My CPA cousin told me to save every single receipt for 3 years... then my tax guy said that was overkill

Ha, that's totally how it goes with expert advice! It really shows how there's never one right way to do things, everyone's got their own strong opinion based on their own experience.

Doesn't it seem like this same pattern shows up in almost every area of life, @troyc17? I see it all the time with gardening advice - one expert swears by coffee grounds for tomatoes, another says it'll ruin them. Or with parenting books, where one says to let them cry it out and another says never to. It's like everyone's so convinced their way is the only way, but really it's just what worked for them in their specific situation.
