This is a one-man show. When TK is not there no one can cover it. I was out of town with my youngest daughter. We went to her dream CONCERT, and glad we went. When this happens ( I am not live) there are several things you can do:

  1. Listen to the archives of last week OR before. You would be surprised that you may not have heard the whole story. When I listen to after the show, let alone you, it even surprises me how much information I give to you and how I said them. I do not read a scripted show, it is all oral and spontaneous response or talk.

  2. Pick a topic of your interest from the archives and listen. My show is not news but facts mostly. What I said about taxes, banks, unemployment a year, two years or more years ago are facts with little or no change in numbers.

  3. If you speak Amharic this is your must listen show. What they say here (in the US) is DEATH AND TAXES are sure to happen. You may not want them but you cannot avoid them. Understanding the intricacies (details of the law) will surely enlighten you

  4. I was on kind of Vacation, with my daughter but calls were coming . I know you sometimes desperately need answers but it is very hard for to address individual issues. I should not be in that condition because I am a private citizen with no obligation to answer calls that will only help ONE INDIVIDUAL. It is not good to ask question (s) without listening to the show. So please unless it is related to my business OUT OF STATE calls are not appreciated. PLEASE LISTEN TO THE SHOW 24/7 at
    tktaxes.com

Please give this web page to everyone that you know. Let's popularize it because it helps our people. We need to educate ourselves with the taxes and financial issues of this great country. Education never stops. Let's be part of the American dream- grow

I am giving a a very valuable service with no fee. I asked for a "gofundme" contribution but out of the thousands of my listeners in the tktaxes.com (The tkshow) and hiberradio.com less than 70 people helped. My service will not be interrupted because of lack of contribution but it raises the issue of how is it going to be sustainable if this continues. I LEAVE THE ANSWER TO YOU ALL

When mortgage rate are rising and falling some will tell you 'it is time to buy' or 'not time to buy".  However buying a house is not that simple.  It is not as easy as finding the house you want and a deal with a seller.

We all need to secure a mortgage, and although it seems relatively easy it will be a challenge to many of us, if we are unprepared for the loan.  So what do we need to do?
