I got my taxes done today.
I got a refund of $921.
Then I had my taxes redone from last year, since it didn’t make sense to me that I had to pay. Well, it turns out I missed a deduction. And so, that added another $612, for a grand total of…
**$1,543!!! **
[Daffy]I’m rich! I’m independently wealthy![/Daffy]
Aaron is gonna have a good start to his college fund, methinks. 
Brilliant my good lad!
Why am I saying that, you’re older than me.
Anyways, congrats on the refund.
But I’m too young to pay taxes so pfft!
Oh yeah, and I’m dumb, too. I meant $1,533.
sigh
But I’m still rich!
First, that’s great!
But more importantly, on behalf of the Association of Economists and Investors Who Think People Spend Too Damn Much Money and Don’t Save Enough and Who Really Ought to Have a Better Name for Our Organization, I would like personally to thank you for your decision to take the money and put it away for future needs.
As if you’re not helping the country enough by serving in the military, it’s you and people who make similar decisions who will keep the country prosperous by saving for the future.
But if you want to blow $100 or so on a nice dinner, I can’t say I’d blame you.
Jeez, Manhattan, at least let the guy go to the Palm or something. He’s gonna need more than a C-note for that.
But socking it away for little Aaron is a wise idea, Dave. Smart man, you’ll go far.
Yes, when Aaron is 17, and a senior in high school, his parents won’t be reduced to eating cat food and living in a trailer when he opens that nice fat envelope from an Ivy League university. He’s on his own, however, for medical school.

Aaron, eh? I skipped the “don’t look if you don’t want to know” thread, but I’m afraid that commentary along the lines of “…his parents won’t be reduced to eating cat food and living in a trailer when he opens that nice fat envelope from an Ivy League university…” have clued me in.
'Grats, you two (er, three)!
Medical school?!?
Sheesh, what with all that’s going on these days medicine is gonna be socialized by the time Aaron starts thinking about higher ed. By then all the doctors will be driving Chevrolets.
The kid’s going to law school so he can hench for his big-time power broker and kingmaer Uncle Zap, right? 
Zap!
