WAYS TO SPEND YOUR TAX REFUND WISELY

2/15/2018

5 Comments

 
Tax season is here again! You may be tempted to spend your REFUND on things you do not need, like wide-screen TV’s, expensive sneakers and clothes or other non-necessities. Making wise decisions to strategically plan how you will spend your tax refund now will save you from future financial headaches.

These steps taken before the tax season arrives, will be the beginning of smart financial practices that will help you during tax time and throughout the year. Be strategic. Create a monthly spending plan and write down how you’ll spend your tax refund in the coming year.

Begin with Direct Deposit. It’s easy, secure, convenient and fast. In the Refund section (Form 8888) of your 1040 income-tax return, write in your bank’s routing number, your checking or savings account number and your refund will be automatically sent to up to three different accounts indicated in Form 8888. You can also purchase US Series I Savings Bonds on Form 8888. Choosing this option will ensure no
lost, stolen or undeliverable paper checks!

I recommend using the 30-30-40 plan to pay for your past, present and future.
  1. Use 30% of your refund to pay down (or pay off) high- interest rate debt, like credit cards. PAYING OFF YOUR DEBTS CAN SAVE YOU HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS IN INTEREST YOU WOULD HAVE PAID IN THE FUTURE.
  2. Use 30% of your refund to create or boost your Emergency Savings fund to be financially prepared for emergencies like unexpected car repairs, home improvement or medical emergencies. 
  3. Use 40% to either boost your retirement savings, save for your child’s education or pay down the principal on your home mortgage. 

You may also want to consider charitable contributions to a food pantry or a homeless shelter. You’ll be helping your community and giving yourself a tax write-off when you file your taxes next year. Other ways to make the most of your tax refund: Save for the purchase of a major appliance, start a holiday fund, your child’s braces, summer camp, your anniversary etc.

My name is Rachel Frye and I want to give this testimony in respect of Dr. Odunga who made me win $2 Million Dollars in the Lottery by matching the 5 numbers for me. I am happy to be out of financial debt and be able to help my family in this seasonal period of fun and cheer. I contacted Dr. Odunga through Whats-App (+2348167159012) when I told him to help me win the Mega Millions and He told me that it would be spiritually checked if I will win the Lottery. When he informed me that I will not be able to win the Jackpot but I will win a huge amount in the lottery I was not completely sad but had great faith in him. I live in Freeland, Saginaw County, Michigan and I would say it was pretty hard to send him the money for the spell before he gave me the winning numbers to play. He sent me the numbers and I played. The next morning after the drawing, I matched the five white balls in the Aug. 4 drawing to win $1 million: 11-30-45-52-56. Thanks to the Megaplier X2, my prize was multiplied to $2 million. Thank You Dr Odunga for this wonderful experience with you. You too can contact Dr. Odunga at his Whats-App +2348167159012 or Email: [email protected]
