In the spirit of tax season I hope you find a little humor in this week's nugget:
Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a refund from the IRS, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with. ~From a Washington Post word contest
Awesome! I always wonder why people are so happy about tax refunds, I tell them to change their withholding and they look at me like I'm from another planet!
All: I too thought it was very funny, and sad at the same time. I know many people who think that a tax refund is some kind of bonus; it's like they don't get the connection.
Shtinkykat: I heard about that in the media. Is it definite? Not that I ever expected something like this to happen, but this is just one more reason why we should not give the government these interest free loans.
Miss M: I'm with you 100%. Some people definitely look at you like you've fallen off of the banana boat when you tell them that a tax refund is not necessarily a good thing. They see the refund as some sort of bonus from Uncle Sam.
Who is Ms. MoneyChat? I'm an individual who strongly desires to see everyone walk in the fullness of who they were created to be. Debt and a lack of financial education continue to rob many of their hopes, dreams and aspirations. I've been around the debt block several times and finally made the right turn to travel down a different path—a path that leads to financial freedom. This blog is where you and I will chat about all things money. As you follow along with me you will learn more about my experiences and lessons learned. Although I hope to edutain (educate and entertain), please understand that any general information that you apply to your specific situation should be done so after you have obtained additional details and/or professional assistance.
