I just filed our taxes, and we are getting a nice refund!!! Don’t you just love that extra money in the first part of the year!?! Hopefully you can pay off your Christmas shopping with it. 🙂
Speaking of Christmas, let me just say something to the libertarians and conservatives that love to dash this season of actually getting something back from the government. Stop telling us that we aren’t getting anything back! Stop telling us that a refund is not a bonus!
Spouting these facts is just like telling a four year old that there is no Santa Claus. Why do you feel the need to remove the joy of a tax refund? Does it really make you feel better? Does it make you feel superior to tell everyone what they already know?
Tax refunds are great! It is money that you didn’t budget for…hopefully. It can be used to pay off debt, take a vacation, buy a new gadget, or you can get that bottle service at your favorite club.
To all those that are saying but, but, but, but…. Yes, we all know that it is money that we have earned throughout the year. Yes, we all know that the government isn’t giving us anything.
Guess what though, all of that doesn’t change the fact that we get to see a nice chunk of change coming into our bank accounts that we can have some fun with, and it allows the poorer among us to sleep a little bit better. So just stop your dream and joy busting, and allow people to enjoy the little things in life.
(I know that many of you libertarians and conservatives love those memes that say that you’re a genius, if you can solve it in a certain amount of time, so in the same vein of stating unimportant truths. Those are fake, and it doesn’t show anything about how intelligent you are!)
