You can run a W4 calculator to help you figure out what your deductions should look like. I'd rather have a few hundred a month than a big, fat return personally. :) You may want to change your withholding so you get your money this year instead of Uncle Sam.

I still want one though :) @ Pete

Yes, it’s hard to justify the price of a new imac. I still want one though :)

I did get a computer, but it was much cheaper than the iMac. Windows, yes, but a top-end quad core for a third the price.

I hope you're back in your home now and rebuilding the damaged roof. I'm afraid to ask, but what do braces run for teenagers? I'm sure it varies, but I never needed braces as a kid and don't know what to expect. I guess I'd better start putting some money away for our kids dental fund. Maybe the tooth fairy should just offer direct deposit to this fund :) @ Ron

Pay a few small remaining debts from the ice storm that hit on Jan 27. 2. Pay a couple of thousand on my daughter's braces. 3. Rebuild our emergency fund after having $10,037 in medical expenses last year. Last year was a rough one on the healthcare front for us. We’re using ours to do three things:

We haven't computed our taxes yet but I expect a healthy refund, thanks to spending $10k for a remodel of our rental property. Still....I'm as excited to get rid of debt as I would anticipating a really cool purchase. Kinda weird in a gratifying sorta way! We’ll accelerate our debt payoff.
