Put your tax refund to work for you!
Spend it? Save it? Invest it? Share it? Here are a few ideas for putting your tax refund to work for you:
- Build the emergency fund. Use your tax refund to start or add to your emergency savings account.
- Pay down high-interest debt. This is your chance to lower your debt and reduce the amount of interest you owe.
- Make a donation. f your finances are in good shape and you don’t need the money, donate all or part of your refund to your favorite charity.
- Invest in your home. Home improvements and repairs can pay for themselves in lower utility bills and/or increased value.
- Invest in yourself. Take an online class, attend a conference, re-up your gym membership, buy a better mattress. If it can improve your health, it’s a good investment.
