The check's in the mail...

[Red Hot Sloth]

Hey bighit, I know your pain..literally.
I too have been in that boat for the last 10 years. I have deliberated this ad infinitum with friends, associates and family. I was paying $1200 a month child support, healthcare insurance and all other medical costs which are steep as my eldest is type 1 diabetic. Oh..and by the way, my custody arraingements were 50/50...I paid it on time since day one, never missed or late since the order was put into place. Yet the court systems treat me like I did something wrong...
I feel your pain bro...

Onto the regularly scheduled program...
I'm spending some, and saving some,
mean people suck
violance breeds violance,
violant people should not breed...
I don't hate

[allison]

Either way, in some form it's going toward the 'Box.

So the message I get from this move by our fearless leaders is that personal saving and paying down debt is bad; Deficit spending on more disposables is good.

I'm gonna throw them for a loop and invest mine in foreign currency! Or I'll keep saving toward a home purchase. So take that!

[Jman]

I figure screw it! I like being irresponsible....it's good for the blood pressure and I just don't take life that serious! Why pay today when you can pay tomorrow.......and ride around on a sweet looking bike!

That's what they did last time. I sure hope they don't do it again. Half the time we would ask our clients if they received the refund and they weren't sure.

Nice... I always set up my taxes so I send them money rather than they send me money. Not sure if its the smart thing to do but it makes me feel like my money is working for me. I usually owe a small amount. I would hate for next year I owe the usual and the "stimulus" money as well.

I'd get one if I could afford it. I think even wholesale the frame is more than twice what the Canzo was. But it is like .8lbs lighter!

However, I am *loving* the Rock Shox MC3.3 shock.

But, I think Justin's life will change with his lunchbox

I've got less than 20 miles on it; one XC race, and a really short ride in the rain. I guess I screwed up the front derailleur in a temper tantrum. Sucks to be me. I'd like to get in a decent ride on it to see how it is, but that won't happen for like another 2 months So far so good. I'm racing it again this weekend.

[bighit8]

That and you have to pay taxes first.

Don't worry about that. The feds will hold the bill till you get older. They might add a little bit of interest to it though.
