I've been budgeting like hell the past year, and saving a grip.
I don't mind giving the government an interest free loan, not like savings accounts are yielding much anyway.
Plus trying to invest is tough unless you are a snake oil salesman. I've read a lot on the investing, even tried the stock simulator on Investopedia, and I still don't feel comfortable. Good thing my boy is a financial analyst and he manages my account, and he just briefs me with updates with why's and how's.
Tax refund is like Christmas for adults,
Christmas- "Why give your kids/family/gf/wife/parents a bunch of gifts on this day when you can give them year round?"
Valentines Day- "Why give your gf/wife/jumpoff a gift this day when you can show your love throughout the year"
Thanksgiving- "Why feast and give thanks on this day, when you should be giving thanks at every meal?"
If you like paying Uncle Sam on 4/15, cool, do you.
I like my refund check, it's not my only form of savings, and I still invest.

First time home buyer credit of $8000 FTW. Sending all of my paperwork to my accountant this week.
Tax return is going towards my down payment on my new A5.

Supposedly they were supposed to be done by last week because they made errors.
Im thinking that they spend all the tax money they withheld and had to try and comeup with it last minute.
Im in the NYC Carpenters Union so I have a few W2's from different companies.
If it doesnt come in the mail today Im going to call up the company again.
Aside from them is there anyone else I could talk to ??
EDIT:
They said they should be getting mailed out on Friday.
