Hey Notz, my brother has an MBA in accounting and was supposedly doing my stepmother's taxes; she died and we find he hadn't done them in seven years; we had to pay out of the estate to have an accountant do them before we could settle the estate; meanwhile the stock market did a major dive and the estate halved itself.

I suspect your wife was "afraid" of something; my area is accounting and I make my husband do all the investing, bookkeeping, taxes, etc.

I hope something comes up "heads" for you and your situation.
