The deadline approaches for U.S. citizens to file their tax paperwork. If you're getting a refund, how much (in percentage) do you plan to spend on the hobby? |
| Titchmonster | 10 Apr 2017 11:15 p.m. PST |
10% which is the deal I have with my wife. |
| Coyotepunc and Hatshepsuut | 11 Apr 2017 12:03 a.m. PST |
All of ot. Every last cent of the $0.00 USD I am getting. |

No refund for me this year. :( |
 Dentatus  | 11 Apr 2017 3:57 a.m. PST |
Refund? What is this 'refund' you speak of? |
| robert piepenbrink | 11 Apr 2017 3:57 a.m. PST |
No refund. And given the backlog of unpainted castings, no need for one. |
| Rrobbyrobot | 11 Apr 2017 4:39 a.m. PST |
As much as I can get away with. I like to think of it as doing my bit for the US economy… |
| wminsing | 11 Apr 2017 4:47 a.m. PST |
All going for medical bills I'm afraid, what there is of it. -Will |

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH ! As if…. |
| wolvermonkey | 11 Apr 2017 5:18 a.m. PST |
About 25%. It helps pay for my Origins vacation and a bit of online shopping. |
| jfleisher | 11 Apr 2017 5:30 a.m. PST |
Ended up owing $1,500 USD this year, my deductions all grew up and moved out… |

Haven't seen a refund for years |
| Old Wolfman | 11 Apr 2017 6:52 a.m. PST |
Split the refund check with the missus,and spent part of it on some FoW/Team Yankee stuff. Shelled out $100 USD plus to the state. Rest on normal expenses. |
| GatorDave | 11 Apr 2017 6:52 a.m. PST |
I'm planning on 25%. Have to convince the admiral first! |
| Garand | 11 Apr 2017 6:57 a.m. PST |
I already have mine. I don't do set percentages, but I did spend $100 USD right off the bat to make at an "even" number. Then I started the process of paying off bills that have been accumulating. Oh that and an emergency washing machine purchase… :( To be fair I got one on sale: originally $700 USD, but I got it for $500 USD not including installation fees, new tubes & haul away fee for the old one (and the new one is sooo hi-tech! No analogue dials here!). Still have my county & local taxes to pay coming up at the end of May… Damon. |
| kallman | 11 Apr 2017 7:17 a.m. PST |
What refund? Sending Uncle Sam money not getting any back. |
| jdpintex | 11 Apr 2017 7:39 a.m. PST |
0%, but I did get a new car so I'm still ahead. I did spend a slice of my bonus for a big order from Warlord Games. |
| nnascati | 11 Apr 2017 8:42 a.m. PST |
None, tax refund is house money, not hobby money. |
| dsfrank | 11 Apr 2017 8:52 a.m. PST |
over the course of the year – much more than any IRS refund I've ever gotten – like every year – but I never go out of my way to spend when the refund hits just because it is there – so I may not actually be answering the question asked. |
 Extra Crispy | 11 Apr 2017 9:18 a.m. PST |
Refund? REFUND? BWA-HA-HA-HA-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!!! Mailing out my checks today….. |
| Shark Six Three Zero | 11 Apr 2017 9:22 a.m. PST |
I owe money, the question now becomes how much will I have to spend on the hobby after the tax bill goes out? Probably nothing until July. |
| wrgmr1 | 11 Apr 2017 9:23 a.m. PST |
Seeing my accountant today to see how much I owe the CRA. |

We own a business there will be no refund…. |
 miniMo | 11 Apr 2017 12:10 p.m. PST |
We'll just call this: covering expenses incurred to date. |
| vtsaogames | 11 Apr 2017 12:11 p.m. PST |
All $35 USD went on wine, women and song. Actually, beer, one woman (wife) and the recorded music our local Austrian bistro was playing. |
 Parzival | 11 Apr 2017 12:42 p.m. PST |
Refund? You mean the zero-interest twelve-month loan I gave the government last year that it's condescending to return to its rightful owner? That refund? I'll see what the CPA says, but if any does come back to us, it will go towards the used car we're looking for to replace our totaled one. |
| mckrok | 11 Apr 2017 1:24 p.m. PST |
Not worth fighting over with the wife. |

| BTCTerrainman | 11 Apr 2017 4:17 p.m. PST |
I have not finished my taxes yet………. Likely none as I have not received a refund in years, and am paying kid's college tuition….. |
| Jeigheff | 11 Apr 2017 4:59 p.m. PST |
None. It has already been used to pay bills. |
| 21eRegt | 12 Apr 2017 10:48 a.m. PST |
Not a penny. Too many medical bills not covered by Obamacare to pay. |
| Early morning writer | 12 Apr 2017 1:49 p.m. PST |
My what? What is this you speak of? A refund? How does one get such a thing? I jest. We pay, we pay, we pay. Too little to itemize anymore – though do need to adjust our deductibles. |
| Rudysnelson | 12 Apr 2017 3:46 p.m. PST |
Since I am collecting social security early at 62, I no longer get a refund. The payments made me have to pay more this year. |
| 14th NJ Vol | 12 Apr 2017 5:14 p.m. PST |
None, wife spent the pittance already. |
 piper909 | 12 Apr 2017 11:27 p.m. PST |
Alas, one of the cars claimed all that money last month (before it even got here), thank you timing belt and AC repair! |

| Grelber | 13 Apr 2017 8:53 p.m. PST |
The refund goes for a new furnace for the house. I did award myself $10 USD for having done the income tax. Grelber |
