Ever since visiting southeast Asia last year, I have been intrigued with Buddhism. It is one of the five largest religions in the world, with several different branches, called schools, existing within the religion. The teachings of the Buddha have evolved over time to become a practical guide for living a full and rewarding life. I am not too interested in the religious aspect of it but more the daily living practices on being calm, grateful, at peace, and how I can live a better life.

We have our 2011 tax meeting this week with our accountant. We own an S corporation and have a few employees, so we have a CPA prepare our taxes every year. Honestly, he is worth his weight in gold; the tax rules make my head spin. I'm in close contact with their office through out the year, so there are never any surprises at tax time. In all honesty, tax season goes fairly smoothly for us.

The following is a guest post from Sierra at Ocean Dreams. She shares her own money saving journey with you to hopefully help inspire some that are just starting on that path. Let’s be honest, saving money for me has always been a struggle. I was raised with frugal parents that tried to install in me proper money management and even though I always paid off everything on time, I never managed to save money.
