Fix Your Own Windshield
Whack was the sound I suddenly heard as a rock hit my windshield. I quickly looked to see if there was a crack in the window but I could not see one. Phew.

But as luck would have it as soon as we got home my daughter pointed it a said "There is a crack in the windshield." Sure enough there was a a half inch star shaped crack on the right side of my windshield.

My insurance company willl cover the repairs and I have a low deductible. In fact, my insurance company like others will cover the deductible as well if I just have it repaired versus replaced. I have gone through this before and for the most part have had decent experience with the glass repair route. They will even come to you at work and repair it. The last repair job was not perfect, but I really didn't mind.

In the back of mind, I wondered if even these small repairs added somehow to my risk profile and therefore added to my premiums. I am not sure if they do or not.

In any case, this time I decided to forget about even calling the insurance company. I didn't feel like calling the insurance company and I also wanted to try to see if I could repair the crack myself. It did not look like rocket science.

So I went and bought this repair kit.Fix-A-Windshield, Do-It-Yourself Windshield Repair Kit It is available at Amazon for like $11. I read the instructions and attempted to repair my window. It took a little longer than advertised (maybe 30 minutes), but I did a pretty good job. It is not perfect but I am satisifed. It is greatly improved. Compared to the so called pros I was really close!

So the way I look at it, I spent $11, learned something, maybe even saved on my premium(?) and prevented the crack from growing even bigger.

One more thing I know how to do which in the future may save me time and money if another rock comes flying my way. Fix-A-Windshield, Do-It-Yourself Windshield Repair Kit

Turbo Tax Business For Free

I was searching on Google today for Turbo Tax Business because as I sat here I realized I need to get my business taxes done.  I use Turbo Tax Business every year.  Anyways, I ususally pay about $90 for it.  This year I found it at Amazon for $84.99, but guess how much I got it for.... I got it for free.

What?  Free!  How did I do it?  All I did was go to Google and typed in tax software for business .  Up came the results along with an ad for Turbo Tax Business that said "Fast, easy & accurate business tax prep from TurboTax. Now Free!."  I clicked on it and it was offered for free.  The site said

"Once you try TurboTax Business, we think you’ll be a customer for life. So
we’re giving you our business software absolutely FREE—a $99.95 value."

Well this is the real deal.  I downloaded it and installed without a hitch.  BUT then I started it up and tried to transfer my last years data....guess what happened.

It worked.  By pure luck I saved about $85.  No kidding.  Thanks Turbo Tax.

I had to share this with you.  I just did this 15 minutes ago.

Savings $85
