53. How to Use My Tax Refund
Manage episode 409997762 series 3514003
Since tax season is here, I wanted to answer a very common question I get this time of year: how do I use my tax refund?
Everybody has a different response to receiving a tax refund.
- Some people purely see it as fun money as extra money. They can do whatever they want with it.
- Other people have been scraping by the past couple of months and feel a sense of relief when they receive a tax refund want to use it to catch up and add a little bit of breathing room back into their finances.
- Other people sometimes feel paralyzed by receiving a large chunk of cash all at once, because they're trying to figure out what to do with it, and it tends to disappear rather quickly.
So on today's episode, I share a few questions to think through as you receive that tax refund so you can make sure it's going to be used to not only feel good in the moment, but also to change the trajectory of your finances longterm.
