@Kevin Olson, @Shawn Connors, @Drew Markert, @Mark Spidell, @Eric Brundige, @Weiwei Gao, @Jon H, @Craig Moore, @Jeffrey Havis Sr, @Betsy Tidwell, @Nicole m, @Brenda Snyder, @Jorge Hernandez, @Charmaine M., @William Faddis,What are you all doing now to get off the day to day W2 grind?

Not surprisingly this drew the IRS's attention and I was audited, with everything working out just fine.The bottom line isn't to advocate using credit cards, in fact you can severely destroy your financial situation if you don't know what you're doing with CC's.

Like your feedback @Drew Sygit I'm definitely open an transparent, probably too much. lol But hey it is better to be honest because it makes it easier to remember.
