for mom

Published by John under Our Blog

I must say, regarding my previous post, I do not hate the computer, I just need to figure out how to use it to do what I want to do.

Anyway, mom, I had to take those shorts back to Disneyland. They were very see-through. So, here is what you got me for my birthday…I hope you like it…  And thank you!  I’m glad you could come visit.

As long as I have known John, he has hated pants with words on the behind. I don’t know why he decided these were okay, so I asked him. He said he thinks they are cute and they say “Disneyland” so that’s ok.
