As many of us know, the tax deadline is coming up quickly but many people have already filed and received their refund. The question now is, what will you do with it? Everyone is seriously tempted to just spend it.. I know I am. But there are so many different ways to make your money work for you. Check out some of these suggestions:
- Open/Deposit into a savings account– Think of this as the beginning of your future. Don’t have a savings account? Put some of your refund in it and set a monthly amount to put into the account. Already been saving? Put this money in to get you closer to your goal.
- Make that important purchase you’ve been saving for– We’ve been thinking about buying a deep freezer for a while but just never made the purchase. When we got our tax refund, we put some money aside to not only buy the freezer but to add some food into it. Never hurts to be prepared.
- Start a college fund for the children– I know lots of people don’t put away any money for their children. Even if you can’t do much, just a little bit would help your child so do what you can.
- Pay off debt– Yes, I know that not everyone gets a lot of money back when they file. But even $100 can help you get out of debt. Put your refund towards that credit card that you just can’t get down. It will help interest and in the long run, help you pay it off.
- Have fun!– Now I’m not saving that you go out and just spend it all. However, that doesn’t mean that you can’t take the family out to a nice dinner just to have everyone out together.
