I’ve examined my expenses over the past month, and next month I’m ready to start cutting things to save money! Here’s a list of what I plan to do so far – you tell me what you’d add! : ride my bike to work on nice days; buy groceries in bulk, use some coupons, buy less/cheaper meat or other high protein foods instead of meat; switch to CFL bulbs, turn lights out when not in rooms, turn heat down or a/c off when not home; ditch my parking pass next to work, and park in free lot further away; use fewer cellphone minutes/plan; make errands more gas-effecient by doing everything in one trip when possible; driving the speed limit and not accelerating too fast, thus saving some gas; limit alcohol purchases (those weekend bar trips with friends add up!); buy used items or clothes when necessary, but limit purchases in general except when items are absolutely essential. AND just so this doesn’t sound boring – plan one or two specific, cheap “fun” things for the month and budget for those.

For instance.. without claiming it, if someone were to get $300 back would it increase that amount to claim the childcare expenses? Or would it only benefit a person who was going to owe taxes?
I hope that makes sense..
Thanks.

I paid a lot in taxes this year on scholarships and grants I received. This is my income and I spend a great deal of it on college expenses. If I were to file an ammendment/correction to my 2007 taxes, can I deduct my school expenses from my income. They weren’t my parent’s expenses.
