Idle thought

Got the software and took an early look at my 2009 income taxes. The good news is I actually had enough medical expenses last year to get a deduction. The bad news is I actually had enough medical expenses last year to get a deduction.

Also, as I pay off my mortgage the interest deduction decreases some each year. Isn’t it nice how the property taxes go up in almost perfect coordination to keep the net deduction the same?
