Tax update!🚨Today, the Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service announced that the federal income tax filing due date (and payment due date) for individuals for the 2020 tax year will be automatically extended from April 15, 2021, to May 17, 2021.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We still encourage you to consider filing as soon as possible, especially if you think you're owed a refund! Filing electronically with direct deposit is the quickest way to get your refund, and it can help some taxpayers more quickly receive any remaining stimulus payments they may be entitled to.

Have you filed your 2020 taxes yet?

When I got married, I created a new email address

When I got married, I created a new email address for my new name. I use this email for all of my “high” priority emails.📩
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I then converted my old email address with my maiden name to be used for “low” priority emails.🚫
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Every time a store asks me for my email, I give them my old address. This way, all of the coupons and spam emails go to that email and it doesn’t clog up my main email address. I also don’t have notifications turned on for the old address, so I’m not notified of every sale every single store seems to be offering every weekend. 🤣This has helped me not spend money on things I don’t need! BUT when I do want to shop, I open up the old email and check to see if there are any deals or coupons I can use.💯

Do you do this? Let me know if you start!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I hope you’re able to celebrate love today - whe

I hope you’re able to celebrate love today - whether that’s with friendships, your significant other, yourself or total strangers.

Brady went to the store this morning and saw a homeless man trying to escape the cold. When he got home, he told me about this and I couldn’t let it go since it feels like negative 21 degrees in Minnesota today. 😭❄️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We found some hand and foot warmers we had laying around and I put them in baggies and drove back to the store to try to find him and offer it to him.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Unfortunately I couldn’t find him, but I decided to add $5 coffee shop giftcards to my baggies and store in my car so that the next time we see someone in need, we can offer it to them. The great thing about the coffee shop gift card is it (obviously) gives them a hot cup of coffee, but more importantly, it gives them the ability to stay in a warm coffee shop all day (the true gift).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I think you should want to give back to your community without having to tell people about it, but I never would have thought about this coffee shop tip had it not been for another mom posting about it (shout out to @theorderlymom ).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So I challenge you to give back in some way this month. Tag me @financiallyengaged to let me know what you do and spread other good ideas for others to get inspiration from! I’ll reshare them all 💕

The more people that can learn from you, the more people we can help!

Happy Valentine’s Day 🖤
