I hate paperwork. My husband and I own a small business and I run it. I love doing the creative part of the job, but I hate the detailed reports and paperwork, so I've created simple systems to help ease the pain.

With regard to gambling, I don't carry a purse, unless I am in a casino and we only go to Las Vegas once a year and NA casinos twice, so I only have to worry about three trips. Any W2s go in it. At the end of the year, for the past several years, I have the exact number of W2s for income and print off win/loss statements for any offset.

Kind of a lazy way to do it, but it works for us.
