Agreed.

At the same time, I do think people are brainwashed & not accustomed to thinking that it is their money to begin with.

That said, I typically shoot for a $0 return/paymnet. I like to keep my money working for me as much as possible, or at least in my pocket, not theirs.

Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
