I think that it is best to wait for your retrn to processed in 10 days because the RAL's are expensive and the way this economyis going, everyone needs to try an save every penny that they can get their hands on!!!

It seems unlikely that on average, taxpayers “face urgent financial needs, such as paying bills or emergency expenses” that necessitate these loans. If a person lives paycheck to paycheck for the entire year, what makes a specific three to six period so different? I would argue that it is impatience and imprudence (or possibly a lack of understanding the fees of RALs) that causes their widespread popularity. My guess is that the mindset is ‘I’m playing with the house’s money’, so it’s not a big deal to ‘tip the dealer’ a few bucks.

Sounds like another example of how expensive it is to be poor. Same category as payday loans, check cashing, overdraft fees and the lottery.
