Sometimes I feel bad spending money on things that I need to buy anyway, so knowing that they often double as a write-off helps me remember that I am making an investment in my business as an artist. On all the rest… I am still working on it. I have been historically not so great with money, but hope one day to be in real control.

I have “missed” some good deals, but saved some serious money over the years – even if I could “write it off”.

On the other hand, remembering which of one’s business purchases really are tax deductions (or part of Cost of Goods Sold) is very important.
Thanks for the morning uplift. 😉
