I don't know any movie stars, I'm nowhere near water, the weather is fine, I'm not playing poker, I'm not in a plane, I don't see any vending machines. I do have some lotto tickets tho.

If I put my money toward businesses, I'm "investing."

Look, you pick guys who wear suits to make money for you.

I pick guys who wear uniforms to make money for me.

We the same.

You right we is the same.

I am offering you an investment opportunity.

You can buy shares for just $2 each.

There is a 99.9% chance that you will get nothing in return.

Are you interested?

Nah you never said what the returns are so for all I know I give you $2 and my returns are 25 cents on the dollar no thanks.

I just filed mine last week and I'm curious about something- does anyone in states with personal income tax ever get much of a refund on the state level? Pennsylvania is notoriously stingy and whatever little refund I might get in a good year gets mostly or completely eaten up by the e-file fee. This year I ended up owing PA $18 so I mailed my return in.

Anyone scoring a decent refund from their respective state?

It's easy to use this article's headline as an invitation to take a cheap shot at that cohort but it really is a multi-faceted issue that goes beyond just one generation group. The economy keeps changing and it seems the public's understanding of the economy moves at a slower pace than the reality of the economy.

"The average account balance is $67,891, according to the report." This is not the reality I know, I've never even come close to having that much money. I don't even know how.
