  • Thinking through major tax changes, including why I finally ponied up for a CPA and what they’ll be doing
  • Estimating and planning with irregular income
  • Identifying new retirement contribution targets
  • Revisiting the slush fund concept for covering lean cash flow months
  • Penciling out a realistic spending plan
