I guess that is a good way to look at it.

don't pay your taxes for a few years and it will come very soon.

Getting money back from the gov't is like giving them an interest free loan

except for the guys who get free money for not really working very hard.

MANY PEOPLE LIKE THE "forced savings account" method.

Of course that method makes no economic sense.

garyfan

There is an economic theory about that.

conetah

2/14/15 4:36pm

That's one explanation for it.

garyfan

2/14/15 4:47pm

One of the things people are figuring in economics

conetah

You aren't disciplined enough to set up an automatic savings account?

How do I know how much my refund will be before tax season?

conetah

2/14/15 5:33pm

You could always pray about it. Either that or use one of the many tax

workindev

2/14/15 5:46pm

Exactly. Which is why a lack of discipline isn't the reason people do it.

garyfan

Of course, most tax refunds aren't spent all that wisely either

workindev

also, many people voted for Obama.

And TurboTax is wanting to charge me 74 dollars when I thought I was in there

conetah

They're very good at doing that.
