Kids Say the Wildest Things

Here's a cool video that explains what it is like to be a tax accountant....well maybe in the "old" world of accounting. Personally I could only relate my past experiences to what the kids describe in the video. The "new" world of accounting is so much more exciting.

So check out the video, send it to your accountant and see if they can relate.

Celebrity Tax Problems – A Year in Review

With the economy being as tough as it has been this past year, many individuals have been too busy focusing on their own financial issues to really focus on the tax issues of others. Well luckily with a little research on the web and a review of all daily tax e-mail (yes I did keep the whole years worth), I am able to present a year in review of celebrity tax problems. You would think that with all the money these people make or have made that they would at least put some aside for Uncle Sam. Oh well guess not.

Some of the more famous (or infamous) on the list include:

• The Black Eyed Peas
• Sinbad
• Nicolas Cage
• Pamela Anderson
• “The Governator” Schwarzenegger
• Rapper Nas
• Rapper Method Man
• Boxer Floyd Mayweather
• Golfer Jim Thorpe
• Singers Foxy Brown and Toni Braxton

Wow typing this post makes me almost feel like a reporter on one of those tabloids TV shows. Be sure not to use any of these people’s accountants.

A Little Humor (and I do mean little)

Poking fun at the economy is quite hard considering all the bad news that is occurring lately, but I did come across an article that makes a pretty good attempt. The article is entitled “Top 12 Indicators That the Economy Is Still Bad” and although the article does deal with some serious issues, the ending may give you a chuckle while reading it at your desk.

The main point for small business owners in this economy is to stay focused on streamlining their business processes and operations and look for additional ways to bring in more revenue. So now is a good time to take a look at your strategies and make sure that they are still viable in this economy. A slow economy is a great time to think outside the box and go against the grain. So take that leap of faith and it may produce the results you are looking for.
