[reflux]

Thanks to Uncle Sam this year, I'm getting a small return for all of my hard work during the summer and school year. It's nothing big, but I'm hooking myself up with some lights and maybe a new handlebar. Then again, I can't remember the last time I bought cables and housing...

Here are the questions:

1)Are you getting a tax return? No need to include the $$$ and make the rest of feel bad

2)Are you doing the right thing and putting it in a Roth IRA so that when you retire, you will have a nice fat check along with your quarterly dividends from your well-diversified portfolio?

I mean, what kind of bike stuff are you getting?

I'll most likely pick up some lights, but I might put it toward a new computer or HDTV.

Yeah, we're getting one. It's going into our savings account, which will eventually be used to purchase a house (hopefully in a few months).

I am spending mine on bike parts of course My bikes are very needy.

I am getting a refund, and I will be using it as a Down Payment on a family transportation module.

I'm getting a mountain bike trip to France and Germany. I know, I know, I've been bragging about this a lot.

I'm getting a refund , I just wish it would get here already as I have spent it all plus some :angry: .

 

[FlipSide]

I sincerely hope I get one...'cause I have a friggin new bike to pay and I didn't get the scholarship I was expecting. So money's already spent.

Aaaaaah! What the ?%$#$... I'll buy a Giro MadMax Full face and some Lizard Skin Shin-Knee guard.

I should be getting one, although things are unclear since they will be postmarked today (slipped the envelope in the mailbox after the last pickup )... what to get, food maybe? Doing unpaid research while living in fancy school digs in the summer will not be profitable, to say the least, so I must save.

 

[VTinCT]

Yup, getting one...as to its demise...the old steed needs a new drive train, and I really, really want a scanner!! Hmmm, and a GPS unit, and some two-ways....somebody STOP ME!!!!

Getting a little back....er, I hope so. I didn't file last year,...but I think I was getting money back for that year too so I don't think it'll be a problem.

I'm putting it toward a new G4 Titanium.

Mmmm, good choice. Is that really how it works with taxes, tho? (should I not be worried about sending mine in a day late because the government owes me?)

You don't have to file unless you owe money.

I've finally got my taxes worked out. I didn't get any back but I only have to pay $7.94. I payed mine throughout the year.

$1, think ill buy a soda

I am buying motorcycle parts. New exhaust and other cool stuff.
I love bieng single and not making very much money. I get bigger returns.

 

[jhusktrials]

I got a very nice tax return. I already got it about a month ago and spent it all on my DH bike.

I think I'm going to use my $$$ on a trip to Iceland. I've always wanted to go. I would love a 36" TV, or a notebook computer, but I figure that any experiance I have over there will stick with me longer than those.
I'll just keep my 27" and desktop for now...
AC bike in Iceland, hopefully in August.

With my money I either outfit my car with an Infinty Speaker system, or build up an XC hardtail.... It will probably wind up being the bike
argghh

The IRS sent back our return because we forgot to sign it. D'oh!!!
