This is what the OPs husband spent it on
I live in Texas (no state tax), have 2 kids, and make about 40k a year. I don't claim any exceptions for payroll taxes so my tax returns are usually 10-12k after the earned income credit.
Why wouldn’t you adjust your withholding rate ?
Because I prefer to get a lump sum of money once per year than extra income each month. I take that money and I put half into an emergency fund and the other half goes into an account for my kids that I use to pay for summer camp, field trips, extra curriculars, Christmas & bday presents, etc.
Why yes waiting a year to get 25% of my income makes sense.
By not planning properly. They are making mistakes all over the financial board most likely
