We continue our conversation from Episode 13 with JC Corrigan, CFP, about what to consider financially at year's end.  We get into some pretty specific scenarios that may not apply to all people, but are worth understanding.  We start out with self-employed individuals and their deductions and write-offs.  Then, we discuss ways to motivate yourself to create savings goals and hit them rather than just "try" to reduce spending.  We end with health insurance planning (check out Episode 11 for more detailed information) and funding a 529 plan if you have children.  We end with a discussion about books we have recently read and recommendations.
