Posted on September 15th, 2014 by Joy Schwabach

RENTING YOUR VACATION HOME
Posted on August 2nd, 2014 by Joy Schwabach
We’ve used the website “VRBO” (vacation rentals by owner) to rent a house instead of the typical hotel room. If you’ve got a home to rent to others, the website HotSpotTax.com takes some of the tax complications out. We didn’t like the one we rented, but maybe you have something better.

YAHOO IS LOOKING AT YOU
Posted on June 29th, 2013 by Joy Schwabach
Yahoo mail recently started forcing users to upgrade to a new version, or stop using Yahoo. This came off as pushy and a little scary for some of our readers. The supposed benefits are faster email, less spam, and an easier-to-use design. But not everybody is on board.
