I sleep at 10 PM and wake up at 4AM
4 to 5.30 I generally go for a walk with my dog
5.30 to 10.30 is where all my serious thinking happens - so meetings that need me to take impactful decisions happen at that time .
After that its chores - routine decisions , training , Approvals type stuff
If I have a choice - I do client meetings before 10.30 - but not always possible
From around 3PM - I take a 90 mins break from work
Then again from 6.30 to 8.30 I take a break
8.30 to sleep time is largely e-mails etc

I try as hard as possible to not work on weekends . Doesn't always happen - but mostly does

Hi tax 🐠,

I have a question for those who prep individual tax returns. My parents claim my grandfather as a dependent on their tax return and due to their low income, receive PTC for the premiums they pay on his insurance (not eligible for medicare). However, would it be advantageous to have him file for his own tax return (he stays with my parents and doesn't have his own proof of residency via bills). If so, can he get PTC if his income is 0?

What is the partner compensation like at BDO? Base/equity as well as pension. I heard there is 5 years as fixed partner and then 10 as variable partner before you can earn pension.
