Tax returns! (aka pipe and tobacco money!!)

[smeigs]

So I did my tax returns today and I am getting a good little chunk back this year. I will be using a large portion of it for my honeymoon to Scotland this year but of course I set aside a little extra for some massive tobacco orders!! Anyone else thinking about spending a little of their returns on some baccy? Smeigs

I will be mailing mine in shortly as I love contributing money to the well being of my fellow citizens. Actually this year I might get a few peso's back and I think I might invest in a new tobacco jar to replace the old cracked alabaster one I inherited from an aunt who was using it as a door stop back in 1979. When I had it on my desk at the office years ago someone politely asked me whose ashes were in the urn on my desk! I responded in true Monty Python style by tipping the contents of my ash tray onto a large sheet of paper and commenting that this was the amount of ash an average smoker makes ….. but not all smokers are cremated!

I'm just praying I get a decent return... I missed out on the tax credit when I bought my house this year... I really wanted the extra bucks then; now I know I want it!

Most definitely. Part will go to bills I've put off, part will go to a new house, and part will go towards starting an LLC.

Hopefully you will find this little piece of advice useful and enjoy the additional money through-out the year; If you are getting a return, you are losing money. Lending money, interest free to the Government, is not a good idea fiscally. Change your deductions, look into a bit of investing, and do some planning and saving for retirement. Just putting it in a standard savings account will give you more of a return, maybe 1% or a bit more, than simply over-paying your tax and then celebrating getting back less money.
The Government doesn't need that money you lend them and you can do much better with it in hand than you can letting the Government use it and then returning less to you, after inflation, than you gave them.
Long term guys! Think in the longer term.

In short, I have already been pre-spending the return 8)

I'm hoping I get another good return this year, if so then I'll definitely be making a large list for a big TAD order!

I know it's sacrilege to admit this on this board, but the money that I get back will probably go to cigars.

I hear you Warren! Problem is my wife likes to get a return.
After the usual stuff (pet meds, clothes, etc) I plan on paying off my layaway at Smokers Haven and maybe getting more tobacco. Probably get cigars for the wife as well.

Haha I wish I hadn't have seen this thread!
Most of my money I've already allocated to go to bills and I'm holding myself back from spending the rest on pipes and tobacco! lol. I've already decided I wanted to order many ounces of Mississippi River. Might have to grab that and a pipe...that's it......I hope.
