Our CPA did an extension on our NMA taxes because of their load. Not an issue and today it was all done; just a bit to pay and all the technology worked.

The difference between doing your taxes exactly on April 15th and then submitted on time (can produce amazing stress and rushed data and work). We felt like we had additional time and it gave our “business” discussions some extra thinking and breathing time. And it has been good. We have revised how we are spending some our dollars and how we are saving some of our dollars. It feels good.

So if you have a deadline that does not allow thinking; planning; revisiting a strategy, maybe it is time to take a breath and have a discussion. I like our new strategies made with forethought and less stress. How about you, have you given yourself some space to really think about your money and not just react to the illusion of “not enough”?
