This is my plan for my tax refund. (Yes I know I'm not supposed to get a refund, yadda yadda).

Honestly, I would rather let the government earn a little interest off of my money and get a couple thousand back than deal with having to pay. It's not worth my time to tweak things just right so I'm on the cusp or only have to pay a little. I would rather just get a refund some years.SaveSave

This is the method we follow. MH tries to get it to as close as he can, but it's still a crap shoot some years.

It’s the Bitcoin isn’t it.

(I still have no idea what that is.)

I was just talking to someone this weekend about this.  In essence, bitcoin is a way for tech bros to a) get rich b) separate themselves FURTHER from the "have-nots" and c) feel smug about it.  

Bitcoin and it's ilk are privilege in action.

Well, that makes more sense than any other explanation I've heard.
