    I will never have problems deciding where to spend money as long as ThinkGeek is around. I think I've spend more money there than I have at Archie McPhee.

    Refund...

    What refund...


    I just wrote three checks... One to the Fed, one to Cali, and another one to Oregon...


    You mean where are you going to spend the money I sent in don't ya Bra...


    You know the money you get in your "refund" will be taxed as income next year too right... it's better to get to the margin and put the money you'd expect to get returned to you in an investment to get a better return... and not allow your money to be used without any benefit to you by the folks that still don't understand that they can't spend money they don't have...

    We make quarterly payments. This year, we had a refund just shy of one payment. So we just rolled it over.
    However, when we save money or unexpectedly receive money, we put it aside and/or invest it with the intentions of spending it plus interest when we retire (early).

    Ditto here except I only wrote one check. It was a very big one. :(

    But, there's no state income tax in WA. :)

    Cruise. Any that comes back from anywhere (and our IRS refund is always really small - we plan it that way) goes into our cruise fund. :p
