Tax Returns, What Are You Planning On Buying?

WOW do I agree with you there. A long time ago someone pointed out to me that for every $365 the government holds of your money, without interest, it's like handing someone a dollar a day of yours. Then allowing you to get it back someday, maybe.
Hopefully I'll only have to pay enough to still be able to afford gas to go to all the coin shows.

Ummm, for every $1000 of yours the govt holds and then refunds, you're looking at about less than $2 of opportunity cost compared to 0,25% money market rates...hardly a financial move from which you can't recover. And yes, I realize everybody reading this somehow manages 25%+ annual returns so the numbers are different for you Tax refunds are not a universally wrong move, depending on one's other financial behavior.

Anyway, part of any refund I get will go to my fund for a CC Half Eagle purchase someday.

When I tell people at work that I typically owe taxes when I file my returns, they give me strange looks. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who does this.

I generally get money back. Not much but enough to buy a couple ASEs maybe.

It's goinf to buy tires for my truck!
I don't get back much but if there's anything left perhaps something in satin finish :)

I got my Federal refund after 9 days.

I e-filed on 2/3 and it is deposited for posting 2/12.
I have already spent the money (plus more) for the 1893-S Morgan dollar to finish the set.

Wow I feel bad now, I always get about a grand back, sorry too those who didnt get anything back. I really splurged this year on coins and supplies. I was actually going to start a thread about it and probally will when it all arrives, with lots of pictures. I spent about $650 and did pretty well.

I think thats everything it was a hard choice between that and a computer with all attachments and a new tv. But I started looking at coins and thinking about how I need to organize my hoard and the choice became easy. I made my purchases through ebay, Amazon, wizard coin supply, and CCF.
