Everyone gets a refund with their tax return, right? For some people, an annual tax refund is one of the bigger checks they'll receive all year.
When you receive a refund come tax time, this doesn't happen out of thin air: It simply means your employer paid more money to the government on your behalf than ended up being required. A tax refund happens when you've paid more than you legally owe to the IRS; in other words, you've overpaid the government during the tax year, and your refund makes you whole come tax time.

Giving Your Kids an Allowance Helps Teach Money-Management Skills - TulsaKids Magazine
Come to a mutual agreement about how much money your kids are allowed to spend, how much they are supposed to save, and find a charity that they truly care about. As Susan Borowski, the author of “Money Crashers” puts it, having kids “choose the charity of their choice will make them more likely to set aside the money. Just like we give to charities that matter to us, children also need to give to a charity that matters to them, or they won’t be motivated to do it.

Magical Elon Musk now bored with mere Muggle money | Nevada Current
“Technoking.” That is now a word that Elon Musk has added to his title, because of course he has. When he’s not yammering on like a teenage boy about creating an atmosphere on Mars by nuking the hell out of it (sigh), he’s yammering on like, well, a teenage boy about bitcoin. With which you can now buy a Tesla, Musk has announced.
Musk says he will be hoarding the magic bitcoin people give him in exchange for his magic cars, rather than trading it for mere Muggle money. Will Tesla give people billions of dollars worth of cars in exchange for bitcoin but then the value of bitcoin will collapse and Musk will be ruined? Perhaps someone somewhere cares.

Letter: The cost of free money - Anchorage Daily News
Let's take a look at this stimulus money the federal government is lavishing down on us. $600 last year and $1,400 this year for a cool $2,000. That is some serious money.
The government gave me $40 per month for being in the Army ROTC program, which was money I really needed. I then spent two years in the Army making half as much as I would have in civilian practice and I wouldn't have gotten shot at as a civilian.
So, maybe the government isn't as generous it seems when it hands out "free" money. Maybe we just got played.
