1099 you’re still reliant on someone else for a paycheck and now you have the headache of business accounting

You get a big tax break under the new law for being independent, so there's that. I've thought about it, and have been working on building a network of potential clients. It's harder when you need to find work on your own and can't depend on working with a team to make it happen.

Seeking some advice for home buying. Went under contract on a new construction back in March, was originally supposed to be ready in August but has been delayed until November. I’ve began getting quotes for mortgage rates through lenders and the best I’ve seen so far is 5.75% (excellent credit, dp at 10%) at a 60 day lock. Debating if I should test my luck with the market to see if rates will drop or if I should go ahead and lock my rate in before Rates increase even more

My daughter just turned 14 months and she’s so fun! Starting to walk and talk. She says dada all the time. It’s just amazing. I’m looking for suggestions on things to do together. The weather is terrible so we are mostly in the house. She doesn’t really like to read but she loves it when we make up stories and do voices with her stuffed animals. She also loves playing with blocks and stacking toys.
