Jun. 10th, 2026 11:00 pmR. and I went out to dinner, and sat on the porch. We joked about how funny it would be if the Bs were inside at the bar having dinner. Turns out they were! Next time I make that joke, I’m going to walk around and look. They saw my car but assumed it was someone else’s. LOL
I applied for the duplex in Fitchburg on T.’s behalf.
I reached out to Pods during normal business hours and set up a pod delivery for my sister and her family, and that actually went very smoothly, so I also reached out to Gentle Giant for ours.
ETA: I did some cash management and actually explained why, right down to how I calculate estimateds, to my broker. He has a CFP cert and he is delightful in every way. But it turns out that even CFPs have questions sometimes, and he wanted to know why I was using .318 as a multiplier for one calculation. This required explaining how cap gains triggers AMT, and that plus the NIIT = .318. There are some additional developments in OBBB in terms of phaseouts that definitely does not help at all.
It turns out there is an additional cert for tax planning (Tax Planning Certified Professional). Who knew.
