If your IRS refund is your only form of saving, then spending it on a MacBook Pro takes you to a whole new level of bad decision making.

  Unfortunately it also makes you a fairly typical American.

    I'm sure Apple would be thrilled if all of the typical Americans bought MacBook Pros.

    It is baffling how many people treat a tax return like it's found money, when in reality it's the end result of you losing money. People think "oh sweet I can buy a laptop" rather than "oh crap I lost a bunch due to inflation and missed interest". Sometimes I wish I knew less about math, I would probably be happier.
