Lisa, this is so scary! But I like your way of thinking that since an evacuation center is right across the street from you that they think your area won't be affected. Very good point! But still so scary to have it that close to you. Please keep us updated.
I just heard on our news here in DC this morning that they are evacuting the evacuation centers now. They said the ones that they are evacuting are hotels and not schools.
Everyone in CA take care.....this is very very very scary to me (and i am sure to you!!)
Does he have a Medical Flexible Spending Account available where he works? It is too late for 2007 but if he has an FSA and it is calendar year he can get a pre-tax withheld from his paycheck beginning with the first pay in 2008. The beauty of the FSA is that you can file claims against it up to the contracted amount BEFORE all of the money has been with held form your pay.
In addition, since the money is pre-tax the buying power is greater - in a 30% tax bracket the $1000 deferred has the buying power of $700 after taxes. It is more bang for your buck.
Holly, this is a great idea. I have used mine to pay for all of my kids braces each year. Even though you work part time, maybe your employer could make it available to you. (if they offer it). It sounds like they really care for you and the work you do for them. The amount you can put in just went up to $3,600 I think.
