Did my taxes - getting a $3,200 return. The mortgage and local tax deductions are really nice. The wierd part is that I made just slightly more this year than last year (I need to take this up with my employer), but my deductions were a bit less (probably due to less mortgage interest paid), but my over-all tax was less. Maybe this is Chimpy giving me some extra money back this year.
Next stop.. Newegg!
/update
I had mentioned that after I tick over a certain amount of savings that I might spend a few bucks. For the most part, I live like a college student minus the ramen noodles, so spending a few bucks shouldn't be going overboard and foolhardy.
The bank where I keep the money must have the same dollar amount setup on their computers that triggers a sales call from one of their bankers trying to get me to move money into one of their higher yeild accounts. They want me to come in to "discuss my options". I guess I've arrived.. :)
The problem is that I know what it's like to be out of work for a long time, and how much cash you can go through, so I'm leary of tying up a bunch of money in some other sort of investment.. but I really need to do something.. it's getting absurd.
