5 Top Things People Spend Their Tax REFUND On; Find Out What They Are

Want to know what people spend their tax refund on?  There are a variety things but these are the top things people put their extra cash to when there is a lump sum of funds coming their way.  It's almost like winning the lottery or a special savings account.  Here are some ideas of what to put your extra money into.

What to do with your tax refund; Here are top 5 most people put their extra money into.

1) Pay off bills.  I know it's not as exciting as buying a big screen TV or something youwill forget about in a month.  But this is a good way to put the tax refund towards bills so there isn't much interest paid along with the purchases made throughout the year.

2) Vacation is one that we think we deserve because we have worked so hard throughout the year.  As it is good to have at least one good vacation a year for mind and soul purposes. Better yet, if possible, try to take mini vacations as the year goes.  As I love to travel and my husband travels a lot for his employment.  It is definitely more interesting to travel with a newborn and a toddler but we do what we need to do.  

3) This could be the time to do all the home improvement stuff big or small.  Landscaping isn't very costly and can make for great curb appeal.  Painting a room is inexpensive and is definitely instant gradification!  Even putting in new faucets and towel racks in the bathroom makes a huge impact in a room for a low cost upgrade and makes things look clean and updated.

4) Open a Roth IRA Account or rollover your traditional IRA into a Roth IRA Account.  Even though the interest isn't as good right now, it's a good time to put a lump sum in while it's somewhat low (Buy low, sell High method).  With even as little as $5.00 it can start with something and add a little bit every month.

5) My favorite of them all is a home based business.  At the beginning of the year, people realize they want more time freedom, money, and/or bills paid off.  I find most people are more open to looking into something that is a good fit for them.
