Taxes

Several guys I work with will give MORE money out of their check than what the drunken uncle wants and hope for a larger refund!

Single income, no kids expecting about 6.5k back...  It makes no sense!

Boy number 1 is a quality control engineer fro Chrysler. (I don't think he finds much in the way of quality) He grosses around 140K per, and gets 12-15K in refunds. I've tried to explain the issue to him. He thinks of it as a forced savings account. One of these days his ass will get bitten hard enough for him to listen. Maybe. Doubt it.

I’ve told these guys the gov don’t care for that stuff but they say they can’t save money any other way!

is it really that hard to set up a bank account that you have to physically go into the branch to withdraw funds from?

Apparently it is...  actually, I can do all my banking from my recliner including deposits!  Take a pic of the check and click. 

It’s about self control!  They don’t have any.

That is pretty sad.

People don't send me checks very often, but I get cash back checks on one of my credit cards a few times a year. I have direct deposit on everything possible, and always have. I had direct deposit in the army too, and my money was always in the bank the day before payday. There were always a bunch of schmucks lined up around the block on payday waiting to cash their checks, while I already had cash in my pocket from the ATM. Those guys missed a lot of lunches while standing in line. If you saw me you'd know I haven't missed a lot of meals.

I have all of my monthly bills either charged to a credit card that I get interest on, or taken directly out of my checking or savings account. I can't remember what year I last wrote a check, but it's been a little while. The register in my checkbook has a little calendar on it for 2004, 2005 and 2006. I don't think I've balanced my checkbook in about 15 years. If I do write a check I go online and transfer some money from my savings to cover it, and I always know how much is in my account.

About the only things I write checks for any more is church tithing and medical expenses (it is easier to show I've paid a bill when the idiots at our local hospital send duplicate bills). Everything else is done either via automatic monthly drafts or online by me. A box of check last me a long time.

See I do almost everything by check.   It makes record keeping so much easier.   Now building materials That are not account based are cc.  Everything  account based gets. Monthly check

If I was in your business I’d do much the same.
