    Sorru, another tax refund ? Anyone filed their taxes 1/28 & when to expect refund ?

    I filed on 1/28 and it was accepted the same day. I was told it would be deposited 2/12, but I haven't checked since that day. I'm just going to assume it will show up sometime between now and the 12th :rotfl: EDIT: Just checked and it says I should expect it on 2/4!! lol

    Good interior paint that won't break the bank?

    I work at Home Depot. Behr is excellent! I love it, will never use anything else. And I used to work in Paint and "copyright" or not, we CAN match any color. I don't know the exact circumstances why they couldn't, though. We take the sample, place it in the matching machine and BAM. Or we can...

    Might buy a DVR

    I'm trying to sell my TiVo, so if the O.P. is interested, let me know (trying to get $80 for it). It's in perfect condition and I'm only getting rid of it because I just don't use it anymore. I don't really watch much television and most of what I miss I can watch on comcast on-demand or online...

    It's Friday...what budget friendly things are you doing this weekend?

    Working, haha! When I'm at work, I typically don't spend money, LoL! I've stopped carrying dollars and change to work because if I do, I blow it in the vending machines.

    Passport Card: http://travel.state.gov/passport/ppt_card/ppt_card_3926.html I'm going on a cruise in December (Carnival, not Disney) and I have no plans in the near future to fly out of the country, so with the passport card, you can use it at ports of call as long as you go back to the same...

    Craigslist / PayPal Help!

    She never said in her e-mail so I fired her back another one. I'm assuming by using paypal she wants me to mail it to her.

    Craigslist / PayPal Help!

    I'm trying to sell my ipod on Craigslist. I've had one good transaction (I've only ever sold one other thing) and I met up with the person at a neutral place, swapped money and product and was done. I got an offer for my ipod, but the person wants my paypal account e-mail so she can transfer...

    Yay for an extra paycheck in April!

    Mine comes in May! For once it WILL be extra money that's going right into savings. When I look at how I handle finances now compared to a year ago, oh boy, I was a mess! I've cut spending, I've started saving, I've lowered my debt ... it also helps I'm living rent free at the moment with a...

    Budget Tips that just aren't worth it?

    It's fine to have a budget. Going "out" or "splurging" isn't a bad thing. It's those of us who do it and ignore a budget or planning ... but to be fair, I can understand the "planning out meals" thing. For some people that could keep you on a budget. For a single person like myself, it could...

    Just got turned down for a CC

    With an over 700 credit score, I doubt you'll be denied a good place to live. I think creditors for realtors just look at history and not really your overall score. JMO, of course, but if they see you have a good history you're fine. Believe me, I rented a house with another guy and we're both...

    We did it- No cc use this month!!!!

    I don't really post on the budget board but I definitely lurk and have used the advice. As a single male, it doesn't always apply per say, but it's good learning for the future. I will say so far, I've gone the entire month without using a credit card, kind of. I did purchase a new touch...

    Wow! 2009 Disney Room Discounts!

    Wow! $49 a night for value? $99 for moderate? :thumbsup2 Too bad these rates weren't around in 2007 when I actually had the money to go on several quick trips a year! It does make me more likely to possibly book a quick one or two night stay though :banana: How about the rest of you?

    Windows Vista or XP?

    i've come to enjoy vista. it was a drastic difference from xp but i really enjoy it. sometimes there's a program that may or may not work right, but that's very rare and i've had no problems with vista in the time i've had it.

    What's Everyone Selling On Craigslist?

    I had my first experience a few weeks ago. Sold an old laptop for $50. I paid $150 for it on ebay. It worked fine, was just old and really slow. Sold it for $50 and met the guy at a neutral location, in a parking lot at an open store, and was done with it. i'm currently trying to sell an xbox...
