POLL - Ladies and Gents: What are you using your IRS tax refund money for???!?!?

Hello Ladies and Gents,

A little background on my life... I am 23 working two jobs. Graduated with my BS in Business Admin. degree last spring (4 years) and now a year later, I am starting my first Masters course in a few weeks! So, I have student loans of course. And I had to buy a new laptop for school. And I have to buy books and such. I am living at home thank goodness. So that helps me a bit. However, most of my money is going to my loans to get them paid off ASAP! I save when I can. But my tax money... I am wondering. Do I want to put it to loans/laptop bill/savings? Those are the only things I have in mind for that money.

What scenarios can you give me to help me figure out where to put that money I got back from the IRS!? ;)

Thanks, your input is very important to me! I need opinions please! As many as you can give! Please tell me your ideas!

    Who gets a refund? Which is after all, the gov't giving back to you YOUR OWN money. Better to adjust your withholding to reduce your refund.

  • Save it, for future needs like buying a house or incase you want to move somewhere.
