Pay-off our new SUV and if anything is left, a nice 32" LCD/Plasma monitor. XMas money for an Xbox 360 v2 or PS3 (not sure which yet).

What if she takes the money and runs off with a white guy?

That's my greatest fear. She keeps telling me how cute mixed Asian and White baby looks.

Shrug :brokenheart:

Gonna pay off the fridge and dishwasher we put on the credit card when we bought our house 4 months ago. That should square us out, and we are thinking of putting the remainder of the return into a new bedroom suite. I'd like to have a new TV, but the wife has me backed into a corner :p.

Why would you get a refund?

Why would you give the government an interest free loan?

Not sure. Last year we pretty much broke even (refund from fed and paid the state). This year though, we'll have a good chunk of student loan interest to deduct.

What's a tax refund? Oh, you mean when the state/feds send you back your money that they didn't use?

Heh-heh...I havn't had to file since the 03 tax year. One benefit of having legal un-taxable income...the down side, is that I don't get to take mortgage deductions and such...

I'm buying an M1 Carbine and some textile overpants. If I've got money left over, a new rear tire for my motorcycle and perhaps a case of 30 caliber ammunition.

I'm not going to be getting alot, but I plan on using the refund with some other money lying around to open up some Vanguard funds.

Here we go...the interest free loan crap.

Yeah, because if you only get like under $1000 back, getting that spread out over the year is sooooooooooooooooooooo much better.

Spend it on hoes ;)
Actually, I am not getting any refunds since I will have to pay probably $3K more for capital gains.
