I'm single/no kids so I don't usually get more than a couple hundred back, so I just throw it in savings. :yeshrug:

Probably won't get around to actually doing my taxes till April. :heh:

If I wanted to open a CD and it says .10% annual yield what exactly does that mean? Lets say I put 3000 in it and it has a .20% how much would i be making? .20% of 3000?
CD's :camby:

you dont get to touch your money for a year and a half so that the bank can loan it out at 7 percent and give you 1 percent. fukk that :mjlol:

yea i put my checks at 1 instead of 0, so i get bigger checks/smaller return. everyone should do that imo. loaning the govt your money all year at 0 interest is fukkin stupid, but for some reason people feel like they 'win' when they get a big return. but the news flash is that it was always your money :dead:

well thats what it would do :yeshrug: spread out 1300 to bump your paychecks throughout the year, and make your return about 500 in february

for me, doing that is the easy choice. for some people, getting a large amount at once is cool. but like my dad said, theres nothing heroic about getting a tax return :heh: its your fukkin money

Nah, one of my job doesn't take out taxes. I'm basically a contractor and I get a 1099. I wrote off everything I could, but I still owed 9 something.

Thats on YOU. If you know you've got that kind of job, stop treating your whole paycheck as take-home. Same goes for regular annual expenses like real estate taxes. Take them out of your paycheck every month instead of struggling every April.

I put 80% of my refund into the stock market. The other 15%, just saved it and the other 5%, I fukked off.

If you want to open up a savings account, you should open up a money market account, because they have an higher apr, than a regular savings account.

Buying CD's will not give you a good return on your investment, CD's are really made for old people, who do not want any risk when investing.

Check out Bankrate.com, they give you a break down on high interest savings accounts.
