War doesn't always disrupt your taxes or accountants
The war zones may be far away from the United States but many accountants are in the center of action. Valerie Bushell, corporate controller for BlueWind Medical, and Susan Speirs the CEO of Utah Association of CPAs say accountants may be deployed as part of the Armed Forces or work for companies who are based in war-torn countries.
They also discuss how they help refugees who come to the U.S. for political asylum or to escape the ravages of war.

BEST OF: If you love your loo, only flush pee and poo
Flushable wipes aren't actually flushable. And neither are make-up removers and baby wipes. Leland Myers, Executive Director of the Wasatch Front Water Quality Council and Jill Jones, District Manager for Central Davis Sewer District explains how expensive these 'conveniences' can be for homeowners.
Our sewer pipes were designed for our sanitary needs. Not for items which don't break down over time, like so-called flushable wipes. And it's costing many cities over $3,000,000.00 a year of taxpayer money to fix. Learn how dispose of them properly.

Is subscription creep emptying your bank account?
Whether you have streaming services with auto-renewal, or multiple small add-ons to programs, you could be paying a lot more than you realize. Nick Wolny, Managing Editor with CNET, says Spring is a great time to review every subscription you have and get rid of ones you don't use very much or didn't realize the prices increased.
Nick also says it is so much easier to buy things. It only takes a swipe of a phone or a tap of a credit card and it doesn't hurt as much as when you write a check or pay with cash. Not paying close attention to all your swipes and taps can cost you a fortune in a very short time frame.

Your taxes could prevent human extinction
All species on earth work to support man through clothing, food and medicines. When they start going extinct we risk our own survival. That's from Lowell Baier, author of "Earth's Emergency Room: Saving Species as the Planet and Politics Get Hotter."
Baier says the loss of habitat through climate change and expansion of commerce due to population growth is the number one reason we are losing animal and plant life. And why the Endangered Species Act is critical to fund.
