There a number of articles I’ve read today that I wanted to comment on. Some were well written and researched, others, not so much. Let’s dive in.

Crap, we’re getting a tax return

Not that we won’t use the money wisely, but we sure didn’t expect to get any money back this time. We made adjustments in our W2’s to compensate for the tax return the previous year, and thought we were more than likely going to have to pay in. Well, our accountant called us to let us know that 1) we forgot to include our student loan information, and 2) even without the student loan information, we were getting around $800 back. I guess I shouldn’t complain. And, this doesn’t even include that wonderful rebate either.

Finally, someone else is saying it

I’ve been saying for a number of months now, how the U.S. recession is in fact not a recession. I came across this article while surfing Fox News today and I wanted to share.
