Got my taxes done-yaah!!

I’m happy because I’m getting just enough back to pay off my Lowe’s credit card ( had to buy a new washing machine and a hot water heater recently), and buy a medical lab test that’s not covered by my insurance. Made two doctors appointments today as well. Cooking some salmon burgers for dinner and then running errands before the weather gets icy. It’s been a good day off so far! Hope everyone is also having a great day today!

I'll probably do mine this weekend.
I estimate that I'll get between 1200 and 1300 dollars back

@Onestarlitnight doing anything exciting with it? Or just paying bills like me?

@Mardrae
Nah, I'll put it in my savings account. I don't need anything and all of my debts are paid

@Onestarlitnight Why would you put it into your savings account? The inflation rate is higher than the interest rates of savings accounts. You need to constantly re invest money, keep it moving, money is called "currency" which is latin for "constantly moving". More money in your savings account equals less money creating things, and the money that is in the savings account is simply losing value. Of course, save money by getting good deals, but don't put any of it into a savings account, invest it all into improving yourself in every way you can and you'll find have more resources in the long run than if you had saved it.
