More hookers and blow.
 You can't go wrong with Hookers and Blow, unless your name is Marion Barry (and he still got elected) or Charlie Sheen.

Check out closeouts on www.hockeygiant.com and www.hockeymonkey.com for skates. They have $400 to $500 skates for less than half if you don't mind them being a previous year's model. There's no point in blowing your entire return on one thing. |

Got any debt to pay? I used the majority of my tax return($3800+) to wipe out two credit card debts and damn it felt good.
 ETA - now I'll have more actual $$$ to spend on fun stuff instead of worrying about those 2 bills. |

I hope this is sarcastic. Otherwise it is the most idiotic post I've read in a while. Size of refund does not equate to annual salary. In fact, one should strive to have a zero refund every year. Think you're a hot shot cuz you get $5000 "back" every year? Well that's a nice NO interest loan you made to the feddle guvment...nice job, and nice way to handle your finances. Why do people think they are getting some prize for letting the guvment hold their paychecks for free for a year. I would say the author is doing well to only get $550 back, not too much out of line. Your little snide comments about him being a McDonalds manager or his living in a trailer are hypocritical coming from someone who cannot grasp the simple concept of personal financial planning or money management. If it was all jokes....then throw a smiley in there. roy d....coaching the uncoachable edited to add: Get the AK...for $350 and save $200 for the ho |

I got some Vapor 8's 2.5 years ago, they are nice and light and they have held up great. I do not follow the 'equipment' scene unless I need something. I was a 22+ year CCM guy, until Bauer made the 8's with a different cut. I profiled them and they are the best thing I have ever bought.

Retire debt, and then go on a cash/debit card financial plan.
Learn to live on less, much less if possible, and invest. Unclutter your life. Learn to stop buying fadish and trendy stuff. Quite likely you do all of this. If your refund is $550, you know how to manage your paycheck so as to avoid giving .gov and free loan. I hope that I grow up soon and learn that rewarding myself does not equal spending money on myself and vv. |

I have NO debt and about $8000 in savings already. I'm a college kid who only worked for the summer at $8/hr.
So I have to buy something...can't beleive no one voted on the Loopy binos. The skates would HAVE to come from my local pro shop. Too much uncertainty about fit and pain to risk getting them off the net again. Its a refund...its like free money. I lived without for this long so I must not have needed it that bad. An AK is temping...but I think I have to go with the skates...the pain...just can't do it anymore... |

I say skates, then AK. Staying in shape is more important (at least to me) than buying a new gun. And if getting new skates is going to help you get out there and play, get them.

Hire someone to teach you some basic math, so you can avoid giving Uncle Sugar a large interest free loan every year.

I, like many others, look at it not as an interest free loan for the government, but as a .gov operated piggy bank. I use it for stuff I want or need (or student loan debt, whatever) after a year as a gift to myself for living below the means that I could have had, and still saving some when doing that. I got back about $2000 this year, but I am only keeping $200 for frivolous purposes. The rest of it is going into debts and putting myself in a better domicile. I rent, sure, and dont like renting vs. owning, but everyone starts somewhere. |
