6 Things You Never Knew You Could Spend Your Tax Refund On

Tax season is just around the corner.  I’ll be honest – it’s not my favorite.  Gathering all the receipts, making sure I have all the forms I need, etc. is not what I’d call fun.  But once my taxes are filed and I know how much of a refund I’ll be getting, I start thinking about what I can spend that refund on.  We don’t usually spend our refund on anything extravagant but that doesn’t stop me from dreaming!

6 Things You Never Knew You Could Spend Your Tax Refund On:

1. Spa Day – Doesn’t every mom deserve a spa day?!  You don’t have to spend your entire refund on a day at the spa, but splurge on a nice package and pamper yourself.
2. Household Items (refrigerator, stove, etc.) – Buying new household items (especially the expensive ones!) is never fun but spending your tax refund on the goods makes it a little less painful.  At least for me it does!
3. Down Payment on a New Car – A down payment on a new car?!  COOL, am I right?  And, yep, with DriveTime, you can use your tax refund to put a down payment on a new vehicle.  Find a DriveTime dealership here.
4. Take an “All Expenses Paid” Vacation – Put your refund toward a family vacation.  Pay for everything before you leave so you don’t have to spend (much) out of pocket while you are visiting some perfect destination!
5. Learn Something New – Have you been wanting to learn something new?  Take some of your tax refund and put it toward a new class.  (If it were me, I’d take a photography class!)
6. Create an Emergency Fund – It may not sound like fun, but an emergency fund is necessary.  Take some of your tax refund and put it in an account for unexpected situations.
