HOT TIP: don’t be caught with your skirt down on tax day. Set aside money every week so when it’s time to pay your quarterly taxes, you can do it with ease. Here’s what I do: every year, my accountant figures out my estimated quarterly taxes. I take the amount and divide it by 52. This tells me how much I need to put aside every week. I take that money out of my earnings every single week and put it right into my savings account. Each time a payment is due, the money is waiting there for me. No stress. Easy as pie, yo.
