The IRS called – you’ve got money. Now what?

Let’s face it – tax refunds are the only reason we ever want to hear from the IRS. We know the Vegas slot machines are calling your name, but we think your refund can be better spent (or saved) in other ways. But how? We think Kiplingers’ short list of smarter refund uses is a good start. Size matters with savings, so bulk up your savings account or IRA. Or banish that debt for good by paying off a credit card or two. By using smarter ways to spend, your refund will pay you back in ways that slot machines never could. Tell us how you’re planning to spend your refund wisely.
