Learned about this a long time ago and have generally either owed or gotten back less than $50 each year. This year I got back $15, I just can't decide if I should buy a new car or go on a South American vacation with all that sweet, sweet tax money.

I don't mind giving the government some extra money to hold for me. In my experience, people (including me) will spend what they have. If my paycheck goes up, I'll unconsciously adjust my spending to spend more to make up for it. If I get a refund, it's money I wasn't expecting to have so I can use it for something…

Wait, peeps are disgusting, so why would I want more of them?

While this is of course true, a lot of assumptions were made in this video. "You could have been investing in the stock market and making money" -OR- you could have lost ALL OF IT in the stock market. "You could have been accruing interest in a savings account." -OR- you would have spent it as part of your normal…

No offense, but I feel like this might've represented much better advice back when banks themselves actually paid interest on saving accounts. I know many people (myself included) which used to semi-foolishly look at a large income tax refund each year as a "forced savings"—mostly because I was poor at managing my…

Getting some back is better than owing. I have to pay $800 this year because my wife's employer forgot to take taxes out for 3 months. OOPS! SORRY! Granted, we should have been watching the check stubs like a hawk.

If your ex is on trial for murdering the woman he left you for, you're not scorned so much as incredibly lucky.

Agreed.

I want to agree with you, but the wedding I'm paying more than I can afford to stand up in next month won't let me.

I tried looking for a manly photo to prove you wrong, but this came up instead.

I thought that was the point of the comments.

The popped collar(s)... the layering of polos... THE FEDORA...oh dear lord.

But if you don't look both ways before crossing the street, and I hit you with my car, IT IS STILL MY FAULT. Whether or not it could have been avoided by you taking other precautions is more or less irrelevant since I HIT YOU WITH MY CAR.

I am neither engaged nor seeking diet and exercise advice.

HOW is the slogan for this food not "Eat a Box of Dicks!"??? They really missed an opportunity.

A facebook friend posted a status about how much fun she was having cake-sampling. Without fail, the first comment was "I hope you're spitting those samples back out, missy! Your wedding is only five months away!"

14 is 35 in Belgian school children years.

Great point. Clearly she has no concern for women of lower socioeconomic status who's primary concern is job stability and providing for their children without a father in the picture. She lives in a bubble and I would be more than happy to pop the fuck out of it.

You're an honest person? You're honestly a piece of shit. Your advice is garbage and really, you're just projecting feelings about yourself towards others. You've convinced yourself that this advice would have been helpful to you in your youth because you got divorced to someone who you probably thought you would…

What Gawker commentary now looks like.
