Tax Returns!

[xveganxcowboyx]

Pretty much what I figured, which is why it doesn't bother me.

Tax returns are just my lazy savings account and ends up being "fun" money. I'll spend it on luxury items whether I get it on time or not. I'm happy either way.

Wouldn't you like to earn interest on what you've earned though?

Not this argument again. We had it last year. I claim 0 for a high tax return also. Why? Because I guarantee I would not put that extra $5 into savings. It would end up going to Mr Ronald McDonald more then likely. Come this time, I would have maybe saved $15 of it. That's the simple truth. Instead, they take a little extra out, I never see it, I live without it, then come the end of the year, it's a nice little bonus.

Different strokes for different folks.

I agree with S2kracka 100%. If you watch your money and budget yourself the little bit extra won't be spent each week and you'll earn some interest. Even if its small its better than letting Uncle Sam make sure you don't earn any return on it.

^^^What he said.

So just because you got an extra $5 on your paycheck you'd hit McD's one extra time? Unless someone is living paycheck-to-paycheck and has a serious spending problem then there is no reason to want a large return IMO. To each their own though, not my money.

Probably just toss whatever I get back into my savings (probably won't be much since I try and work things out so I am giving the government a free loan). I plan on selling my motorcycle come spring so I may take some of that money to buy new gears for the S2k (4.56 gears for the rear-end).

What is the stock gearing in an S2k?

I will probably just use my tax returns for bills.

I also dont eff with my taxes too much. As long as I make enough money to do the things I want to do, I'm happy. 10-15% goes to retirement, but other than that im pretty lazy with my money.
