Sometimes I feel like I should pay to have someone do my taxes because I hear people talk about getting huge returns back and I wonder what I'm doing wrong, like I'm missing out on some deductions. At any rate, I should get a few hundred back, which will be going straight into savings. This is a huge change over the past few years when it went straight to paying off credit cards. Oh the joy of not having those dumb cards weighing me down. I'm hoping to get back to Italy this summer, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to save up enough. If that doesn't work, I'm thinking a kayak and rack for my car so I can make my own trips
