Tip 3: Build a Bonfire, Burn Your Calculator and Make Some S’Mores

Bonfires and mathematical instruments go hand-in-hand. After doing long division to figure out your deductions, only to be told the standard deduction is the best you can get, you are in no mood to solve any math problems for a long time.

So build a bonfire and toss your calculator, scrap paper, and any related unnecessary migraine inducing configuration objects meant for 8th graders. Celebrate the banishment of these items by making delicious and joy-worthy s’mores.

However way you choose to commemorate this annual reminder of how much of your moolah not actually yours to keep, always remember you do get to benefit from paying taxes. Beyond that, gather around your loved ones and use this as an excuse to party. Once you've gotten over your whining of course.
