It’s April 13th and I haven’t done my taxes yet.
They are simple. I made a little bit of money, and paid taxes as I went along. Should be simple, no? But the Feds only sent me the 1049 EZ form in […]
Will someone please explain to me why the people who have the least money, and who spend the largest percentage of their income, have to be the ones to spend MORE money to get this economy rolling again?
Think about it. Thanks, JP, for making me think about it again.
The government is giving us […]
When I got back to the US, I had $400 in my pocket. I don’t have any money saved for retirement, or a vacation, or even one of those groovy, flat screen televisions. I have, however, put aside enough for a rainy day that I’m not panicked about an unforeseen emergency, and that’s better than […]

I don’t know what to do.
HR wants these forms back pronto, and I’m absolutely stumped. W-4! State taxes! Withholdings, exemptions, and how many deductions do you take??
The one thing I do know: unless I go to court and have us declared legally separated, I can’t claim head of household on my taxes. There is a […]
No, it’s not a cult. Kate over at Babylune is in, how ’bout you?
It’s a group started in San Francisco (where else?) that made a promise not to buy anything new for a year. I wrote about it over at Inside Motherhood (read “Can you live with less? The Compact is inspiring change“). From time […]
Hello, there, single mom. How you doing? Staring at your empty pocket where the holidays burned a big hole?

As you may have noticed, this single mother blog has mostly been about keeping it all together and making the most of what little time you have. It’s where my life is, at this moment. I thought I’d put together a list of what I’ve learned, in the hope that it helps.
