Worth the Wait
Finally did my taxes today. Between my actual refunds and the stimulus rebate, I'm going to pocket about $1200 this year...
How shall I stimulate the economy?
I'm tempted to just put it all in savings, since my emergency fund is only about half of what it should be, but what's the fun in that?
I just learned this year (when I was deducting the sales tax on my Mini) that you can actually deduct the sales tax from everything you bought all year long if you kept your receipts. Does anybody actually do that? Is it ever worth the effort? That's a LOT of receipts to total up.
I don't want to hear anything from anybody about how I could have had the money months ago. I am not interested. I'm done on time and that's all that matters.
The gov' never sent me a real estate tax statement this year. What's that about? And I know that I never got it, because although I may take my sweet time opening my mail, I never throw anything away without opening and reading it (unless it's clearly junk mail). I just had to extrapolate from my mortgage company's escrow statement.
That might have been the most grown-up sentence ever on this blog.
ASIDE: It is insane that the livejournal spell check doesn't know the word "blog". But then, it also doesn't know livejournal as one word.
