Never go on a swamp walk without packing a large bottle of water. Due to the extra effort of stepping through a swamp, you'll become very thirsty on your walk. Bring an extra large water bottle, preferably a gallon or more, and take sips every few minutes. If you become dehydrated, it's easy to become disoriented in the swamp. This can be very dangerous. Make sure all members of your hiking party know to pack water as well. Apply a generous layer of sunscreen to any parts of your body not covered by hiking gear. Reapply sunscreen if you get wet and every few hours. Check the package's directions to see how long the sunscreen lasts. Never go hiking without a buddy. Even after taking a few guided tours through the swamp, it's always dangerous to hike through a swamp alone. In the event of an emergency, you'll need someone to call for help. Swampy areas may have animals like alligators and poisonous snakes. For the most part, animals are unlikely to attack unprovoked. If you see a potentially dangerous animal, do not approach it or take picture. If you simply keep walking, the animal will probably leave you alone. In the event you are bitten or otherwise harmed by an animal, have someone contact emergency services immediately.

One-sentence summary -- Make sure you have plenty of water. Wear sunscreen. Do not hike alone. Leave wild animals alone.

If you have property tax exemptions, such as a homestead exemption, adding your spouse to your deed could mean you no longer qualify. This could substantially increase your property tax bill. If you're accustomed to claiming a property tax exemption and you're concerned you might lose it if you add your spouse to your deed, consult a tax professional. When you add your spouse to your deed, you are giving her a gift. The IRS only allows taxpayers to gift up to $14,000 per person per year. Assuming your property is worth much more than that, adding your spouse to your deed could trigger state and federal gift tax reporting obligations. NOTE: Gifts to spouses are exempt from state and federal gift taxes if the spouse recipient is a US citizen. Capital gains are taxes you pay on the profit you make from selling property. For example, if you buy a house for $100,000, that amount becomes your "basis" in the property. If you sell the house five years later for $200,000, you would have a capital gain of $100,000. If you add your spouse to your deed, he will have to use your basis if he later sells the property. That means he could pay substantially more in capital gains taxes than if he acquired the property when you died. To continue the previous example, suppose you added your spouse to the deed for the house you bought for $100,000. You die 50 years later, and your spouse decides to sell the house five years after that for $1 million. His capital gain would be $900,000. However, if you transferred the property to your spouse at your death, for example through a transfer-on-death deed, his capital gains basis would be the fair market value of the house when he acquired it. This could result in far lower capital gains taxes. Returning to the $100,000, suppose you create a TOD deed for your spouse. When you die 50 years later, your spouse acquires a house with a fair market value of $900,000. When he sells it five years later for $1 million, he only owes capital gains taxes on $100,000. Before you add your spouse to your deed, it's important that both of you understand how it potentially affects your tax liability so you can make an informed decision and not be caught unaware later on.

One-sentence summary -- Understand you may lose tax exemptions. Pay gift tax. Discuss capital gains with your spouse.

When you're the boss, you have to separate yourself from your employees. While you can still grab lunch or join them for the occasional happy hour, you need to behave professionally the entire time. If employees see you as a peer, you will lose your authority. Don't overshare personal details, such as what you did over the weekend or the issues you're having with a relative. Your employees need to see you as a boss, not a friend. Keep your conversations centered on the workplace or your professional experiences. For example, discuss your work goals instead of your personal goals. Spreading gossip will destroy your credibility as a boss immediately. Not only that, but rumors that come out of your mouth instantly sound like truths. Additionally, employees who are the subject of rumors will lose trust in you.

One-sentence summary --
Avoid socializing with your employees as you would with coworkers. Maintain strong boundaries around your personal life. Avoid engaging in office gossip.
