Mustachian wisdom on NPR's Marketplace
« on: February 10, 2015, 08:49:45 PM »
I love listening to Marketplace -- it is an incredibly informative radio program, managing to both educate listeners about the economy and economics, while being interesting to listen to and current. 

Listening to yesterday's show, I got a chuckle out of Kai Ryssdal's final note:  http://www.marketplace.org/topics/economy/final-note/average-tax-refund-so-far-year-about-3500

Quote
The Internal Revenue Service said Friday that the average refund so far this year is running at $3,539.

So two things:  First, who's got their taxes done already? Because, cut it out! You're making the rest of us look bad.

And secondly, you know that when you get a refund you've basically given the government an interest-free loan, right?

Right?

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
