I don't know if this is really seeking advice, more of a vent I suppose.
We filed our taxes about a week ago.

I personally think everyone is different when it comes to their withholding status. I like to leave mine single 0 so that they take out as much as possible. That's just ME.
You and your DH do whats best for your family. My DH doesn't do bills either and never thinks we save/have enough but I told him to go ahead and attempt to pay bills and save money and he will see how tricky it all is. He is criticizing something he doesn't know. You are doing a great job. Keep at it!
I have mine at 0. Yes it hurts during the year, but if I have it I'll spend it. I love getting a big refund back, it makes me feel good to pay off my target cc card each year, and then I take a $100 dollars of it out to spend and the rest goes into my ING account.
Well, like I have nothing better to do with my times.
Why would you give the government you money to hold, interest free?
Hi there,
I just wanted to let you know that Carmen Wong Ulrich from CNBC has answered your question in her latest iVillage Video.
I hope this helps answer your question.

I'm big on the not letting the government borrow my money thing, so I would vote not to change.
You could also tell your dh that beginning April 1, withholdings will go down, per the stimulus bill, and on avg will result in an additional $20 per week in your pay check. That would probably be the equivalent of any change you would see from changing your wittholdings.
HTH!
