[Teh One Who Knocks]

I just bought a super duper bed with a super duper mattress to the tune of $3400. I can't afford a $3000 wheelchair right now.

And cheaply. Unless there's some kind of surgery involved, these are gonna take a while. I might have to go into the hospital for a short spell. Everything's up in the air right now. Gotta wait and see.

Man, I need to become a tax accountant. The dude I go to is making a killing. He charged me $125 to do my bullshit no-nothing taxes.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Why not just do them yourself?

[PorkChopSandwiches]

Yeah if they are basic you can do them for free online and its easy

How?

I can't use their free edition. I have itemized deductions from medical expenses.

How?

freetaxusa.com

It's the site I use every year. It's free, doesn't matter if you itemize. And they keep all your records right there so you can go back and access past records if you need them.

[PorkChopSandwiches]

Then thats not no-nothing taxes.

But even still if thats the only thing, probably fairly easy still and cheaper. IDK, I stopped doing my own taxes a long time ago, usually a good tax guy makes up his fee in your return, otherwise get a new tax guy

Thanks, Lance, I'll check it out for next year.

Are you having to claim your crypto this year?

[DemonGeminiX]

yeah I'd imagine you dont have the run of the mill wheel you out at the hospital ones

Nah, I have a Quickie GPV. An older one. It's served me well over the years, but the casters mounted on the frame is proving to be a problem right now. I'm looking at some of the ultralight titanium ones or one of the newer carbon fiber ones. It helps that the frames are different and the casters are away from it. Also, most of them are around or less than 10 lbs and can hold more than 250 lbs advertised. I'm not that heavy, but I'm ruthless. They might be able to stand up to my daily abuse. And I have abused the living shit out of my wheelchair. That's why I kept replacing parts over the years. I kept breaking them.

You dont claim it unless you cash out (like stock earnings) I'm not cashing out anytime soon. If I hit 100k I may cash out and buy a vacation house

Assholes who run our Strata finally caved and re-opened the gym in our building... it's a tiny gym, dead easy to have a sign-up to limit numbers (which they've done now). We're all part owners of the strata so there's no real liability risk from someone getting sick and suing what is essentially themselves. I work in liability for strata/condo buildings and tried to tell them their concerns were not grounded in reality, but they didn't listen until we got a new property manager this month who talked sense into the board.

Anyways, that's in the past now. Went for a proper workout for the first time in a year today. My energy and mood is 100x better than it's been in a long time. Home workouts with youtube videos just weren't the same

I'm literally in the middle of a workout now

Always feel better afterwards. It's getting started that's tricky!

P.s. I solved my strata problems by becoming the chair. I wouldn't do it again though. One of the most frustrating parts of apartment living
