After we learned of our CPAs death, we asked around for recommendations for a new one. Thankfully we got the name of someone that multiple folks recommended. The turn around was a little more than a week, I think. And the cost went down by $50! This person is younger and also a lawyer so we feel really good about the possbility of staying with them into retirement. I'm so excited about this possibilty and later after tax season, we might meet up to share a meal. We're going to get about $2k back between state and federal. We also are getting a little bit more from our real estate tax refund. They also gave us a good strategy for how to handle my spouse's new part time job.

So I work for the state and because of covid, there was less usage of health insurance so they decided to "give back" the surplus as a premium vacation. This month of March we don't have to pay our insurance premiums. I think that will reflect around a increase of $250. I'm not sure what our plans will be for that. I know my spouse wants to purchase a different couch for our main floor. When either of us can't sleep well (sick, wiggly, insomnia) we leave. I go to our lower level but they don't feel comfortable there so they sleep on the couch but it's not comfortable for sleeping. I'd rather not have to buy a new couch when the one we have is perfectly fine except for the need to sleep there. They want to get a small sectional and to be honest, I hate shopping.
