Don't spend it yet, the tax relief plan is only a proposal at this time. Go ahead and dream, just don't spend.

I'd give it to a school because of all the children left behind, or to the Veterans of Foreign Wars so those who lost their fathers can pay their rent for one more month, or the Red Cross for all those who were denied Federal aid in any number of natural disasters, or to the Nature Conservancy so that all the raped land can be purchased and privatized since the federal government seems to think its only value is in selling it off. Or maybe to Obama and Clinton so that they will have to resource to return the government to some sense of human kindness. There are so many good causes, it's tough to decide.

i think, i said i think...you would have to make 60k to get the rebate. either way, your type is the reason i have to pay each year. me and my wife make over 100k but we only have 1 kid, since we realized that was all we could afford. a family of 4 making 52k a year, and your worried about buying rims for your car? teach us how to do that, please, sounds like the good life.

#1 ............ it sucks to be you. hows it feal to be a slave to money!
it very simple realy, i have a very well set out budget that i don't falter, and because of "that" yah i live a nice life. i don't live to the most of my income and i don't count overtime thats extra, i don't go out to eat every night, i don't have a 4k TV or a 400k house to make payments on, i have 1 credit card and its not even 1/4 maxed, i don't have a $300 cell phone or a $200 a month phone bill. i save up my money and pay for things with cash!!!!!!!!! wow you know what that takes patience & restrestaint. i saved for a hole year just to put a down payment to get my car. i know people that make just as much as me that are thousends and thousends in the hole and don't even have kids. it all has to do with priorities.
what i spend on my car is pure extra. my familly is well taken care of. if you must know i only claim 1 on my W4 so at the end of the year i claim 4 and that gives me a nice chunk of change to play with when i file taxes. so i also pay out alot more durring the year
ive also got several k spread out threw meny different investments. my car comes last.

my taxes have nothing to do with yours, thats like tring to compare electric bills. 100 different factors.
don't be so quick to judge!

There is also no need to bash on somebody for how they spend their money and insinuate that they do not take care of their family.
