On Let's Talk About What We're Going to Do with Our Tax Refunds
My $300 state refund (along with $300 from my just-in-case savings account) went to car repairs, blah. So some of my $970 federal refund will probably go into savings to make up for that, and then general life expenses and bills since work has been slow lately. But I'm also thinking of opening an IRA? The info on my bank's website says that Roth IRAs might be better for people who expect to be in a higher tax bracket when they retire, which I'm not sure I understand, but doesn't sound like it will be me.

@frenz.lo I used care.com to find a dog walking gig in my town, and now I take a dog to the park for an hour twice a week for $40. It's perfect for me because I love the dog and like the exercise.

@Weasley Do you have any paystubs from them? You could scan them, e-mail the scans to them, and say "Look! I made money from you! Look where it says you took money out for taxes!"

On What It's Like to Be an Extra
My experiences as an extra were both A+. I did Taking Woodstock and Salt because they were fairly local to me, and it seemed like every other day we got SAG waivers even though we weren't union. So we got the union pay. And it was really fun, and everyone I hung out with was great. Ang Lee showed me how to dance like a hippie.

On How Heidi N. Moore Does Money
@Spinach Party I mostly enjoyed this interview, but something about "you don’t get to exercise free will, and if you don’t have free will, you’re a slave" just rubs me the wrong way. Poor people are slaves? Huh? I understand that money = options, and options are great, I was just thrown by the wording I guess.

@RadScientist Someone once told me, if it's clean enough that you'll wear it again, it's clean enough to live with your other clothes. If you think it'll stink up or dirty your clean clothes, then maybe you shouldn't wear it again. That said, I do have a little ottoman in my room where questionable things live.
