Tax time


Well it is that time of year again. I just did my taxes and found out that this year I get some money back. Immediately, I thought of what kind of gear I could buy. It got me to thinking. Is this how most audiophiles think? Me? Well I am either going to up grade my CDP or upgrade my turntable (am old dual).

By the way, for you married folks do you simply go and make the purchase or do you have to sneak it past your partner

Damn tax time!! no matter how hard i work or how much i make, old uncle sam gets more than i feel he's entitled to. my wife think me spend too much time and too much hard-earned money on the stuff, but just give me a few bucks and a little more time and i'll find a way to rationalize that the money is well spent. that new amp is certainly better than the one i just "gave" away and i know that the old cd player doesn't sound as good as the one i just bought. i know uncle sam would really enjoy that new preamp he bought for me, but what the hell, i've provided him and his with more over the years, haven't i? have you ever heard anyone say that they don't feel that they have contributed enough to the cause? just think what kind of system you and i might have been able to build and enjoy over the years if they hadn't pissed our money away on those $250.00 hammers and $25,000 toilets! god bless america!!!
I already spent my refund for this year. I used it to purchase a used pair of B&W 802 Series III's. Thanks Uncle Sam. I don't have the wife problem to deal with. If I could find the right girl I'd be happy to "negotiate" but so far no luck. I guess in a way being single has its plusses.
Refund? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
Taxes? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
What was the question?
I was not planning on a refund but somehow ended up with a $3000 unexpected one. The same morning I filed my return, I logged on Audiogon and so far have spent $2400 of it. I have not yet received a penny. I too, like another poster, vowed to reduce DEBT with this unexpected bonus. Well, maybe I will put the remaining $600 towards my credit cards. I am not married but have a significant other who thinks I am insane but does not yell about my purchases--instead, she enjoys them and thinks the new remotes are cool. I know I have a problem, but love these forums (fora?) where I see every day I AM NOT ALONE.
