Anybody got plans for their TAX refund?

Post by VidmanII »

Wife just told me that we're gettin' like 3K back from Uncle Sam and state of NJ. She's a mizer tho, so I ant gonna see but maybe a couple 100 bux. I'm think in' of some Logitech Z560s. That would be good for a few smiles. :D

How 'bout you guys????

I wouldn't mind gettin' a cordless desktop too but I'm gonna have to do some serious politicking to free up some more dough. She wants to do the usual "useless" stuff like save for the kidz' college and buy home stuff. <b>ugh !!! what nerve !! </b> :lol

I get about $180 back so I'll probably put it towards an ATI 8500DV :)

I bought the same things Predator did plus some ddr ram, a heatsink, took my landord and his wife out to dinner. Paid some bills. Should have got new tires for the cay though. I hate having to put air in one of them every 2 days. The rear ones are whether checked something terrible. Ihate spending money on car. :( I almost bought some of those new logitech speakers. With my Klopsh 4.1 and logitechs I'm sure I'd be looking for a new please to live. :)

With my measly $150 back from state and federal I'm spending it towards my new stuff. State went towards dual 60GB harddrives and Federal will be used for a stick of 256MB DDR RAM.

Thankfully, I'm not getting a refund. Last thing I want is to give the government an interest free loan. :)
