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...

I guess I got my hopes up and thought I’d get a little bit of relief.

It was nowhere near what I was expecting.

I guess at least I don’t owe the ATO anything and have to pay them back. That’s the only bright side to it.
