Lucky you. Lady I worked with last week ending is going there. Wish they were sending me.

I went last year, too. After this year, it'll be an every-other-year thing for me. Wife has determined that I'm not allowed to go without her. :)

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.

That sucks. My wife started a new job last year which put us into the next bracket up. I mean, it doesn't suck...but it sucks.

As for our return, my wife and I usually give ourselves a few hundred each to buy something we want and the rest will probably go to our kids' 529 accounts.

Similar here - going into the pot for a trip to the UK this summer.

yeah, guess I should have paid more attention and probably could have negotiated some alternate compensation to keep me below the threshold.

Wheels and tires for my 69 Mustang and paying off my wife's Macys card, whatever is left goes to savings.

George Liquor 02-10-2015 01:42 PM

Not getting much of one. I'll probably owe the state around $100

Use it to pay down past due taxes from 2009! :mad:

If the wife has a good enough job....we'll keep all three in there. If not....it'll be public school time.

Is that $4,500/yr or $45,000/yr? Why did you put a K on there? Is i it $4,500,000/year because that seems spendy.

Because, christ. I'd give my nut to be in only $4,500/yr. I'm shelling out just over $13,000/yr for pre school. My son's in 1st grade and private school is just a nut over $25,000/yr. That's before activities and shit. So, of course, little ****er is a hockey player. That cost me $1,400 for the fall season, another $1,800 for summer camps. Good news! Spring season is only $395. What could make this more expensive? Glad you asked. He's. A. Goalie. SMH. So that's an additional $800+ in goalie gear on top of his skate gear.

That's what I get for insisting we would never be a soccer family. I'm an idiot.

So you're floating the IRS an interest free loan of $8,500 or so? You're nicer than I.

I did get a pretty sweet tie for Father's day so that makes up for it.

It's northern VA. That's how shit is around here. You can't send them to public school though. Those people are animals. I know. I'm the product of public schooling.

High school goes up to anywhere from $35-$50K depending on whether or not he stays or goes to boarding school. Same for the girl.

So, to the OP. Yeah, like everyone else...hookers and blow.

Or a bulldog. I've wanted a bulldog for a while. I'd name him Meatlug and we'd have farting contests. My wife doesn't want a fat, slobbering, farting, animal around the house. Actually, she doesn't want another fat, slobbering, farting, animal around the house. But **** that noise. Meatlug would be awesome. I would take him to the office with me and he would chill on my big red chair.

Does Meatlug like peanut butter?
