without taxes at the frist of the year i wont never have 4g in my pocket

I'm going to use you as a whipping post for a sec here.

I told you to take out your calculator, because your math is not adding up.

If you make $10/hr, then there should be no way for you to get back $4k/yr unless some numbers are missing somewhere. That's the first thing.

Second, even if your numbers are right, wouldn't you be ABLE (everything else held equal) to keep far MORE than $4k if you GOT 100% of what you EARNED every single week? If not, why not?

Finally, if you put $100/wk MORE in your pocket, how are you not going to have $4k at the end of any given year? Furthermore, why would you want a single payment that NETS LESS over a steady and perpetual payment that NETS you MORE?

I'm guessing some serious help from Earned Income Credit here.

It's a losing battle, I've been telling people for years to adjust their withholdings and take home more each paycheck but they always end up saying "what about my refund?"... ugh... :facepalm:

Think about it.. you get a check for $4000 each year or you can get nearly $80 more every single week. Now wouldn't that help our more? Instead of getting it all at once and blowing it, you can use it to live, to eat, to get around and take care of yourself.


I'm trying to be as nice as possible but I can barely read these posts.

Right??? So I'm not crazy, right? (She's a real accountant. So yall betta not try and argue or she'll whip out a slide ruler and own you..... )

I've said the same thing to employees for YEARS. People think that if they get some big refund they're actually coming out ahead. All they're really doing is lending Uncle Sam money at 0% interest..... People won't ever get that for some reason.
