Don’t know if there was already a thread for this, didnt feel like searching lol. So what are you guys planning on getting/doing with your tax returns? I’m only getting like $800 becuase I owed the state nearly $400. But I am gonna pay some bills and probably buy a new rifle.

I was gonna use some for my car but eh…fuck it. I’m not putting any more oney into it for a while. I’ve been wanting to get a rifle for years. I’ve been being really good with my money lately as far as not blowing it on shit and whatnot, so I’m gonna treat myself. I don’t even care if it’s used. I just want like a .30-06,.308, 30.30., or maybe even just a 22-250, or a .243. I am thinking maybe a marlin lever action 30-30. I fell in love with the one my friend has. Although I’d REALLY like to get a Thompson Contender. Both my sister and brother in law have one. They are VERY expensive but well worth the money.

I figure I want to give myself at least $300 of the tax return to spend on a new toy. Everything else is going for bills.

Moving 3 times this year helped bump my return, ended up getting 1800 back.

Probably just going to save it or invest it since I have no bills.

:picard:

Really? With all the money and job problems you seem to have and post about you going to go out and blow half your return on a new toy? Why not put it all toward bills, or if you don’t have $800 in bills put it in a savings account so the next time some hardship hits you have a little cushion to fall back on?

My return? Going straight in the bank. Like most smart people I’m dumping money toward debt and savings because this economic crash has been a wakeup call about living within your means.

I totally know what you mean. I am putting the vast majority of it towards bills (biggest thing I’m paying off right now are student loans). I’d like to have some money for a gun if I can. It’s really all up in the air still. If I get this new job before hand I can afford it. if not, well…then I’m not sure. Like I said, i dont care if its used. You can pic up a decent used rifle for around $150-200 if you know where to look and know the right people. I would LOVE to get a Thompson Contender. They are fucking AMAZING! but the base gun alone is over $800. After getting a few different barrels and a decent scope it would be around $1500-2000. A bit out of my price range lol.

So you’re living on $183 unemployment and a new/used rifle seems like a good thing to be spending money on?
