Haven't decided yet. Either drop a new transmission in my old truck, or put a down payment on a new one.

Donate it to the Furnace college fund.

If I were to get one, I would follow Matt's lead and put it towards a high end gaming computer. Depending on what you are willing to pay, you can set up a system that makes a PS3 look like a pocket calculator. A new Gibson "Les Paul" guitar would work too.

HOLY SPIT!!!
Tuition for 1 semester?
Where the heck do you go?

After a rough estimate of what my refund will be, I'll probably just roll it into my savings, or waste it buying DVDs.

Quote:Where the heck do you go?

I'm at Washington University (in St. Louis). It's kinda expensive but I try to make myself feel better by not looking at the statements.

Thank God for student loans! 02-13-banana

Kinda expensive? I've been in college for almost 7 years and haven't spent that kind of dough.

I did an ROI analysis (Return on Investment) and the return was very high so I can justify spending that much money.

Anyway, if you would like to spend that kind of money you can. I'll just send you my tuition bill for the rest of time in school.

Does that mean you'll pick up my tab if I go to anesthesia school?

Sure, if you pick up my tab until I graduate (3 semesters.)

Anesthesia school is 7 semesters.

Refund? What refund? I didn't get no stinkin' refund!

Quote:Anesthesia school is 7 semesters

Yeah, but how much do those 7 semesters cost?

They aren't cheap, even if I stay in state (except for Samford).

Dfarr,
After you are finished with that are you going to get another degree? There is a guy in my class who just finished his PhD in Neuroscience and decided he wanted his MBA. He's a professional student for sure. Don't be like him...get a job.

Want to do with it: Wii, PS3, New appliances, 50" DLP HDTV, etc.
Should do with it: Roth IRA, savings
Proably will do with it: Save it until my baby comes in March then buy all the crap we don't need.

Nah, after I finish nursing school I'm working for a few years before I decide what I want to go to grad school for. And I've also had a job since 2004, it's just not my career.

In a way, that's a good thing. You weren't over-taxed.

Yay, GN!

No interest-free loans to the government in 2006! 02-13-banana

I'm still waiting on my W-2's to get here. I've got 1 out of 3 so far. I plan to put some down on my credit cards and put some in savings for when my car breaks down (it should go over 200,000 miles in the first part of February). Kinda boring plans with it.
