I thought I’d have a little relief itch the tax return looking and I’ve just had a quick look at what I’d get back and it’s ended being nowhere what I thought it was going to be.
I’ll be lucky to get back 150 dollars.
I really needed something good to happen in light how tough it’s been supporting my partner and this just is indescribable.
Tax returns are always bittersweet. On one hand, it's nice getting a lump sum at the end of FY.
On the other hand, I know it's just my own money - that my work has overpaid as taxes - and it would've been so much better for it to be sitting in a high-interest savings during the year, instead of earning nothing in ATO's pocket until I get it back later...
