So what percent of your income tax return do you plan to spend on your reef tank this year?

I'm hoping 1-24%.

I don't think I owe Uncle Sam, but Uncle Mastercard is a different story. :)

I had to invest most of it into making sure my car lasts me a few more years.
Job market is tough for college grads right now so I'm saving my money where I can until I get a steady good paying job.

Ha, one of the few good things about being a poor graduate student is tax season. However, it is countered by the biggest issue of being a poor graduate student, credit card debt. The tank is in a holding pattern at this point...

lol. Good point Scott. I graduated last year and was able to pay off a good portion of mine off last tax season.
you will be set once you finally graduate and become a cow vet or whatever you plan on doing. I'm sure it pays better than whatever I'm floundering around doing :D

Four more years my good man, I will be 30 before I start collecting a pay check...

If anyone wants to start up a Reefsanctuary scholarship fund... ;)

I voted for the 1-24%. I would like for it to be more in the 50% but, I really should keep some back for emergencies.

I hate having to be responsible! LOL

I voted for "None".

We use half of our tax return for home improvements or vacations, we alternate each year. The other half goes into savings.

Good Luck and Have Fun!!!

:D. Ok, I voted none, but Jim at Exquistite Corals made me change my mind.
He is a sly one indeed, getting me to part with my tax return money oh so easily :D
