Hurray for taxes

[Altec]

I love it. Just finished my taxes and getting almost an even $6,000 back from uncle Sammy. <Note to Self: Adjust deductions again. Why is getting this much money all year?>

Anywho, looks like its time to start workin' on da Bus!

U must be young, and single.

 

[Altec]

Depends on what you call young. Lately I've been feeling ooooold.

But all things considered, 33 isn't that old.

But I am married with a son. Which kills all the fun of being single.

Keep us posted on the mods

(With Pictures of course)

Kind of nice getting that fat check once a year, isn't it?

 

[Altec]

Shenoyp, I'm not sure exactly yet. Its still a bone stock '05 Black/Silver. With summer coming, I need a new lighter weight riding jacket. Even if I zip out the liner in the one I have now it will bake my from the inside by the middle of June. So I'm thinking:

First major mod, I think I'm going with is the Akropovic Evolution Full Titanium 4-2-1 w/ Power Commander.

BigBS,

yeah getting the big check is nice, but I would honestly rather have the money in my pocket during the year and use it rather than have to wait 12 months for it.

I really try NOT to let this happen and adjust my finances every year accordingly. I have to go beat up my financial advisor and find out why he let the government make interest on my money rather than me. That's $500 a MONTH that should be in my pocket not "the man's."

I work hard for my money and I don't really appreciate that someone else (in this case the IRS/gov't) gets to play with it while I can't.

Well, that's what I was going to say, but you've got that figured out already

Think of it for now as a forced savings account, and have fun with the money.

You might want to consider a mesh jacket for the summertime. They are like riding in a t shirt, but with protection. I got one last year and just love it, but it is only good for hot weather.

Yeah, exactly altec!  It's much better to plan ahead to get your taxes to a $0 owing/paid back.  Like you say, it's better to have the money during the year instead of giving an interest free loan to Old Sammy for the year.

Since u were able to survive without that extra '500' a month, it would have been even better if that 500 went into a 401K (RRSP for us) plan and get even more back!

So lets hear about those mods!

hehe

Yeah, getting money back is awesome. I unfortunately didn't get too much back this year, and it's gone already anyway.
