I spent my first waking moments of 2014 removing W from my health benefits per her request in an email from a few weeks ago. She said starting Jan 1 she would have her own coverage, so I removed her based on that request in writing.
This allowed me to start out 2014 by doing a $5500 Roth conversion, withholding tax through payroll deduction for what I was paying for her benefits, I otherwise probably wouldn't have been able to do this.
My parents and I are heading to Austin for the day to visit one of my best friends from college, cook out and watch bowl games with he and his girlfriend. It should be a stellar time. I'm trying to remain positive.
Also, tomorrow is my birthday. I know, almost a New Year's baby, I haven't heard that one before! I have to work tomorrow, but that's fine, I'm hoping that people will be into discussing developing financial plans now that the calendar has changed and the holidays are behind us.
I wish all of you a wonderful start to 2014, vow to make yourself awesome this year!
