    I always like this time of year cuz I get a decent amount back in state and federal tax returns and it's a nice little bonus besides the usual bi-weekly pay checks. I already got my federal tax refund and should be getting the state one pretty soon. I like to claim 0 on my w4s so I get a bigger refund, it's like I'm being forced to save a bit throughout the year which is kinda nice lol, makes it worth it when I get my refund.

    I used some of the money to help pay for a trip I'm taking in June, but so far I haven't done much else with it.

    So what about the rest of you, do you tend to spend it all pretty quick on random stuff, or save it or what?

    yeah, tax refund time is always nice. everyone can use a little extra cash.

    i already got my state return back. but the IRS is delaying federal returns IF you claimed earned income credit or additional child tax credit. the first one applies to me, so i won't get federal return back until a couple more weeks. :emoji_slight_frown:

    the one thing i know for sure that i'm gonna buy----is a ticket to the roger waters concert in greensboro, north carolina. as far as the rest---i don't know--but part of it will probably go to whores and liquor :kobe:

    I'm a big boy so I don't usually get money back. Usually have to pay a shitload in. Hate this time of year.

    However I should get a nice break this year for buying a house. Not really sure how that works yet

    I never got people getting their tax return and making a big purchase like they won money. It's your money you were supposed to have that the govt took too much of. I put that s--- in the bank and go back to stacking likes on online forums

    Stupid argument, pretty sure even rich people can get excited about more money.
