My check is $160 larger, every two weeks.

Not bad.

If anybody thinks that their tax break is bad, I'd like to know why?

Starting a new job soon, so I'll not REALLY see the benefits directly (IOW, seeing an old paycheck compared to a new one), but knowing I would be jumping a tax bracket in the old system but not now is VERY nice.

$120/paycheck (every 2 weeks), about $3k net for the year.

One thing I've seen is the job offerings in my field have definitely gone up. That's always a good sign for higher pay.

Huge for me. Not only because I get a break but because my clients do and are now buying more from me. I'm up bigly seven weeks in year to year.

The restaurant business must be thrilled. Also vacation destinations or any industry effected by disposable income choices.

Between my raise and the tax cut mine is $140 higher per paycheck (would be higher but I'm putting a ton in my 401 which is taking a fricking pounding right now)

Oh - shite - I forgot I still have 2 jobs AND I'm getting a decent raise in May - so the cut will impact both of those significantly, too.

Yes. $55-$97 a week.

I just purchased a used truck because of it and when tax return comes in I hope to pay off my student loan with it and get a small camper to pull with the new truck to spend time with the family.

I would not have bought a pickup without it as I was dumping everything in my student loan that I could.

More family time is a bonus for sure

Extra $680.00 per month for me and my wife. A lot more than “crumbs” to most people.

Spending time with the family and stimulating the economy simultaneously. That's winning!

Unfortunately, mine hasn't showed up yet. My company is slow as shite to do things.

I Get paid twice per month, hopefully it'll be there in next week's check.
