I came here earlier in the year asking for help understanding how to calculate Cost Basis (other websites were incorrect / unhelpful) in preparation for this year's taxes. Well, along the way I discovered that not only had I been calculating my Cost Basis wrong, but in doing so I overpaid taxes for the past 3 years to the tune of $25k! (Man, it hurt SO much to have to pay it back then...)
So then I come back here again and read up on how to file an Amended Tax return, and BOOM we got it all back! (flingingdollars.gif)
So now we have various financial buckets to put our funds in (emergency savings, long term savings, college, car / house / kids / travel / gift funds) and that extra money isn't getting frittered away, it's all going into safe storage for the future.
Thanks a ton, everyone here. Ya'll are some nice people.
