After a weekend full of shopping and swiping, I logged into online banking to see the damage. To my surprise, my balance was way higher than normal. I’m rich! Well, not really rich, but there is still money in my checking account. The good news sent me straight into happy dance mode!

Once the dancing ended, I clicked around and learned that I had received my tax return last night. Bonus money! Now, what should I do with it? My initial thoughts were to run to the mall and buy a whole new spring wardrobe. Then I thought about transferring it all to my savings account. I’m torn.

Do you have any big plans for your tax return? Are you going to purchase something fabulous or will you be saving for a rainy day?
