i hope you’re having more fun with yours than i am with mine. adios cash… all going towards… new home, wedding, and old credit cards. :down: sometimes, for only a split second, i wish i was living at home with no bills and could play with this money… but then i remember that i’m 25 and living at home sucks and uniontown sucks so i’d rather have the debt. :blue: ---

rookee, you really need to change your withholdings. Money in your pocket now and paying credit card bills off sooner is better than getting the money later and having already accrued a ton of high interest. ---

You can still figure out how much to have withheld to come out closer, unless you like the big return. It justs bugs me knowing the government has my money instead of me. ---

> [@Jeff95TA](#): > > rookee, you really need to change your withholdings. Money in your pocket now and paying credit card bills off sooner is better than getting the money later and having already accrued a ton of high interest. yeah i know, but i’m conservative in that regard. the credit cards are from some tough years in my past, no job, bad health, commuting from utown to pittsburgh everyday for basically $10-15 a year (i worked for some crooks). real miserable times… so it’s not like i have bills from being stupid, just unlucky and a bad job market for worthless business degrees. so i figured, if it’s not in my pocket i won’t spend it. and it’s surprisingly easy to just had that return debt back to the banks… but, even thru all that shit i never had any late payment of any kind. still rocking a 700+ credit score. 😃 now that the money is coming easier, it’s easy to budget because i basically lived around poverty for a while. ---

> [@Jeff95TA](#): > > You can still figure out how much to have withheld to come out closer, unless you like the big return. It justs bugs me knowing the government has my money instead of me. yea, I just recently changed it a bit. I do like getting a big check in the winter when I do not have the chance for OT at work though. I usually make a good bit of overtime in the summer so the tax return gets me through the winter. ---

mine is getting my machine shop work done, and some other some parts. what saved mny ass was the 1300 bucks i paid off in interest of college loans, which offset the 500 bucks i made in interest when i cashe din savings bonds. i watched my return go from 1k, to 300, back to 900 in that order… 1k originally, 300 after i claimed interest made on bonds i cashe din, and back up to 900 after i claimed college loans… state tax, i finally get money back. i claimed my hand tools and uniforms from work, which gets me back $1. lol. i cant file yet though, as i need to find my 2003 returns. i got from 98 to 02, but no 03… wtf… ---
