wow

so i came online to transfer some money from our normal bank account to our high-interest-online-savings-account, and pay hubby's phone bill.

phone bill paid, although im still not sure why its $8 higher than it should be. oh well, whatever.

then on to the bank.

hmm.

theres far too much money there.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!!! TAXES!!!!!!

since i dont work, and hubby's income is below the upper threshold for the family tax benefit, i get A LOT of taxes back, despite having paid NONE. so while hubby owes the government some money this year, its ok, because they just gave me about 7 times what he owes.

im still not sure WHY the government pays me back taxes that i havent paid to begin with.... but im not going to complain about it. just tell myself i get paid once a year to raise my son.

I wish that happened to me! We do get a tax refund for my daughter, but it's not even close to what we paid in medical bills to have her! Maybe we should move to Australia.... :D
