Glad to work with the tax guy virtually. Taxes are filed and the state refund is already in the bank. I'm glad to have this done even though there's an extension.  I also opened up an additional retirement account at work because one time in my life I took it as a challenge to see how much money I could siphon off my paycheck without noticing and live on less. As a single parent living as lean as possible so I could take care of myself in retirement was a smart thing. It seems so weird to be closer to retirement than working too long. I always thought I'd have to work until I was 65 but that's not the case, thankfully. The time went so fast and now I want to look at the things I might have missed out on. I want to live my life a little slower now.
