Why....just, WHY???

 Why do you feel the need to make an itemized list of what you do with your tax refund and then share it with total strangers on the internet?

I dont understand the need to do this...Do you really need the approval of complete strangers to be able to spend our money the way we think is best?  Or are you just a masochist?

I think it's tacky to discuss finances like that, taxes or not. :::shrugs:::

I don't. But, you have to remember that we all come from different walks of life...for some people they get a really large check and it's very exciting for them. so they share.

I don't get that either. If I see the title indicate the post is going to be that, I don't open it. If I end up opening one that slides under the radar, I just leave it. Newsflash: To those people- No one cares what you do with the money!

I think some people just feel the need to brag -- about the size of the refund, and how they blow it.

Personally, I think it's stupid & immature.   IF we're lucky enough to get anything back, ours will go to pad our stock portfolio for our retirement.   :)

 I understand that...lol, ours is gonna be humongous....but i'm not enough of a masochist to post an itemized list of where each dollar is going....nor am I comfortable sharing that much financial information.
