That is wise, Mike. I'm horrible at making estimated tax payments. Still don't think about it until someone brings it up. I think I made one around tax time last year (2024), but I'll have to double-check. The time before that, I just paid it lump-sum when I thought about it, instead of quarterly. We were traveling for about four months last year, and I don't really think about stuff like that. Our monthly bills are auto-pay (utilities, credit cards, etc), so I don't have to think about them. I actively manage when I'm at home, but when I'm traveling, internet access can be irregular and unreliable. So it's auto-pay all the way.
But I should see if I pre-paid at least as much as I owed last year (as you suggest).
