I hate people that get returns. Passionately.

and yet I was able to sleep well last night....with bills paid and money in the bank.

Why? Jealousy or because you hate us giving the government an interest free loan or something else?

My wife and I are middle class too with no kids and our return was a nice chunk of change. We received both a state and federal return within 2 weeks which was quicker than last year. We don't carry debt besides my student loans so some is going to investments, some to student loans and the rest to the car I am buying from my FIL. Beats paying someone this time of year!

It's because he's rich and makes a fun ton but doesn't want to pay taxes. He also hates the poor like you and I.

Nah dude. You hate taxes. People are cool.

He has to pay SE tax.

I haven't received state yet. No idea when I will either. Experience tells me it could be anywhere from 2 weeks to 4 months. Alabama sucks.

I got the federal in 6 days, which might be a record for me.

Oh, well I can appreciate that. The year my wife was a contract employee (massage therapy) sucked come tax time. (It didn't help we lived in two states and between the two of us and the move we had five jobs.)

All states suck. They're all broke.
