Are/were your tax refund already spent before you got it?

Mine is already almost gone, and I don't get it until the 21st *hangs head in shame*

    every penny (which isn't much) is going into savings... not feeling super secure about the future of my job right now so better safe than sorry!

    I was using TurboTax and it was going to cost almost my whole refund just to prepare and file with them. Noooo thank you. I work for a library foundation and I know that I can go into the library and get all the forms I need, as well as directions on how to fill them out myself. So I'm doing that this year, for the first time ever. But, I also don't have anything complicated.

    I was expecting to owe and ended up getting $2200 back... definitely haven't spent it. It'll probably go into savings, or I might start paying off some school loans early.

    I usually get a LOT back. Like more than 600. That is a huge amount for me.

    This year I am getting 135. Haven't filed State yet. Probably owe them. :(

    Refund? Refund? LMAO haven't had one of those in a couple years. Income went up, sadly most of the 'extra' income goes to taxes (so what was the point in that raise?) plus we try to be close anyways, even when we were getting a 'refund' we didn't want to lend the government our money for free.

    Going toward new loveseat for the living room. We bought the sofa prior to Christmas and put a deposit on the loveseat to lock in the price. It will be delivered next week (about the same time as the tax refund gets deposited).

    I paid off my bills that I had racked up thanks to an ex-boyfriend (this came with a promise to myself to never to be so stupid again :angry: ), and financed a move into a new place for me and my kids to start fresh. :drinker:

    We put some in our primary savings towards our vacation in July. We put some more in our secondary savings towards refinancing my moms house into our name (she wants something smaller so we are gonna assume it). We paid off my chiropractor bill, paid for our one cat to be fixed and get his shots and saved aside the money for the 2nd of our cats for her shots, we are fixing the window on our car that has been taped up for a year and a half and if there is anything left, we will be putting $100 towards clothes for in between sizes (I don't spend more than $2 on shirts and $4 on jeans at Burkes outlet while Im losing) and my hubby and I are each getting our 3rd tats.

    Refund?
    Never get one, because that means I overpaid those crooks, and they're just giving me back what is mine with ZERO INTEREST!

    No thanks!
    Instead, I just cheat on my taxes and keep what I can steal, invest that and make money on what I don't pay those greedy rich, elitist goose eggs.
