This class will be done in 2 weeks...so our taxes will be done shortly after. Because we are military, we end up getting a good chunk back (because, like you, we cringe about giving the government a free loan, yet hubby "forgets" every year to stop claiming "0"). The majority of our refund will go right into savings, to be spent in approximately 2 chunks (when we pay for the next class...and the one after that). The "rebate" we get will be to spend...on a new mattress set for US. Both of our kids got new beds when they "aged up" out of the crib. But this mattress we have, my hubby bought 3 years before he met me (we didn't keep MY bed, he hated the futon, lol). So a new mattress it is...and quite frankly, I would like to spend more than $500 on it, though he's too cheap to spend much more) Well, we haven’t done taxes yet…my hubby does them, and he’s elbow deep in an 18 page paper he has to write for a doctoral-level class.

Also paid off several bills too. I am looking into either a camcorder or a new washer. Prolly go with the new washer!

We haven't divied up the funds just yet, though. We got ourselves a 10 cu. foot chest freezer, and we’re planning to pay down some of our debt. We haven’t divied up the funds just yet, though.
