It’s that time of year and there are a lot of income tax changes.  My goal is for you to optimize your 2008 Jennifer Kazwell, tax experttax benefits.  To this end I will be exploring these changes over the next few weeks in depth on Kazwell.com.  Here is a summary of a few of the items you need to know and we will be looking at in detail in articles to come:

Rich Dad Poor DadIf you, as I, read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" years ago, read it again, now!  On the other hand, if you never read it before; do so as soon as possible.  Robert Kiyosaki's message has never been more relevant than today!
