Had a great time catching up & handing out gifts with & to some clients last week! Even though it ended up being a cold & rainy day, we all enjoyed ourselves. (I have to get better at taking pictures, we took a few at the very beginning and none after that 😂)

A lot of us use a 401(k), so how does it really work? Here are some tips- though, it doesn't mention how taxes work.

Remember that (for example), every time you contribute $100, your taxable income is lowered by $100. Later, when you withdraw that $100 plus interest- say $150 total- all $150 is added onto your income.

Good luck to each & every one of you with your stimulus checks. I'll feel a nice twinkle in my toe if I ever get it, but I don't think it'll change my life. Do you have any special plans for your $600 (or less if you make over $75k net individually)?

If you're missing a stimulus check, you can claim it as a credit on your upcoming tax return. But that doesn't necessarily mean you will get a bigger refund.
