Today my other w2 came in and so I sat down to the usual mess of doing taxes. I've yet to ever break the "holy shit you're poor" barrier, so I figured I'd be getting some money in, about a hundred or so, nothing big. It's enough for say, food.
So when I sat down with my piddly paychecks (for those of you keeping track, I made all of 300$ at my special needs house, and 6k at target. Sure I worked for target for 7 months and the special needs home for about three or four months, but it still says something)it turns out that I'm instead getting back 400. Even if I split half of that with my mom, it's still enough to go out and get a few belated holiday/birthday gifts, which just makes me feel happy in that soft squishy part of my feelings.
But! what came up also was one of the "you're under 12,000$ in income" credits for my taxes, thinking I might as well give it a shot, according to the program I qualified, and added on a tax credit worth an additional 400 or so. At that exact moment after I filed the thing I had but one thought on my mind.
What the hell am I going to do with all of that?! I mean no, I can't afford anything really big, but after buying persona 4 and a few things and giving some away, I'm still at like, 600$. Okay, there's a good chance I'll upgrade my monitor or get part of my dental work done, but still, holy shit guys.
Guys it feels weird to have this paper stuff.
(PS IRS, please don't let this be a joke)
