The Me Refund
It looks like the IRS will start rolling out the refunds pretty soon. Depending on your status, you could be in for $600, $900 or even $1200! Prudence will tell you to catch up on your mortgage or sock it away for college or invest it in long term investments. But that's not what they want you to do, they want you to spend it! It's like the $20 bill that your grandmotherr use to press into your hand before you left her house, whispering conspiratorially "Don't tell your mother, spend it on something good".
In that fantasyland, with just 600 big ones, I could buy two pairs of seriously hip jeans, book a full spa day of pampering for me and two friends, have a nice steak with a ridiculously good bottle of wine, fly to Chicago for a day of shopping, buy one pair of Jimmy Choos, or rent a limo and driver to do all my picking up and dropping off.
What would you do?
I'd go for the Jimmy Choos... or a new digital camera. No, the Choos.
I'm donating the whole thing to whoever is running against the idiot policy of cutting taxes while we are at war.
