TL;DR You know what makes me angry? Every time I hear some DumDum business owner (who is probably broke) or “Fake Financial Guru” (borrowed from Lorilyn Wilson) talk about buying things to “save on taxes”. Surely you have you heard some of these same fools on the internet (or at the Thanksgiving table) talk about all the things they are buying because “they need the write off”. Sure, let’s spend $100 so we save giving Uncle Sam $25? That’s some genius-level math right there.
I totally agree Kate! We are a consumer culture always wanting more, more, more. Great job on explaining Not buying just for tax benefit!
PS. I took FB off my phone too & have found more time!
