At least you're spending it on important shit. I mean $1000 is a pretty big payment on your student loan, it's just one less thing to worry about and having running electricity is always a good thing

Yeah...that is a good thing to pay off actually, haha. I sent mine in at the very last moment so I don't think it's going to be coming for a while. And it's pretty measely too since I waited tables all last year.

wow, it takes you guys a long time to get your returns. I get mine within 10 days every year.
This year was big (combined between Sandy and I): $2000 for student loan debt, $2000 for other debt, $1000 for OLP and other fun stuff

I got $250 back, and haven't seen it since. It was going towards Greece, but my madre took that away from me and I have yet to see any of that money.

If I had sent it in earlier in the year I would have gotten it in a couple of weeks I am sure.

Same here......I went grocery shopping today for the first time in almost a year. Pathetic.
I only spent like 55 bucks, too.

Do you just not eat...or do you eat out all the time?
Actually, my tax return will probably go toward school debt until I am too old to care about laptops and iPods.

I am starting a new trend for summer: I will only eat out once a week. It's gonna be hard. But then so is training for the 5k...so it will be ok.
Oh crap, I don't know if I will be able to do this since I am working in a restaurant for the summer...haha...
