Tax season is upon us

Every year this time I did my best to avoid touching my computer at all even though I know I was going to get money back from the Federal and the State. I know it is stupid idea to lend your money to the government without charging them any interest. I guess it is just human nature or the human inertia.

But this year things are changing for better. Wife finally took interest in finance, and got her insurance agent license and is on the way getting other required certificate. So she offered to do the tax this year. What a relief! So she is pushing me to give her all the documentation and work with her to download the software, importing last year's data, reviewing W2 etc. It is so much better than doing tax just on your own.

If you haven't done your tax yet, and you did the tax by yourself in the past, may I suggest you to make a change to do the tax return with your significant other?

spend your return wisely.

I am reading "The Big Short" this week. I work in financial industry,  and I have discussed the financial crisis with friends many times. But the sheer stupidity -- or it could be just the greed blinded them -- of big firms and big executives of these firms still shocked me again.

Stay foolish, stay hungary.
