Tax Return Money = Mod Money

This is desired. If you are getting money back you gave the government and interest free loan. People seem very happy to give the government their money for nothing. I try to get almost nothing back but doesn't always work out.

 

I just received my property tax bill in the mail, more than expected. There goes all of my expected refund.

 

If anything. Savings accounts Bros.

 

This is what i do. I think i got $185 last year.

 

set of 5100s up front or eibachs cant decide yet after that rest is going towards paying off my loans

 

Same here. Once my "6-month reserve" is met, then I'll look into mods

 

Almost forgot to list the remote start.

 

Bingo. Sorry, I just don't understand why people give their money to the govt. all friggin year, interest free!

As long as I don't get a fine, I'll be happy to owe and not pay until April 15th!

 

That's the smart way - no reason to give the government a free loan for 12 months - I try to owe from $100-$500/year. That way I am maximizing my money and borrowing a few from the govt in the meantime

Getting a tax return means you gave the gov't too much money throughout the year interest free.

Probably a light bar and lights - couple Kragens maybe. We'll see.

 

This is nothing to get excited about. If you're getting enough back to buy a SC or a truck load of parts, then you're doing it wrong! You could've had that in YOUR pocket already, parts on your truck already, instead of Sammy's. You know a tax refund isn't a gift - it's your money because you were OVERCHARGED! Time to adjust some W4's, IMO.

I can't stand to get a refund.

Just sayin.

 

I get where you are coming from, but there are times that a large refund is unavoidable. And I prefer to get money back rather than owe it. Granted that means the Gov gets an interest free loan from me.

 

I just don't agree. I like getting a chunk back at the beginning of the year. My investments are down this year - most folks are in a similar spot. Even 12-month CDs are earning under a percent. The Gov't holds my cash for less time than that - so call it 0.5%. I'll pay that for 1. the convenience of not owing anything come April, and 2. the fact that I surely wouldn't save all that $$ if the Gov't wasn't taking it before I can spend it.

I'm getting $3K+ back and am loving it.

 

I go federal exempt all year and pay like 3 grand lol. Fawk my check is like 800 more per check. Ill take that all day.

 

I agree partially. Between house interest, student loan interest and then work write off's it's hard not to get something back

 

We are getting a nice return this year. I am not going to spend a dime on mods though.

What I am going to do is set my return money up to pay my monthly payment. I am getting enough back that I can pay all 12 monthly payments this year and have $300 left over at the end.

So it feels like I have a brand new Tacoma with no payments

 

damn and I was happy about $6900

 

Actually, owing money is more favorable than getting a refund. It means the government is not holding onto your money during the year. Giving you more flexible cash funds

 

I ordered a new bumper... I'm going to try and save the rest
