Bob, I appreciate the thoughtful reply and pretty much agree with what you said. Those approaches for the casual seller like me make sense.
I decided to limit the quote from your prior text to the advice that probably will factor most in my future decision-making: You've talked me out of it---I have decided to not pursue becoming a CPA when I retire! I've already spent enough time in school pursuing advanced degrees and then more time as a post-doctoral fellow. Enough school and training for me! When I retire I will really retire, hopefully having won a Powerball jackpot before I do. That way, I can open up an animal shelter for aged animals while also having funds left over to complete a few cards sets I've been working on!
