Like most kids his age, my five-year-old son has a very short attention span. It could be from all the video games he plays, or it could just be that age, ya know? At any rate, it’s very hard to get him to sit still for more than 30 minutes at a time — [...]
We’re nearing the end of the month (EOM), which means there are a bunch of accounting tasks I have to tend to. Since the IRS considers me self-employed, I must keep meticulous records of all the financial transactions related to my freelance writing business, including how much I’ve earned, how much I’ve been paid, how [...]
