I was so excited that I would be getting a tax return this year.
I have literally never gotten a tax return before.
I am self-employed, and I have been self-employed ever since I began working when I turned 18. If you have ever been self-employed before, then you understand that the tax season is not good for you. I have had to owe ever year on taxes, but after having a kid this year, I found out that I was getting a large tax return! Well, I was going to get a large tax return until my central air conditioner stopped working. The temperatures were just beginning to warm up, and I tried to turn on the central air conditioner before my house started heating up. The air conditioner did turn on, but the only thing that the HVAC unit would do is blow warm air. I decided to call the HVAC company, and the HVAC technician that they sent to my house told me that the HVAC unit would need to be replaced. I asked them how much the new central air conditioner would cost, and they gave me the price. The new central air conditioner would cost the exact amount of the tax return that I was expected. I was so mad because I wanted to spend my tax money on something else besides a central air conditioner. However, it could have been worse. I could have owed money on taxes and also needed a central air conditioner. If that would have happened, then there would be no way that I could afford a new central air conditioner.
