Picking Potatoes...Maine Kids Learn Work Ethic Early On!
Growing up, the winter coat was something youth selected and paid for. During potato havest, a three week period that is a school recess, pickers with extra picking gloves, lunch boxes and water jug trek to the many Aroostook County fertile fields. Everyone did it growing up. Heck there are adults who take vacations at this time to help area farmers get the golden spuds to market or to storage for the winter. The experience is a big part of everyone's life in Maine. Same as raking blueberries along the Maine coastal areas, or lobstering and clamming with family members. Hard work, good honest work. And the other employees you spend the day with become closer and the area farmer needs you. You are contributing big time for your 25, 60 or whatever cents per barrel payment. The money made is saved. The potato checks are held onto tightly. Used for christmas presents in carefully selected purchases, winter clothes selection, essentials or for a rainy day.
No money wasted, not alot of money to waste in rural maine. But what you do purchase after careful thought is taken care or, not neglected or abused or forgotten from lack of interest. The folks in Washington DC could take a lesson from this rural lifestyle. If money was more precious, and there was less tax payer dollars and sale taxes rolling in, priorities and belt tightening would become in fashion for survival. There would be no choice. That's real world. Currently if there is problem national, throw money at it, lots of money and waste money along the way.

Halloween....Its Okay To Act Like A Kid In Maine!
Remember the fun of going up to a large, dark house, climbing up on the porch, knocking on a door in a Halloween costume? And suddenly the lights come on, someone jumps out from behind some trees with a chain saw running..(no chain though..come on)! Taking inventory of all that candy with your friends..trading loot. Some home owners dragging you into the living room, asking you who's your dad or mom and having fresh hot donuts and cider for you? Going all out for Halloween really makes you feel like a kid again and sets the stage for other little kids to have fun just like you did. In the past, our real estate office has grown hundreds of pumpkins, and handed them out to pre school and nursey school children to carve into jack-o-lanterns. Here is the giant pumpkin man we have helping us greet motorists this time of year. Watch the movie of fall colors, and Maine potato harvest too!

When You Sell Your Maine Home, Do You Owe Capital Gains?
Everyone knows enough to be dangerous right? Worried about the old rules and not up to snuff or have anxiety about what happens in your Maine home sale, tax wise now? Stop worrying and remember that you may not owe any capital gains tax to the Treasury Department. Back in the 1990's, new legislation became law letting you escape and get out of a capital gain on a sale for up to $250,000. If you are married, the sale of your primary residence if filing jointly could mean you are off the hook for up to $500,000 of the profit on your home sale. So why are you unsure and still want to see it in the tax code or hear it from a CPA? Probably because for along long time, and because you don't sell your home every day, this is for a five year plan. Things gets fuzzy. But you remember the days when you had to buy or build and a clock was ticking for up to two years to do the roll over into your next home to avoid the captial gain tax owned? Recall when the figure triggered if over a $125,000 gain, and when you had a one shot, over 55 years of age provision? Like most things in life, its not a simple one or two sentence provision. There are circumstances and events that shift to a different tax consideration. So have a tax preparer you trust on speed dial. Ask them before making major purchases or sales how this is going to affect you next April 15 before April 15th!
