Yep. Same here. This time of year, I hear many of my patients talking about how they plan to spend their refunds. These same folks also invariably get rapid refund loans when they have their taxes done at one of the pop-up tax places that opens every January. So not only are they blowing their refunds, they are paying 150% or higher interest to get that loan 2 weeks sooner.
