exile Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 We are going to buy a new HD set to go along with some new furniture, a new dvd player, an hd reciever(from DTV), and new speakers(and maybe a new IB or SVS sub). Perhaps I can convince her of the need for 7.1 and buy a new reciever/prepro/amp deal too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whooter Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Any refund this year has to go towards last year's debt... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlucci Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 If no surprise expenses come up (I'm talking to you, central-air unit!), then I'm going to use my refund to take the family on a kickass vacation this year. Don't know where yet, but Orlando is not out of the question. Also, going to try to take my wife on an "Anniversary gift" trip. May 6th will mark our 15th wedding Anniversary! Carlos.

exile Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Don't know where yet, but Orlando is not out of the question We just got back from there. We had a blast. Great place for adults and kids alike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel P Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 May 6th will mark our 15th wedding Anniversary! Wow, May 4th marks OUR 15th wedding anniversary.

rustyjaw Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 I haven't even gotten my W2 yet, which I think is illegal (aren't you supposed to have it by Jan 31st?). So I don't know how much I'm getting back. I'll probably blow it on music software... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMike Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 I'm in my first year in my house so I got my points, interest, and real estate taxes that I get to deduct so I'm getting a nice refund. Not sure what I'm gonna do with it. Probably just put it away for a car later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Sheets Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 If it's like most years, I'm probably going to have to pay :cry: If I do get lucky and get something back, I'll probably get something small, like maybe that Buffy season 5 box set that I haven't yet gotten around to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Bills. Savings (I did open a Roth IRA with this year's return). A DVD box set or 3 (Jeremiah,DS9,CSI,The Shield, & the 2nd season of Star Blazers) We are thinking of getting also,something from the following list: Mid-range digital still camera A baseline PC (non-current gaming) Playstation 2 (mine has just about had it - don't think I can hold out till E3) Portable DVD player (ours is dead - I'd like a quality backup) HD TV (unlikely - unless something major happens) Last,but certainly not least - is a wedding we need to plan...

PoisonJam Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Once upon a time, our tax refunds went towards things like trips to Vegas or Disney, home theater gear, and computers. Now, though, it is going to new windows and possibly re-doing the bathroom. Ugh, what happened to us? Oh I remember now, we bought a money pit. (Incidentally, may I just say that having a baby is not the worst thing you can do as far as tax refunds go...especially when you forget to modify your witholding to reflect the additional dependant! Add in the fact that we are in the second year of a mortgage and thus are paying monster amounts of (deductible) interest, and, well, Unky Sam will be good to us this year. Too bad it is quite literally going out the windows this year. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJames Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Mine will be going toward a downpayment on a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris F Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Well, here's my list: Paying off Cathartic for the TV he bought me, like 15 years ago. Steel Battalion & Line of Contact. A CobaltFlux Metal Dance Pad for DDR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Um... Nothing. My refund, if any, is likely to be a few hundred dollars that will go towards our credit card. I don't like giving out interest free loans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 I'll be getting a big fat tax bill as usual. Working for yourself has its plusses...and its minuses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce B Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 I don't like giving out interest free loans I understand that line of thinking but dont adhere to it. I understand the government is holding your money but I like the concept of getting a lump sum check, its like "found money" that you dont feel guilty blowing on a purchase of a big ticket item.

EnemaEms Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 I haven't even gotten my W2 yet, which I think is illegal (aren't you supposed to have it by Jan 31st?). So I don't know how much I'm getting back. Ed, W2's must be mailed out by Jan. 31st. I dropped off my tax papers to my accountant last week. Hopefully I'll have my refund soon. -Dean- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTello Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 Car Insurance! My annual 'turn my refund into my lump sum payoff on car insurance.' One less monthly bill to deal with. Not too sexy, I know. I'd love to turn it into HT stuff, but this keeps away the guilt I'd feel. And I figure I save on surcharges in the end.
