How's Everyone Spending Their Tax Return?

[JK47]

Curious what you guys are doing with your tax returns this year? Me:

-More tattoo's. I want to finish off my right sleeve
-Two new tires (sux how expensive tires are)
-Maintenance, brakes, wipers etc for the cars
-A few new jerseys
-Stock a little away for our family vacation

Tax return gets smaller every year...

What tax returns? Not even worth a carton of cigarettes.....

No special plans, just put it in the bank and use the money as needed. Use it as a parachute to help soften the fall off the physical cliff.

In 'Murica it really depends on your salary, if your a home owner and have kids in day care of not. My returns used to be something to celebrate about but now that I don't own a house and kids are out of daycare they are weaksauce..

Well in US state levied taxes, real estate taxes and interests paid toward up to $1 million dollar mortgage gets deducted off your income...so if you pay high enough of these things, you can have some money come back at the end.

The day care(or after school expenses for me) is $5000 pre tax FSA account, and thus does not affect the tax return that much...though it does save me about $1200...
