+Team GPSaxophone Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 This thread just didn't quite make the crucial "relation to geocaching" link, so I'll start it over. Assuming you are getting a tax return this year, how is it going to help further your geocaching career? (uh, hobby?) I'm expecting $1000 this year (Federal and State). Of that, several hundred will be going to pay for my cache event. I'm bringing together cachers from several states to further the cause of geocaching in the area. Quote Link to comment
+rusty_tlc Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 If I get a return, and if it pays off a few bills, I won't need an extra job. No second job more spare time to geocache. Quote Link to comment

I haven't started a Father's Day thread yet She has a habit of buying my presents early, then letting me talk her into giving them to me early as well... With careful planning, I shouldn't have to wait until June... Quote Link to comment
+mihiker Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 1. I will be able to buy cooler geoswag for swaping, instead of my usual lame items. 2. Premium Membership 3. TB's (I have quite a few but no tags yet!) Quote Link to comment
+Johnnie Stalkers Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 First and foremost I must tune out the responsible part of my brain that says "put it in savings." Then I can have some fun with it. My ever evolving day dream lists of Tax Return Cache Items: Garmin 60cs. This thing is SWEET! Even Ani was impressed with it. Kayak. For those evasive SW Ohio H2O caches. Honda Shadow. For those evasive SW Ohio paved caches. GeoPack. All new gear. Range finder. No idea how this would help but they are cool. And if the check was big enough (which it never is)? Take a month off, spend 30 days with Ani in an RV hitting atleast 1 cache in each state in the lower 48. Quote Link to comment
+Team HomestarRunner Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 As soon as I got my return I purchased a new 60c (oh yes, it ROCKS!), CitySelect software ('cause I'm lazy), a Dell Axim3 (for paperless), various accessories for the PPC(256 meg chip, aluminum case, & car adapter), and ALOT of coffee(So I can figure out how to get it all to work!!) Then I buried the rest in a coffee can in the backyard......Maybe I'll make a cache out of it?? Quote Link to comment
+carleenp Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 My refund will mostly be used to pay for several caching trips that I plan to take this year, including going to Saxman's event. Quote Link to comment

Hogarth Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 What I would like to use the refund for and what I get to use the refund for are totally opposite.I will Probably end up paying some more of the old stundent loansharks off.. Quote Link to comment
+Jamie Z Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 I should be getting back a few hundred--the few hundred that I loaned them--thanks to my status as a student. This will help me purchase a reliable vehicle in which I might geocache more often. I've not been out on a hunt in a while because my current transportation isn't fit for caching. Of course... when it warms up, I can just take my bike. Jamie Quote Link to comment

+KernBob Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Oh Boo Hoo, no refund here, I'm paying this year. I like that I have my $$ for the year instead of loaning it for no interest. Quote Link to comment

+Sparky-Watts Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Having not filed taxes for the past 20 years, and after receiving a rather official looking letter with the word "audit" in it, I'll be spending much, much more time out in the woods caching. Ummm.....just a suggestion: could some of you start leaving warm clothes and food in your caches? Please? Quote Link to comment

+beckerbuns Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Nurse Dave and I are contemplating buying me a new GPSr. I've been caching with ol' yellow for well over a year now and I think it's time to upgrade to a Legend. Woo hoo! Of course, this is with my '02 refund (I was three years behind until recently). I have yet to file for '03 (but I will, I promise). Quote Link to comment

That's a cheap car, JZ. Quote Link to comment
+Brian - Team A.I. Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 (edited) Mine will probably leave nothing for caching activities. But it's times like now with the gas prices making another spike that I wish I had my 2001 return again and I'd dive in for the motorcycle I've been itching to buy for my to/from work driving. $160/month in gas just going to/from work sucks. Of course, with a new Garmin handlebar mount, the bike would be my new urban cache-mobile. Edited February 13, 2004 by Brian - Team A.I. Quote Link to comment
