Tax Returns!

May I just say tax returns kick BUTT!  Waking up to find our federal tax return deposited already (a little under 2 weeks after our filing) kicks major BUTT!  Putting half of that tax return to Isaac's school loan --- KICKS GIANT SIZE BUTT!  

I think Mr. Dave Ramsey himself would be quite proud of us for our commitment.  

Eek - I get to see him in April! So stoked! Nerd much?? ;)

Way back in September, hubby & I made a deal that half of whatever our tax return was (whether it was $500 or $5,000) would be put towards the car loan.  This was before we learned of getting the loan forgiveness...which moved the school loan to being our smallest debt.  So we will be putting half of our return towards that puppy this next week! HUZZAH!  And all of that beautiful money will be going straight to principal -- loves it!  Boy it feels good to be getting closer & closer to have all our debt paid off.  Once the school loan is gone it'll be time  to get aggressive with that car.  And then, with the exception of our house, we'll be DEBT FREE! Soooo close! We've been super aware of where we're spending our money the last few months - with paying on the loans & putting money away for the two wedding trips we have coming up.  Basically - all this to say that currently the Parkers are kick butt savers! The other half, you might be asking, will be used for those wedding trips, the office makeover, finish a fencing project hubby started...and maybe a couple other fun things.

Alright enough tooting our own horns. It's just so fun to think about & see happen right before your eyes...hard work, dedication & sacrifice DO pay off!
If you're getting a tax return, how are you using it?
