Cody Writes at Night
This is the time of the year when the local kids will get their payback. After listening to all their noise over the summer, I am looking forward to giving them a scare when Halloween comes. I have a few tricks planned for them.
My garage holds many boxes that are filled to the brim with scary items. I plan to spend part of this weekend sorting it out and getting it ready to put out. I just want the kids to know that if they want my treats, they will have to get some of my tricks!
This week marked the end of the life of Steve Jobs. He died at the age of 56 from cancer. Steve was one of the founders of Apple Inc and had a hand in many of the products it produced. He also ended up acquiring the company Pixar that was then purchased by Disney.
In the process of all this, Steve managed to have quite a fortune when he died. His wealth was estimated to be around $6.7 billion dollars. What will happen to the money is still unknown, but I’m sure his family will inherit a large percentage of the money.
There has been much discussion about the economy lately. Trying to plan for the future has been difficult at best. That’s why when my daughter was trying to figure out what field of work she wanted to enter; we decided to look into all of the options. One of these was that she might want to become a tax preparer. It’s a field that is guaranteed to have steady work over the years.
My daughter has always been good with numbers and did well in her accounting classes. She also has an eye for detail. That would make it easy for her to think about getting a tax preparer certification. All she needs to do is a little studying and she would be on her way. The problem was trying to find a resource that had the information she needed.
After looking online for awhile, I came across a site called fastforwardacademy.com. They have a selection of products that can help people get the knowledge and experience they need to pass the exam and start their new future. I sent my daughter all the details and she was excited to hear about it. I am glad she now has a good plan for her career. Maybe I can finally get my own taxes done for free as well!
