Taxes are no laughing matter; there can be some serious consequences for messing up. But that doesn’t mean we can’t joke around a bit to make taxes more enjoyable. Well, that’s pretty much impossible, but there’s no harm in trying with some funny financial quotes.

Our finances are not always in the best place, but funny financial quotes could help wipe away those banking blues. Tax season is a mixed bag. Some of us are out there getting big refunds and using those refunds to buy and do fun things.

Getting those refunds is always fun, and there’s obviously reasons to look forward to tax season. But then there’s the rest of us, the ones who are shelling out big bucks to cover our taxes from this year.

There is nothing worse than giving money away and not seeing the immediate return on the investment. Of course, taxes do help pay for the infrastructure that we enjoy every single day; therefore, taxes are necessary.

But that doesn’t make it any more fun to do them every year. Not only are we giving up money and not getting anything immediately in return, we are also putting in a lot of work.

We almost literally need to go through all of our spending over the past year, find write-offs and just dissect our finances. There is nothing worse than going through our past year with a fine tooth comb and seeing all of the mistakes we’ve made or the unnecessary expenses.

Ultimately, doing taxes is not fun at all and should only be enjoyed by those who are either making money from the season or getting money back. Everyone else can use a little laughter; that’s why we need funny financial quotes to help get us through it.

These quotes may help weaken the sting but also remind us that we are not alone. There aren’t many who enjoy tax season but these quotes could change that.
