Downsizing Our House Has Allowed Us To Pursue Our Dream Life

Hello! Here’s an awesome post from my friend Emma. As you know, we recently downsized and we now live in our RV. Life is awesome!

In August of 2015, we returned from 15 months of travel through Mexico and Europe with our young son.

We saved hard throughout my pregnancy and were able to fund 15 months of travel with our savings.

However, eventually our savings ran out and we had to go home. Although the savings account was decimated, my attitude to life was completely altered.

I was hooked and wanted to make travel a core part of my everyday lifestyle. I came up with a slightly crazy goal of chasing the summer around the world, traveling for months at a time – between hemispheres, across oceans. Cruise ships. Train travel. Driving an RV across the US.

Blogging and Taxes – What You Need to Know

Last Updated: March 19, 2022 BY Michelle Schroeder-Gardner - 18 Comments

Blogging and Taxes – What You Need to KnowHello! Today, I have a post from a blog friend of mine. Jackie is a licensed attorney from Pennsylvania. She has been blogging at Jade and Oak for over 3 years, with a focus on helping bloggers build their blogs while keeping it legal. I often receive questions about the law, blogging and taxes so this is a perfect fit. Enjoy!

I know taxes aren’t the most fun topic.

They can be confusing and boring and just super overwhelming for lots of people. But what if I told you that what you don’t know about taxes might be costing you money?

Let’s dive into what you need to know about taxes as a blogger/freelancer. I promise to keep it light on boring stuff. Also, since tax codes are obviously different all over the world, this information is written with United States tax laws in mind. However, this information can be useful to international readers, regarding how to track your blog earnings.

(P.S. Before we start, I need to add a quick disclaimer. Although I am a licensed attorney, I’m not your attorney. This article doesn’t create an attorney-client relationship and I’m not liable for any losses or damages caused by reliance on the information contained within this article. If you are seeking specific legal or tax advice, consult a professional who specializes in this subject matter in your jurisdiction.) [Read more…]
