(GCC: I am often asked, “Do you know any good CPAs?” and “What are some good tools for doing my taxes?” I never thought both questions could share a common answer – Kathryn from Making Your Money Matter is a CPA (who gets it) who has developed some very cool tools for doing taxes (and more) that cost less than an hour with a CPA.

I remember the first time I found Go Curry Cracker and read one of Jeremy’s blog posts going through his tax return in detail. It covered his then-recently filed 2015 tax return, with over six figures of income and still no income tax due (only a small amount of self-employment taxes).
I’d like to say that I—a CPA—was intuitively able to do a quick review of the numbers and figure out pretty fast how this worked out. However, I had to pull out a pen and paper and calculate it by hand just to make sure it made sense.
Each spring since, I’ve looked forward to the annual tax return reveal. (GCC: 2021 tax return coming soon!)
If you have ever wondered, How can I optimize my taxes in the same way… without all the hassle of becoming a tax nerd first, well… have I got a tool for you.

Recently my wife I stayed at the Miraval Resort in Austin, Texas, a luxury wellness spa on the banks of Lake Travis just a short drive from downtown. This was an aspirational property for us and since it’s bookable with Hyatt points it was within reach given our stockpile of points that we’ve been sitting on due to limited international travel over the past year. We stayed for two nights in mid-October while celebrating my wife’s birthday and were blown away with the experience.
If you’re thinking about booking a stay here, here’s what you can expect.
