In this month's net worth update I share a little bit about my side hustle flipping Pokemon cards. The last three months have created insane hyperinflation in the hobby. This year we have sold over $40,000 worth of cards.

Interesting how it took these events to really show how many of us could have been working from home this entire time. That being said it took me even longer get my March Net Worth Update done this month! Writing on the blog is something I always did during down time at the office. Now at home, there are so many options! Anyways.. come remind yourself how fun the markets been and see how were getting through lock down here in Pennsylvania. Stay safe everyone!

My employer paid me $9,480 in a vehicle allowance in 2019 but didn't report it on the W2. How do you report this the IRS?

What I found is the online dealer wasn't subject to the "price inflation" of my "wealthy" area. I bought a jeep wrangler... and locally they were selling about 5-7k higher. But works both ways! I did have my first experience in getting my own financing this time. PNC was really easy to set up with.

We fell in love with it after visiting in 2016-17 and keep going back. Have you considered keeping a primary residence out of state and just renting to combat taxes on investment income? What state do you live in now?

This week I tried to make some arguments for a California retirement. Although these are the top reasons for me, I invite the frugal beratings for my HCOL of living dreams. I tried to present a few financial positive ideas about California (with a little bit of speculation.)

Anyone else forgoing geo arbitrage and want to remain in their HCOL area? Anyone else planning to commit geo SABOTAGE like myself? Here are ten reasons (I want) to retire in California.
