In trying to get educated on the possible tax changes that MAY occur, we stumbled across one idea that we felt worth sharing.
Please do not take this as a forecast for what tax changes MAY occur, no one knows, but in this tax seminar the speaker brought up an interesting strategy, that if in the correct circumstance, may be worth a try.
If you do not intend to itemize i.e. Use the standard deduction in 2020, it may be worth paying your property tax for 2020 in 2021 on the possible chance a different tax rule MAY occur in 2021.
Again, no one knows for sure on tax changes, only a very low downside technique since not itemizing in 2020 essentially nullifies the use of your property tax in this tax year. Here is a reference to the strategy, before recent tax laws phased this technique out!
Sorry for the heavy on a Friday… we just caught wind of this and wanted to spread the word as fast as possible!
Have a Good Friday and super weekend!
Have a Great “Possible Tax Savings” Technique Day!

Staying Invisible on the Internet
With concerns of our personal information being constantly delivered/sold to others, we found this really neat chart, here in our post as a great guide on staying invisible on the internet.
The chart is HUGE, noting the many ways we are being tracked this day and age… lots of neat, stop tracking me techniques included…
Capital Market Comments –
Good News – Such Fast Movements May Not Last as Long
One time when being fast may be to our benefit …
Markets that throw a quick hissy fit frequently get their feet under themselves …
Using the Great Recession of 07-09 as a guide (below) – BTW we DO NOT think this is what we are experiencing… it took years for the drop to occur, not days…
We may be experiencing a slow motion 87, 91 or 99 like drop, which were faster, briefer, caused by outside worry and forces, but certainly concerning at the time!
Let’ all buckle up and be thankful we NEVER drive fast – time will tell!
Have a Great Day – Talk to you at the end of January!
