What's a "return?"



If you're getting money back that's actually a bad thing. Claim as much as possible and invest like a mad man.

That "return" is wasted income that could have, in the right hands, yielded interest.

Well SOME of us have zero deductions on low pay, and a bunch of children. That situation means you get a big fat "return" (be sure to thank people who actually pay taxes).



My "return" will at least in part be going to pay the fine for not having any of my children on obamacare-approved insurance. Oh here, let me just put all my family's personal information on a website where the code says not to expect any privacy, and where data security wasn't an afterthought, it wasn't thought of at ALL. Sure I'll be riiiight on that.

For the past 4 years, I have put my tax return into my 401K. I know it's not the greatest or fun thing to do with it but I have a nice chunk of money in it now along with my bi-weekly contributions. My idea is to try and do it for the next 10-15 years in hopes that I'll have a few million when I retire.

Bottom job on boat and fix the trailer so I can sell it and get a bigger boat. Ugh, white people problems.
