Just being nosy.
Re: Tax refunds
We just filed yesterday.
We're gunna pay our property taxes and pay off a 0% card that goes to 21.99% in April. Then, if we ever get our state, that'll go towards a new fence.
What are you gunna do?
We're getting a refund for CA but I don't count on seeing it anytime soon. I'll probably use it to get a well-needed haircut.

After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!
Yes!
I'm pissed that we have a CA refund since they are delaying them. Apparently there is a 45-day period after date of submission that CA has, and anything after that supposedly they owe you interest. I'm so perplexed about the CA situation. I'm going to change our withholdings so that we're slated to PAY CA next year. It's BS that they owe me and I have to wait. Bastards.
So far we've paid our car off, purchased plane tickets for a few trips, and paid off our CC debt.
As it turns out, we've been paying WAY TOO MUCH throughout the year. We were so worried about owing for the 6th year in a row but I think we got a little crazy when we had them take extra $$$ out of our paychecks.
I have too many plans for our refund. Last year we got back a bunch but we had bought a house in 07' so that explained the return. I am guessing if we get half of that back this year I can still get some things I've been wanting. In order of importance, we are getting a Cal King Bed (Our bed is hidiously small), new washer & dryer, ), Epoxy Garage flooring, and a Flat Screen for our bedroom.
We threw our refund last year in savings and it was no fun. I want to spend this year for sure.
We got quite a bit back this year from both the state and federal. I think it helped a lot that we bought a house last year.
We haven't received it yet, but we will use it to remodel the backyard, get a flat screen for the LR and possibly MBR. The rest will go into our savings and e-fund.
