As we're entering Thanksgiving week, I've been thinking about how "interesting" this year has been. And I mean that in the polite way we use to describe things that are not exactly a joyride.
The national noise was intense. Inflation nearly made eggs feel like a luxury. Economic frictions arose that none of us anticipated. I'm sure you faced a few trials in your personal life as well.
That said, acknowledging the rough patches doesn't mean we have to set up camp there. Thanksgiving gives us a sanctioned excuse to shift our attention.
And I'm willing to bet you've had a few small wins this year. Maybe you:
- Handled a bill you were dreading
- Got something paid off
- Took care of your taxes (hats off for this one)
- Stayed afloat during a tight month
Not in a "rah-rah, everything is wonderful!" way. Just in a grounded, reflective way.
The win I want to give thanks for this year? You trusting us with your financial life, with the things most people never talk about (and certainly not at the Thanksgiving dinner table).
So thank you. For choosing us to be the people you hand your numbers and questions to, and for letting us help carry the parts of your tax situation that can feel overwhelming.
The MyTaxFella team does not take lightly the privilege of walking with you and your family through job changes, unexpected detours, and all the ordinary days in between. It's an honor to be invited into that story.
We are all wishing you a Thanksgiving that offers a moment of calm to give thanks for your small wins (ideally, over a generous helping of pumpkin pie).
Happy Thanksgiving!
