Hey everyone, it’s Whatever Wednesdays again and today is just going to be a short post about my experience with “Disney Plus“. Disney Plus? Yea. Most likely you’ve heard of Disney’s new streaming platform which is supposed to go head-to-head with Netflix. You didn’t think it was pulling all of its content from Netflix back in 2017 for no reason right? In the age of everyone trying to “cut the cord” of cable and get […]

I am hopeful that the new email system will work […]

This made it difficult for me to use my APAP machine last night too. Don’t worry, I don’t think I’m “sick”, perhaps it’s just a combination of feeling tired and some allergies. I won’t be missing work or anything either. That said, I […]

Hey everyone, it’s Veteran’s Day. Today, we honor our military veterans. I was always taught to use the phrase “Thank you for your service.” I thought that was the best way to thank a veteran. However, recent research has demonstrated that as many as half of veterans feel uncomfortable when told that. Others feel this phrase is so overused that is almost an “empty platitude”. The poll found that instead of saying the simple thank […]

Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays again. Today is just going to be a short post about highlighting the “2020 Changes” regarding retirement contributions and taxes. 2020 Changes First things first, you can read all about it direct from the IRS: Retirement Contributions 2020 Taxes (44 pages!)
