Quote:I "owe" every year. The only physical check that I write every year is my tax check. I wait until April and send it via "snail mail" along with paper forms for them to process. If my tax dollars are paying for the IRS, I'm going to make them actually earn their paycheck.

I have my employer withhold the minimum from my paychecks, and the excess goes to my 401k and/or a money market account. I invest my MM account (actually a ROTH IRA) in the stock market. This past year I got a 9% return on my investment which is not REAL good, but it's not bad either. Had that money been sitting in a regular savings account I would be lucky if I earned 1% on it.

My point is, it's always better to keep as much of YOUR MONEY as possible, and try to grow it rather than give the government an interest-free loan.

If someone offered me a guaranteed 9% return on my investment accounts every year for the rest of my life, I'd ask where I sign up before they even finished the sentence. Sure, some years you can get a lot more, but for an average, it's good.
