My wife relies on our tax refund like some kind of consoomer, so she was concerned.
I still do not understand why she is OK giving the government an interest free loan for 12 months.
This gives me the perfect chance to move that money into a separate account to make money for us and our family and then give her what I was planning on getting in taxes anyway. She’ll thank me in 10 years when we have an extra 100k.
The thing is I was once terrible with money, in 10K+ debt, made bad choices, etc... She is the official "banker" of the house, so yea, its about a balance of responsibilities.
I've grown up and can now budget like a MF, but you gotta break the rules in order to prove yourself sometimes.

Tell your wife to learn how to budget.
