Act now or miss out on these end-of-year tax and money moves!

Where in the heck did 2009 go! This month especially has evaporated; I have proof in all the tasks I planned to have completed by now that are left undone. 

If December had progressed on a normal instead of accelerated pace, I swear my projects plate would be clean by now!

But I, and you too, still have almost two full days. And that means there is some, albeit precious little, time to make some tax and money moves in 2009.

If you're in the same boat I am — and I suspect we have enough company to charter the Oasis of the Seas! — here's a roundup of year-end fiscal actions to help you determine which moves you should make by Thursday. If, in my rush to get this posted, I missed your good advice, please leave it and/or a link as a comment.
