Side hustles can open doors — extra income, new skills, a more control over your time. But when tax season rolls around, that freedom can suddenly feel complicated. Unlike a W-2 job, no one’s setting money aside for you. So when April hits, a lot of side hustlers get blindsided by a tax bill they didn’t see coming. That’s especially painful when most earn less than $500 a month and rely on it to make […]
When the IRS assigns a Revenue Officer (RO) to your case, it means your file moved from automated letters to active, personal collection. ROs can verify assets, request financials, and, if compliance steps are missed, recommend levies, liens, or asset seizures.

Every year around this time, I have the same conversation with at least one physician friend. It usually starts with something like, “Peter, my CPA just told me how much I owe in taxes this year. I was shocked!” Maybe you’ve had that same moment. You work hard, take extra calls, build side income, and then the tax bill hits. You look at the number and wonder how it’s even possible to send that much […]

As I enter my fifth month of pregnancy with my second baby, the inevitable is happening. Fewer clothes are fitting and, for me, expensive new maternity clothes aren’t an option. It’s hard to pay $30-40 for a dress I’ll only wear for five or six months. Of course, you could wear it longer — but most moms, like myself, want to get out of maternity clothes as soon as possible. A lot of women suggest […]

Ever since President Trump trotted out that giant poster board on Liberation Day, there have been two competing narratives over how this would turn out. Economists have warned that the tariffs, which ranged from 15% to 50%, would ultimately be paid by consumers. The White House, on the other hand, has insisted that tariffs are basically free money for the government and that they would lower prices by bringing foreign investment back into the US. […]

I just got back from the 2025 Bogleheads Conference in San Antonio. One of the pieces of feedback I heard repeatedly was how much people appreciated the session on trusts by estate planning attorneys Jenny Rozelle and Justin Schuhmacher. Not a surprise, given that Jenny Rozelle presented last year as well, and her session was repeatedly mentioned as one of people’s favorites. Coincidentally, Rozelle was Jon Luskin’s guest on the most recent episode of the […]
I met with my my colleagues recently for lunch who were all retired. They range in their 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. The one that has been retired the longest has been retired since 2011, or almost 14 years ago.

In 1946, George Orwell wrote an essay called Politics and the English Language. He was tired of how people used vague, bloated language to hide weak ideas. He said: “If thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.” Orwell wasn’t just talking about politicians. He was talking about everyone who hides behind words. The kind of writing that sounds smart but says nothing. The kind that uses phrases like “leverage synergies” or “drive holistic alignment.” […]
