Welcome to our forum.
My tub (which hopefully is somewhere en route to MA!) is putting me out over $4.5K. (Taxes, lifter, steps, extra filter, and upgrade to my exisitng pad area.)
Ok, Drewstar, let me get this straight. Last year you won a go-cart at BJ'sThis year you won a Caldera Geneva Spa.I am beginning to think you have the magic red sweater or something.
My dad aways tells me the story of a friend of his who went on the old game show "Concentration" (and won a lot of great prizes (Fur coats, TV, appliances, etc, but no cash). He declined half the stuff because he didn't want the taxes. A free fur coats sounds nice, but if you need to give the Goverment $6000, it hurts. Sure, it's worth $20K but if you don't have that kind of money, you can get yourself into trouble.
