Tax return time is when I buy the big stuff each year.  Last year, I bought two computers.  One died, and the other is already on its last legs.  Not good.  But I likely won't be able to replace it with the tax return...

Have to buy a refrigerator, a stove, a washer and dryer, a car, and I promised to take my son to Vegas to see his bio dad...

And anything left needs to go into savings towards monthly bills...

It's kind of depressing.
