I would advise my friend to ask the tax preparer if he/she carries professional liability insurance.

Brandi Cory IDS 101 Masculinity and Femininity Final Essay Question #1 I chose the article by Ann Crittenden titled, “Sixty Cents to a Man’s Dollar,” because I can relate to this article on a personal level. As a woman that grew up in a two parent household and now as a single mother, I witnessed the injustice to women in the workplace. As a small child I watched as my mother and father worked at the same place, doing the same job, yet my mother made less money than my father did. At that time no one really talked about it, it was just “normal” and not many people thought twice about it.

One of the cuts I had to make was I had to make a cut in my rent. I cut my rent in half simply by getting a roommate. Because of the roommate my rent went from 437.50 to just a little less than 220 dollars. As far as the quality of my life with a roommate for the short term it would not hurt at all since I have lived with a roommate my entire life and know how to make it work. However I know in the long run it will not work because eventually I would like a wife and kids and having a roommate would be impossible to live with and would cause all kinds of trouble for me and my future family.
