Well, I did it.

Finally, after four years, I have gotten my Tax in order.
It was almost as painful as I thought it would be but the tax department let slide a few things I was sure I would be pulled through the wringer for.

One must declare ALL income when running their own business.

So ending result was all interests were waived on fines that were paid in full and I would have been happy to break even but I still manage to pocket a cool $3500.00.

The best thing is my wife and I have just found a school and the course we would like to complete and the price was great for full cash payment. But, alas, this would take 16 weeks to save for.

However, now its only a matter of two weeks before the coin hits the account and we can begin.

Going back to school and changing careers has been one of my biggest dreams for the last year.

I work in the heavy engineering side of things and we are always out in the yards in the 40 degree heat or 5 degree cold.

I know many make the pilgrimage from the office to the hands on industry but I do not want to be swinging spanners in two years time.

I want to be in a nice office.
Weather will not dictate the enjoyment of my day.
My skin will not be punished for some evil chemical I must be submerged in.

Although, between this dream and I lies one year of study and a few thousand dollars.

A small obstacle for a motivated man, I assure you.

I guess my goals for 2010 will be to get a solid foundation down.

First will be to get a good $10 000.00 saved and then get the first course I need out of the way.

These two things would be my biggest goals for the year.
