Clearly, we've overpaid in taxes... but we aren't putting it towards anything fun :( We've got a ton of medical bills to pay (I've had what feels like a million doctors appointments in the last 4 - 5 months), and DH has bills from a recent knee surgery and physical therapy to pay off. And then I'm going to put a chunk into my RothIRA with whats left... boo, no fun! chrispygal on "What are you doing with your tax return?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-with-your-tax-return-1/page/2#post-687467 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 14:16:13 +0000 chrispygal 687467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Return? haha!

Ours barely makes it every summer, and it's already having issues, so it was time.
