This Is How You Could Spend Your Tax Refund

HAVE FUN

Even if you do need to be responsible with the money, there’s no reason that you can’t take a responsible portion of the money and do something enjoyable with it, Gulbransen says. “Fun is in the word refund,” he says, suggesting that you take part of the money and do something fun with it and “spend it on an experience or something you’ve always wanted to do, like taking a weekend away to explore somewhere new,” he says.

“You can invest in yourself and learn a new skill. Sign up for a cooking class you want to take; it may even save you a few bucks if you use those skills to start cooking at home more. Or you could buy yourself some time and hire someone to clean your house or mow your lawn,” he adds.
