My dad is self employed and my mom is unemployed. My dad never budgets for his taxes, ever, so he ends up getting a huge tax bill every year and putting it on payment plans... With the interest rates on that and penalties, that's always a bad thing.

I cut as close to $0 at tax time as possible and make it a point to owe a couple hundred. I'd rather my money be working so I can be comfortable down the road. Once I get hired full time from my current contract-to-hire gig, I've calculated 25% of my income will go straight into a 401K along with my $5,500 IRA contributions. Once I hit 55, I'll pour even more into my IRA for the catch-up contributions.
Had I been wiser in my younger years, I would never have dumped money into the VW hobby but socked it all into my IRA and could have been eying semi-retirement at 50. Screw working full time.

Imagine what your financial situation would look like if that money (10,000/12 = $833) was invested in a long term Growth/Mutual fund retirement account. The annual cap for those under 55 is $5,500, but even maxing out a 401K at $18,000 is quite a yield come retirement time.

Doesn't look like a quad cab to me. Looks like a standard extended cab. If it was a quad it'd have 4 doors. Extended only has two. I'm not aware of dodge only having three on the 2nd gens as I've never seen it.
