TURBO TAX...

I love turbo tax...I was just trying it out last night...and somehow I got my taxes done! (???) I'm a little nervous that I did it wrong (don't know how I could do it wrong-it's really quit self explanatory..but anyways..) so we are going to print out what I did and take it with us when we go get our taxes done with the AARP. Kind of to compare and see how close or far off I am. A part of me just wants to file what I got just to be done with it because getting it done at the AARP means we have to wait in line..which is not fun with a 1 year old (almost one). I'm excited..this means we can pay off our credit card...AWAWHO!!!...and have money so that Mike can fix our stairs...(HAHAHAHAHA..just kidding Mike.) Matt wants a Wii..but I think we can spend our money a little wiser. (?) And GET THIS!!!! I got a letter in the mail from DUMB US Bank...I still have money there in a 401K. Apparently it was what they matched from what I put in...yeah, I don't know. It's not very much..but HEY...that means I can start my IRA all over again...again.
I'm a little sick to find out that since Matt's Dad is a 100% disabled vet...we could have been getting $900.00 PER MONTH. Of course...we are past the time frame that we could have gotten it...so we are appealing and hopefully they will let us get it. It's not a life long thing-you only get it for a while. I want to say 10 years...but that almost sounds too good.
Anyways..I've been trying to put some video on here..but for some reason it is having issues...so watch out when I get it fixed...cause it's going to be video EVERYTHING!...

Yea, we are using our tax return to pay off debt too. It's not that exciting, but at least you don't have that payment anymore.

What's this thing about the veteran? So Matt gets money for his dad being disabled?

Yeah...well..he was suppose to. He is past the age limit for it now..so we are appealing since we didn't know about it and hopefully they will let us get it.
