We used to be able to deduct all the materials I bought for my classroom; those days are gone. I can now deduct $250 for all materials, and union fees.

I tahe the standard teacher deduction. I told my tax person that I spent way more than that and he told me an itemized tax form would be a lot more for him to process and it wasn't woth the money.

Cross posted: Has anyone ever heard of this type of real estate private equity fund structure:

I’m not bad with money but definitely lots of room to improve overall, due to several personal factors I don’t want to list in full here (numerous unanticipated medical bills, bad boyfriends, etc.) Hence why I only have $3k in savings right now. My first mini goal is to have $5k saved by the end of December. I need motivation and words of encouragement. If I pay off my medical bills, I won’t make my goal. I have to start putting saving money first. Getting depressed about my situation.

I’m saving up for a first home (3-5 yrs out, 30k saved) and looking for insights on safe amount to spend. HHI 300k (very recently doubled), 30k student debt, children in next few years, 29yo. We enjoy spending on vacations and hobbies so lower fixed costs, and interested in FI. Trying to figure out a balance between getting a dream home but setting up a secure future. We live in NE so housing and tax is high and stressed by the sticker. Any insights would be appreciated
