    Wasn't born with any silver spoon up my ass and we scraped by for a lot of years. One of the worst lows was needing to sell most of my guns to make a payment once

    For me it means spending time with the gkids, hunting, fishing, crabbing, clamming, blacksmithing, furniture building, brewing beer, gourmet cooking and relaxing with the blushing bride of 40 years.

    Gotta love being a single male with no kids, no house, etc. Knowing how things go, I'll likely get $100 bucks back from the state and need to write a $500 check to the IRS. And that's with me having my employer withold extra every paycheck :annoyed:

    I spend it as I get it. I have watched too man folks that I knew that never spent any or hardly any only end up dyeing and never really enjoying what they worked for. I do have a few bucks each pay check deposited into a savings account, but its a fun fund account so to speak, that's where my play money comes out of LOL

    You sound like me. I just spent mine yesterday on getting my dog's teeth cleaned and two masses removed.

    She's going in today to get her shots and to get a couple of lumps looked at. We will see if the vet wants to remove them or not.

    I just had to go down that road with mine... Ended up removing one and luckily it was benign... i try not to think about all the mods i could have done to my truck if it weren't for my vet bills. I'm sure I alone have paid for my vet's car with my one dog.

    it's not... after my last ridiculous bill, i opted for pet insurance... so far each year I've received more than my premium so i'm good there...

    Despite all the $$, she's worth every penny, my wife often says that she just hopes i love her as much as I do the dog.

    So, my wife's W2 was inadvertently handed over to some crook(s), along with the W2s of all of the other employees at her work, 300+. Apparently, the now former head of HR was conned into handing this sensitive info over to the wrong person(s). One employee filed his tax return yesterday only to find that someone else had already filed. This is a software company and the salaries aren't small. What a frickin' disaster this is gonna be.

    Some suspension tweaks
    Bump for a new year.

    I'm seriously looking at spending my return on the TRD Pro suspension. I've heard nothing but good about how the ride is on road, yet still fully capable off road.
    Really looking hard at this. Didn't sleep much last night with all the thinking about it going `round in my head.

    Probably splitting it between savings and a retractable tonneau cover. Depends on how much it is though. Under $2000 and it'll probably all go into savings.

    I got a nice bonus this year and a decent tax return, but we're having our second baby in March, so... Probably no Tundra upgrades this year :(

    Into savings and then buy stock when the market takes a dive and stock prices drop.
    I like to see long lines of customers in Walmart, Home Depot, and buyers of everything Coca-Cola.
    Buy low sell high. Dividend reinvestment works wonders.
