by the way- good thing when you get a house- the interest

is tax deductable, so you get a nice tax return at the end

of the year

 

i always claim.. what is it 1 or 0 ? whichever one gets you more back at the end of the year.. i know they take more out, but its kinda like a nice savings account.



working part time all last year, i got back 700 bucks, which is nice for someone on a tight budget in college

 

its much better to have them take a bit more out and

get back then to pay at the end of the year.



I got a nice $3400 return this year, spent it on concrete work

for the yard and basement though

 

nice thing though is that you are able to increase the value of your property, and in the long run, make more off of your primary investment

 

I disagree... if planned correctly, that is.

I'd rather not give the government extra money of mine. That's money I can use on groceries, and they're not gonna pay me any interest. As long as I have my funds in order the beginning of the year, I'd much rather pay too little and owe them.

 

either way, you end up with about the same amount... not including inflation and other factors.. to me, its worth it to have that extra amount at the beginning of the year.

 

if thats what you want to do, but take my gf for example, she

had to pay like $350, it sucks to mail that money in for what seems

like nothing. Broken down over a year though it would have only been

like $6.73 per paycheck

 

i don't know if you misunderstood, but i would prefer to have the gov't take more out now than later, so i get it back at the end of the year..



sorry if it wasn't clear

 

i'm pretty sure he was talking about sinful7's reply.
