Life Plans for you Tax Refund?

El Jefe · 01-20-2010, 03:14 PM

Yes I know I am dumb for letting the goverment use my money, blah blah blah. Moving on, those who are getting tax returns, what plans do you have for yours? I am gonna sit on mine (put it in the bank), money has been really tight and it would be nice to have an extra cushion in the bank. Plus Im sure I will end up having a catastrophe that will deplete it anyways. Anyone having any big plans for theirs?

**Bugeater** · 01-20-2010, 03:15 PM

First I need to find out if I'm actually getting one.

I'm gonna get a penis reduction surgery with my return. My lower back is fucked and I'm only 23.

MVChiefFan · 01-20-2010, 03:16 PM

I won't get one. Haven't had one in four years...it sucks!

DMAC · 01-20-2010, 03:18 PM

I always get a refund. I always shove it in the bank.

Yeah, it's dumb to let Uncle Sam hold your money. But that $20 a week that's missing from my paycheck goes unnoticed by me. If I had it, I'd just blow it. Since I don't have it, when I get that $1000 check every February it's like a windfall.

Refund

its been a while .

Put it towards my credit card.

My girlfriend works at a tax preparation place and she had a guy get > $10,000 back which is more than he had paid in due to qualifying for EIC.

He spent $600 extra to get the rapid refund (next day) then went to a check casher and spent 3% to get the check cashed.(didn't even have a ****ing checking account!)

Basically blew $1000 getting his taxes back and cashing the check because he couldn't wait a week.

Awesome use of my tax money. EIC pisses me off.

**alnorth** · 01-20-2010, 03:37 PM

This will be the first significant refund I'll get in the last 6 years. I normally adjust my withholding in the Fall to eliminate my refund with a higher paycheck during the winter. This time though I'm going to qualify for the $8,000 home buyer handout, and there's no way to get that early by withholding or without paying way too much money to amend a 2008 return.

I think I'll pay off my car loan and throw the rest into stuff I still need for the house.

Sounds like my brother, although no where near that amount, but he acts like an extra week is going to kill him. I want every penny back I can get, it's my money in the first place.
