What do you plan on spending your tax refund on ?

[Gloryhound]

Personal IRA for half. Other half will go into savings until I see a good indicator on a stock and decide to buy. (It could be in savings for quite a while.)

I tell you what, being single with no dependents doesn't lend itself to much of a refund after it's all said and done.

I had planned to buy a small laptop - until I saw just how little I'm getting back. I guess the bright side is that I'm not overpaying Uncle Sam by much.

Have I mentioned how much I want The Fair Tax lately?

bills first, invest some.. and then the rest is for playing with.. not sure, probably a rack system or two.. then a snake or two. at least thats the plan.. we'll see what life decides for me

Amen. We pay more in taxes than most people make in a year and usually still end up owing. I guess I need to pop out a few kids for the tax break.

I was expecting a few thousand but when I got them done the lady tells me I got $107 back...I was rather livid lol

But LUCKILY I bought my first house in May so I got the first time homebuyers credit of $7500! So I'm paying off furniture and fixing my fence and maybe have enough for the roof to be fixed too (from Gustav since I got screwed by insurance) Probably going to try and save as much as I can since I got laid off last Monday. Trying to control the urge to buy more snakes...

Stick with a "No load" mutual fund that is moderate to aggressive growth that makes 12% +/- put your dividends on DRIP (dividends reinvestment program)

Example if you invest $1000.00 at 12% then the next year you'll be earning 12% on $1120.00 and it just keeps compounding over the investment period.

Credit card. Then when all my cards are paid of in a few months then another vision rack......and stuff to fill it with. Than back to paying off the cards. Well card cut all but one up.

Right with you. Pay them off haha, run them up pay them off.
