I know this is really early to even be thinking about, but what do you all plan on doing with your tax returns?

I would normally say take a trip. As a matter of fact I was just on Groupon and they have an all inclusive for $600 to Iceland! Great deal! But I can't this time. I'm going to put whatever I get on my credit cards. I used to use them almost exclusively to rack up points and pay them down immediately. A few months I let it get away from me and now I owe about 3k. :sadcam:

I hope to have it paid down by March. Last year I got about 3k back, but I'm not banking on that this year. I have ALWAYS gotten at least 1000 so hopefully that remains the same.

What do you all plan to do with your money?

Are you trying to build credit? Also, how much are you trying to spend on a car?

I've been doing bad recently. I bought a beater with my savings to drive uber and said I was going to grind and earn it back in at most two months. I underestimated how much driving people around for hours would become taxing for me. I see people making $1700-2000 a week and they must be driving for HOURS a day. I want to get up to at the very least 3 months of expenses. I'm close and I need to ramp it up.

Student loan

Just paid mine off last year. Not having that to worry about is :lawd:. Good luck!

That's a good budget for a car. My first car was a chevy Malibu. Paid for it in cash, it was like 3000. Felt like a boss with my wad of cash. Threw it up a few times and shook my booty while it fell on my cheeks.

:takedat:

You couldn't tell me nothing.
