5 Smart Ways to Spend Your Tax Refund
It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas. Now that most Americans have filed their tax returns—an estimated 10 million applied for extensions—the wait is on for the much-anticipated refund checks.

The Federal government (and retailers) hope your newfound feelings of prosperity will translate into a trip to the local mall where you’ll pump your cash right back into the moribund economy. Before you blow your cash on car payments or flat screens, it’s worth honestly considering your financial situation before making any decisions.
