Congrats @SOSConcern. ShawD is also pushing to complete her MSN and has to get in enough clinical hours to graduate in May – she had pneumonia which knocked out her spring break where she was planning to put in a bunch of hours. She’ll soon be off the payroll (mostly – it could take a while to disentangle cell phones, credit cards, etc.).
Taxes. While I like to get the basic outline and have figured out some approaches to keeping taxes lower than they would otherwise be, but I outsource and so my taxes have been done for a couple of weeks.
DD also had an illness issue - the wrinkle with the one class was the instructor (on just a portion of the course) was pushing for her to take a medical withdrawal for the course. No grading rubric, and with some assignments left he was saying negative comments; overall course instructor I believe intervened after a joint meeting. I told her ‘grow some guts’ and present the facts, which she did well based on the good outcome.
Any one that has been through a nursing program at a state school can find at least some kind of difficulty with one faculty member or one requirement. The private universities are a more positive environment IMHO. Once one earns their way to a certain level, faculty should help facilitate the students’ successes and provide the support to overcome any weaknesses - my experience with private nursing university has been win-win for student and school.
It figures, I finally took money out of our 529s for tuition paid in January. I should have alerted you all… That would pretty much guarantee the market would go up…
We will have 2 college grads in May. BUT, we have no idea when they will be off our books.
@doschicos, I certainly hope so. Fortunately, we saved most of the college money before college, and now we are focussing on putting more in our retirement funds. So it might actually feel like it’s costing us more, because it’s a different bucket of money.
I’m sure its a relief to have some obligations finished, @1214mom. I made my last tuition payment for one of mine so it is good to see a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel.
“The term you are looking for is ‘nominee’ dividends.”
In turbo tax, it appears that one can only put in nominee dividends that are received, not paid out. It may be possible to put in negative values but it also requires the name of the recipient. In my case, this is unknown.
I haven’t watched as much NHL since the kids stopped playing hockey (one still plays, as he calls it, left bench for the Yale club hockey team ). But, the Stanley Cup in on today. To me, Warrior is a hockey equipment manufacturer. What is this game you speak of, with a round ball, played at room temperature?
