This is why you're a top 3 poster. Genius!

That's a good deal. I paid $8k per year starting in 1999 and it went up yearly ending around $9k her last few years. I thought that was a good deal. It paid off later with $32k in scholarships for college, good values and good college grades. She could have received more but she was too busy to apply.

Some schools allow you to pay half price if you have a second child enrolled. Mine did that. And some have jobs at the school where a child can go free but the paycheck isn't large.


I think this post explains your avy though. Three including twins.

Officially I'm in the top two.

I'm getting back between $8500 and $9000..so some goes to bills..some goes towards a new gun..some towards the house..most gets saved back and spent throughout the year on random things

I'll likely get back around 2k. It's not enough to do two chicks at once so I'll probably just invest it.

Getting $1,400 so we will put it all on various credit card payments. My wife starts nurse anesthetist school in May and cannot work for the next three years. It is going to suck.

I could find you 3 chicks and still keep a finders fee.

All of mine goes to the kids. As it should be. Then I don't have to buy them shit the rest of the year.

I use the money to "refill" for the year. Buy out my auto insurance plans for the year so i don't have to make payments until this time next year, pay any bills i fell behind on so i have a clean slate for the new year etc.

I don't get any, I pay the gubment. I'm sure they are happy.

That's a good feeling.

nothing here. last year got back about $900, this year owed $2300. Go figure.

1099?

nope. Did get a decent bonus check this year, which I though should have increased our return, not reduced it. Weren't in the edge of a bracket either.

I suppose one of these days I shoudl run them again in something other than Turbotax and make sure they didn't goof something up.

*edit* just checked again, and it looks like it's possible we may have crossed into the next tax bracket after all. That might have been the culprit.

Pay off a little debt, pay travel expenses for my wife to accompany me to Hawaii (work is sending me), and maybe buy another lens for my camera.

It's going towards our trip to Italy.
