I recently got a scary letter in my mailbox about some tax filings from a couple of years ago, telling me I need to respond immediately. Well, I naturally did not do that out of panic and worry. But when I finally did, I realized the government was trying to give me back my money. Yay. ๐ I hate this teeter dance so much.
In 2021 my government sent out vouchers (that you could exchange for cash) to help with the energy pricing crisis after Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine. I knew I'd be getting that letter and what would be in it. Then I got it and forgot to open it, to this day. 500โฌ down the drain. That's like 20 hours of work for me.
