Taxes and I don't know how it happened...
 

So my wife works as a realtor and she had a pretty good year this past year working part-time. Anyway, we did not pay any pre-taxes during the year to cover her, so I fully expected to owe a big amount of money. Well, her business expenses knocked it down a ton as well as us having another baby and some other large medical expenses...and we got a tax refund. After thinking that we would owe several thousand dollars, it is nice to get a little money back. I have been perfecting my shirtless Swayze jump of happiness all day today.

Now I just have to go out and spend it because we didn't expect it. I guess with this attitude, I now know why we are not stinkin' rich!

I have a business opportunity for you. Have you heard of Amway? If you get three people and they get three people and they get three people, you'll be rich!

If your wife needs a good loan officer let me know :)

Why? Do you know one? ;)

I was in the exact same position last year and am hopeful that the IRS gods are pleased once again this year to allow me the same blessing.

Well, I have to thank you, Mr. Star...your luck must be contagious! I just finished ours and we get a refund (in spite of our fears that we'd owe a small fortune).

Unfortunately, I have been informed that I will not be spending it and instead we will be doing something "responsible" like putting it in the kid's college fund. Sheesh. how uncool.
