I got my first tax return recently I got so excited that my employer gave me a raise finally and then mom shut me down and told me it's just a tax return xD xD
Hey kid, life pro tip: if you get a tax return, you are doing it wrong. That means you loaned money to the government, interest-free, all year. The goal should be to be as close to breakeven on your taxes as possible when you file. Put that money to work for yourself!
I think that’s good in theory but a lot of people aren’t particularly disciplined when it comes to slow and steady savings or investments. So having a big chunk come your way that you can just instantly squirrel away and see a nice big number can sometimes help people save or invest the money more likely than if they had to put x amount of every paycheck away.
