If we'd just done that LAST year we wouldn't have ended up with the debt from a crappy end of the year in sales.keishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00366652428611964727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906231177906492968.post-89195983939647305182012-01-27T15:03:51.981-05:002012-01-27T15:03:51.981-05:00Abby - the sad part is that we DO still own a home...Abby - the sad part is that we DO still own a home in Indy (ughhhhh). We never counted the interest payments though since it is a private loan. And that paired with our uber crappy charitable giving means we just take the standard deduction each year for now.<br /><br />Keisha - isn't it crazy?! Glad we aren't alone ;-) And way to go funding that emergency fund!!!!Amanda E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01915839659286635916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906231177906492968.post-68169486327456291662012-01-27T13:27:23.177-05:002012-01-27T13:27:23.177-05:00Yep. We're in the same position. Jonathan wo...Yep. We're in the same position. Jonathan worked all year at a wage our family can live on, our baby is over a year old and we are still receiving an obscene amount of money back. (Last year with a new baby it was 5 figures!) This year isn't as high but it's completely funding our emergency fund and paying off 50% of our debt - AFTER tithing. <br /><br />I do appreciate the boost. But JUST MAYBE our country wouldn't be in such a ridiculous mess if the government would learn the difference between a "tax refund" and "we're going to give you thousands of dollars just because." If they did, they would be sending us 6 TIMES less money than they actually are.keishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00366652428611964727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906231177906492968.post-82865018311408436332012-01-27T11:18:42.668-05:002012-01-27T11:18:42.668-05:00Must be nice :-) Phillip makes too much for the E...Must be nice :-) Phillip makes too much for the EIC which makes me sad, but having 4 kids does mean we don't pay too much in taxes (and we always get a refund). Just wait until Jake is making his REAL paycheck. That's when you'll be paying back into the system!! AND... now that you don't own a house you won't get nearly as much back this year. boo!Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09002519095679695079noreply@blogger.com
