It’s crunch time. We’ve got a few days to take care of things before 2019 turns into a pumpkin.
Refill Prescriptions & Exhaust Health Savings Accounts
If you have already met your deductible for prescriptions, you might wanna reload your meds. If you have a Health Savings Account that needs to be used or losed by year’s end – use it or lose it! Remember, rhyming is more important than proper grammar.
Donations
If you want to write off your donation in 2019, get on it! For a refresher on different ideas, check out my posts Sweet Charity (Giving Tuesday) and How To Donate Stock at Current Value and Pay No Tax on Capital Gain.

Uber – Free Ride
There’s no such thing as a free lunch, but there is a such a thing as a free ride – via Uber. With all the Christmas and New Year’s parties, there may be times when you should leave your car and grab a cab.
Grabacab is also the name of my favorite Genesis song.
If you sign up for Uber by clicking on my link which contains the promo code “uberChipCheese”, you’ll get $2 off your next three Uber rides (and I will too, I think). Anywho…
Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
