MmM, delicious interest. Sure, the 1% from a savings account ain't much. But a few hundred invested wisely adds up. Or if you're in a tight spot, helps make sure the bills keep getting paid.

I'm getting my rockers fixed. If it's about the same as last year i'll get around $7,000 back.

Savings accounts aren't even 1% anymore.

I already figured mine out, I'm getting $1350 back. I'd rather get a bigger refund, that I can actually do something with, than an additional $25 a week that wont buy much at all. Saving is damn near impossible because everytime you save money up, something goes wrong and you can't even buy what you wanted to.

As for me, I am going to pay off Dell, buy a new TV for my bedroom, and buy a much needed new mattress.

Speaking of the mattress. That's one thing I have been attempting to save for for over a year. Every single time I get any kind of accumulation, getting close to what I need, something breaks on a car or at the house. And if it weren't for the way I file my W4, I'd not have gotten back $1200 last year, and wouldn't have been able to combine that with some money I had in savings (from selling a car) to put a down payment on my GP.

buy gold...best thing my father ever made me do. and thats probably what most of my return will go to.....plus daddy needs a new 338....so thats gonna happen as well

Saving's a matter of self-control, definitely. Mostly for me, it's indifference. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
boostedcompg: I'm curious about how the gold thing's working out for you.

Boy isn't this the truth.

We just lowered our $100K+ MMA's to .55%

It's a joke, sad to say.

I agree 150%

Doing a bunch of maintenance work on my car. People that had it before me did not take the best care of her. I am doing all four struts, both front wheel bearings/hubs, front sway bar, rear rotors, new alternator, and a tranny fluid and filter change. Might end up doing tie rod ends also.

So instead you put it on a credit card, costing yourself far more than you could have ever hoped to have made investing it.

I do my best not to get a return. Why give the goverment a free loan?

I haven't put anything on a credit card in a few years.

I'm tired of the people saying I am giving the goverment a free loan. $100 a month isn't sh!t, but $1300 all at once is a good chunk of change.

Ill get back around 4K I hope anyways. I will be paying off my Tooth crowns and redecking my front porch....Yippy lol

gold works out awsome...the more you can buy at once the better. but my 200 bucks worth that i bought in highschool is worth quite a bit more now. i dont have tons but save for a bit then turn my money into gold. its almost a fail proof investment.

I wouldnt buy gold this high, esp with the economy Upticking.

well it hasent gone down in a long as time....and people in other countries will buy it 100 percent of them time...as opposed to the un almighty dollar. people have bought and traded gold for a thousands of years...its a pretty safe bet they wont stop tomorrow
