Dear Poll: What will you do with your Tax Refund?

Happy tax day! Are you getting a refund this year or did you have to pay up? Some people view their tax refund as "free money" while others are much more responsible with their government issued check. So I'm curious, what are you planning on doing with your tax refund?

    I spent it the day I got it. I'm horrible at saving money! I treated myself to a new Coach bag and Gucci sunglasses.

    I put all of it in my savings to make up for the money I took out last October to go to South Africa and Kenya on Safari. I was counting on a refund since I splurged for the trip and I got lucky....

    A big refund just means that you are paying the government too much and they are getting the benefit of investing your money instead of you.

    I had to pay several thousand but it was no big surprise and I had been saving for it. So I didn't really go celebrate forking over a large chunk of money to the gov't.

    I put 90% of my refund in savings and went to Ikea with the remaining 10% to buy a few things for my apartment. It wasn't much, but at least I know I have a little cushion in my savings accout in case of an emergency.

    We owe this year - the state is giving us a little back, but not enough to cover what we owe in federal taxes!

    i'm getting a refund, i usually spend it on bills, but this year i am going to put most of it away to save for a new apartment. i am going to buy myself a lil somethin somethin, but nothing outrageous...maybe a new bra, and this dress i've been wanting, but couldn't bear to part with the money for. i know there are a million things i could get, but a new apt is definitely the thing i want the most!
