Ok, so for those of you out there in the US, are you getting a refund this year? If so what are you planning on doing with it? We got back a much larger refund this year than we thought we would. We will be paying back my grandfather some money we owe him from a year ago, then getting new tires for our van, and quite a few other little things. How about everybody else?

Not sure how much we will get back, but we owe money to the IRS from last year since I did our taxes and did it wrong. LOL So, most of it will go there, but you know I expect a little more too so depending on how much more we get back, I will probably pay off another bill. Trying to get debt free.

We are trying to get debt free as well so I understand the difficulty that can be. Thanks for the response!

We bought a new set of bedroom furniture when it was on clearance at the end of the year. We put it on our credit card and will be paying it off when we get the tax refund, most likely later this week.
We used our credit card to get it because we have low interest on it and got 5% back on it due to a special promotion they were running. The total was around $1300 and the interest we paid for the one month that it was on there was much less than what we received as cash back. When we bought it, we knew we would be getting back more than enough from taxes to pay for it.
As for the rest of the money, I think we will be mostly using it to pay off a set of Encyclopedias we bought a while back that we are financing. The rest of the tax return will be used for whatever we want so we can shop without feeling guilty!
