givemebigmoney Great approach. I agree that the best way to start cutting expenses is to get a handle on where every penny is spent. Cut the things out that mean the least to you and use it to pay off some of the things that drain your bank account. It is the first step to...

At your job, what do you get out of a performance review? Are they helpful or just a waste of time? Does your score or rating determine your annual increase or bonus amount?

givemebigmoney For Nonemployee compensation of $600 or more, the employer will file COPY A of a 1099 - MISC along with FORM 1096 to the IRS. The recipient receives COPY B. Nonemployee compensation will appear in BOX 7 of the 1099 - MISC
