The refund is actually the government repaying the principal on a loan you made. If, however you want the unintentional charity …
April was not a particularly exciting month on personal finance front. The biggest change is that I have committed even more deeply to the LLC by investing $5,000 in. My partner has done the same.

Well, I finished my taxes. Yahoo! That's about a month later than usual, but the trickling in of tax documents seems to be taking longer every year. I still can't seem to get my withholding right to keep me from getting a large refund. I've used the calculator at the IRS, but like most things IRS-related, it's …
A note from Slug: This is another guest post from Noreen. This week she's written a nice review of Lending Club.
