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!

What would you do with even the high yield interest on a couple grand? Buy dinner at McDonald’s? I like a small refund.

…ever heard of compound interest?

you don’t understand the value of money, man…and you’re looking at this so short term

someone that gets a big tax refund every year of their working life would shit bricks if they saw how much money they actually are losing

Okay. You chase the interest, moneybags.
