Letters from Sanford Street # 486

I went to the grocery store. I actually tried to go earlier in the day, but the road was too icy. I originally tried to go to Jack in the Box, but it was closed, so I went back home.

I think that I originally tried to go to the grocery store, but determined it was too far considering the road conditions, so I tried to go to Jack in the Box, but it was closed.

I bought a few lottery tickets the day before. I'm feeling kind of stuck where I am. I want to try some of the paid college programs that my work is offering, but it really does take some looking into. One of the fine print notes is that the benefit could effect my taxable income, but this really isn't a big deal, because if it counts as taxable income, then it should count as money that I'm spending on education, and I should get a tax credit for this spending.

I guess I will look into it, if I remember correctly, I should get a tax credit of about 50 percent on education spending, which is more than the 12 percent I would pay on that money since it counts as income.

Actually, the tax credit is 20 percent. So it still makes sense to take it.
