Death and taxes

For all American citizens it’s that time of the year again filled with fear and excitement. Will I owe taxes? Will I get a refund? Do I even need to file? These are all good questions. Happily, Uncle Sam has answers to these and other questions.

A Secret for Air Travelers Arriving in Panama

While cabs in Panama are fairly cheap, the ride to and from the airport is a massive exception.  Although the Tocumen Airport is only a mere 20-30 minutes from anywhere in the city, the price does not reflect this distance.  To the dismay of the citizens, somehow all the cab drivers in Panama City came together and decided to make the standard cab to or from the airport a whopping $25.  Even the most legendary haggler on the planet will have a tough time getting this price reduced, so unless you enjoy forking unreasonable bundles of cash to cab drivers this can be a huge hassle.  Some people spend copious amounts of time trying to save money on their flights Read more
