Refund refreshers

Tax refund season is like hunting season for those of us who forget this big refund is actually our own money coming back to us -- interest free from Uncle Sam.

It's not a gift to us, but from us and we need to use it wisely.

I went on the hunt for a new vacuum and did enough research to finally realize my old vacuum does so many things I forgotten about -- and never use!

Having had a refresher course on what I already own I am now quite happy not to buy a new vacuum.

So where else might this pretend windfall go?

Probably my dentist who gives a five percent discount on all procedures paid for with cash or check.

But even this large amount will not cover her until my car is paid for and I can add that payment to this one!

Seems no hunting is required.
