As most of you all know, I’m a big, big believer in everything happening for a reason.  Heaven, hell, god, not so much.  Fate? Absolutely.

The tax situation, at last update, was that we owed about 1k, IF I put 2k in my IRA.  I deposited the 2k, and have been waiting til the last minute to file and pay the actual tax.  Since then, though, I got paid for doing the tourney games (300) and a check for being part of a tech study (200) and some miscellaneous checks (100), and now, I’ve sold my car to the first buyer (500).  Add that up, and you get almost EXACTLY what we need for our tax bill, without going into our savings or checking account.  Sure, I had to deposit the 2k to my IRA, but honestly, that will pay off in the end, anyway.  Awesome.

My car sold, but I still have it, because they need to get plates and the last 100 bucks to me.  I did feel slightly shady getting twenty 20 dollar bills counted out to me by the dumpsters behind the Ground Round, but such is life.
