Before I get to today’s topic (some thoughtful guidance on spotting an IRS tax scam) let’s discuss this…It’s that time of year when spending seems to really kick in. Yes, I know we’re still in September, but all of these holidays that seem to mysteriously demand extra...

There’s something about a new work week that gets you thinking about how you want to spend the weekend. The same goes for planning a vacation once you get back from one. Work is fulfilling, but life’s "rest times" are what San Antonio people like you and I work so...

You’re tackling a lot when you own a business. And these days, staff retention and the pressures of inflation make it that much harder to stay on top of it all. It’s easy to forget things (or miss them), and that could easily land you in hot water.If you’ve got...

There’s a lot of upheaval in Washington (and across the country) over this whole student loan forgiveness decision from the White House. Some San Antonio people are exultant, some are… well, less than thrilled.For the extremely-online-all-the-time crowd, it’s likely...

You likely were invited to one San Antonio wedding or another this summer (or perhaps YOU were doing the inviting?) ... 'tis the season. If you were the one saying vows, many congrats! Weddings are the fun part. The part of that whole "two become one" reality...

87,000. All weekend I’ve seen that number flashing through the headlines – and I’ve seen the panic on the part of some of my San Antonio clients. A quick recap, if you’re in the non-news-imbibing crowd:The perhaps-Orwellian-named Inflation Reduction Act (or...

A little thing called inflation has been plastered all over the news cycle for the last few months now... and it’s taking its toll on San Antonio people. And to add to the difficulty of stretching those hard-earned dollars… increasing interest rates, rising...

The British saying “Keep calm and carry on” seems like a good motto to live by in uncertain times like these. Still, a little freak-out about what lies ahead is totally normal, even expected.Plunging ahead through the rest of 2022, which is most likely to be rough...

There’s something truly American about the summer family road trip. Piling into the car with your luggage and favorite snacks in tow, getting out on the miles and miles of paved road, gazing at the stretches of wild scenery (or maybe just fields and cows)... it’s all...
