Using your tax refund for....

We are going to take our refund and use it to pay any PFD letters that come back answered.  We are also going to use it for secured cards.

 

It does not seem glorious and glamorous, but it feels good.  Anyone else doing that?  Or are you doing something fun and exciting with yours?  A trip?  Something nice for the spouse?

Brake work (they probably are not suppose to make that grinding noise, are they?) and check up for the car.

 

New computer

 

Savings for landscaping the back yard.

 

Quick estimate shows I am getting a fairly decent sum, lots of taxes and interest on my house!

Into my savings.  I am saving for a new car, ( or hot rod ).  I have not bought a new car in 26 yrs.  I am still driving my 1984 Chevy truck that I bought new, and it is still in excellent condition. Smiley Wink
