What are u doin w/ your tax refund???

Just curious as to what you guys are doing w/ your refunds, I'm not really sure yet, maybe a vacation somewhere.

If you have to pay, I'm sorry

Not sure how much I'll get but Im definitely getting new brake rotors all around and installing the front pads I have waiting since I already replaced the rears.

I'll probably make it rain on the hoes in my garage with the rest.

I shouldn't get much back... ~300-500 if I'm lucky. I'll throw that toward a bill or two..

I adjust my withholding throughout the year to maximize my take home pay. I'll be damned if I give the government any more of my money interest free then I have to.

The wife always gets mine to pay for property taxes (one of her bills). This will be the last year of that, thankfully.

Wait!! I lied. I forgot, I'm getting my stimulus check this year because of an error on the IRS's part since I didn't get it this past year.
