How Will You Spend Your 2007 Tax Return? (HHH#2)

How Will You Spend Your 2007 Tax Return? (HHH#2)

It’s almost “D-Day” for taxes with less than 3 weeks left to file, and I’ve been giving a few gifts recently that may help out and I wanted to pass on as appreciation to my readers! The format is very similar to the last “Hank’s Handout” post with over $200 in prizes! The rules are [...]

Hanks Weekly Hangouts #22 (March 22, 2008)

Strange how that works out, Hangout #22 falls on the 22nd. Must be a sign! Go buy a lottery ticket, quick! Another good week at MIB, readership via RSS increased 13% I believe due to a few new advertising structures I’m bouncing around including Entrecard and StumbleUpon Ads. I’ll be discussing those a bit more [...]

Hanks Weekly Hangouts #21 (March 15, 2008)

This week has been a good week all around for MyInvestingBlog. We had close to 10,000 visitors thanks to a few viral posts, “How do I publicize my blog“, “will Brett Favre’s retirement affect the stock market“, and “a slick StumbleUpon option you may not know about“. Sold a few advertisementing spots and started up [...]

Monthly Net Worth Update March 2008 (+2.42%)

Things are still on the upswing this month, up 2.42% from last month. My 401k recovered from a pretty big dump the month prior; but my wife’s is still shooting ahead MUCH faster with another 10% increase this month! REREX and TRRDX are proving to be big backers for her and her 1,2 punch. DODFX [...]

Hanks Weekly Hangouts #20 (March 8, 2008)

This week had a lot of ups and downs. CNN posted a pretty sweet article on timing what Uncle Sam gets but Brett Favre hung up his cleats also. The weather was sunny in the Pacific northwest for the first time since the rain started back in May, so that’s a good thing…

Hanks Weekly Hangouts #19 (March 1, 2008)

I churned out the new version of M.I.B. this week and I’ve got to admit, I’m pretty impressed with what Jon was able to cook up. He’s got the design down pat! Love his work and if anyone is looking for someone to help with their design, let me know because I’m happy to refer [...]

Do I Have To Pay Taxes For Stuff I Sell On Ebay?

Hey Hank, I sold about $3,000 worth or my old things on Ebay last year. Do They send a 1099? Do I need to report it? I know the US government wants me to, but do I REALLY need to? – Ed from Kansas A good question Ed, and let me start it off (to [...]

Hanks Weekly Hangouts #18 (February 23, 2008)

Stumbling the blogosphere this week landed me on a lot of new sites. A lot of them themed around travel. I haven’t planned anything for this year yet, but last year landed me in the “land down under.” Where I will land this year is a mystery for now; for me, my wife, and the [...]
