    Not for me, at least not this year. We are finally moving, getting a new washer and dryer, and my kids are graduating from toddler beds to bunk beds (they are so excited too). Then the rest is being saved for hospital bills.

    Can't really do much but save. We have a $30,000 debt right now because some jerk rear ended my husband going almost 50 MPH. We had just bought a new car and it was only 2 month old. Yeah it sucks, still dealing with attorney's and insurance companies, almost 2 1/2 years later. So long story short we have to pay off bills here and there until things get settled.

    Exactly what I had in mind... I'm already eyeing a beautiful little female spider from a reputable breeder! I can't release any more info... because I want her and no one else can have her lol! You promised to split half the tax return! I promised my girl a BUMBLE BEE! I think a lemon pastel and this GORGEOUS female spider I'm looking at will make some very delectible(sp) bees...

    My moms already said I can buy a baby rack from Herpenclosures.com. Hopefully I can also get a few more breeder females (locally) and possible a het of some sort from Adam.

    Re: Does tax return = more snakes?
    Somewhat off topic, and somewhat on topic - I don't know how many of you know about the FairTax, or anything about it, but I support HR25 - The FairTax Act of 2007 and hope that it will pass and be put into effect. Federal taxation was "supposed" to be temporary.

    http://www.fairtax.org/

    The beauty of it is, that EVERYONE will pay a retail tax - illegals, drug dealers, etc, everyone.

    If you're more interested in it, Neil Boortz and John Linder co-authored a book about it The FairTax Book - Say Goodbye to the Income Tax and The IRS. Heck, I'll even send my copy out on loan to anyone interested!

    It won't for me. We'll see how much I end up getting back. I may end up buying an incubator or some more caging or something else herp related.

    I really prefer not to give the government a free loan, if I get money back it's through some nice deductions.

    Very interesting link, Robin. Sounds like a very good idea to me!

    Back on topic.. my tax returns have been very small thus far, so I doubt I could get anything with it, but it could help fund my final snake purchase.. most likely a female cinnamon ball.
