After much procrastination, I've finally done my tax return. I can pay as Head of Household, which saves me a bundle. I'm getting back more than I thought at first!

I will be able to fund my emergency fund up to $1000, throw about a grand at debt and still be able to do a couple of fix-up projects on the house and car.

Yippee--

Great news!! I know people say that you shouldn't give the government a 'loan' of your money all year in order to get a refund, but it's nice to get one, isn't it? LOL!

Sounds like you have a good plan for the refund!

Thanks,

There are several little niggly things around the house that I've been wanting to repair/replace, but haven't been emergencies, ya know. I may need to hire labor for some of this. Soo happy to be able to get these things taken care of.

I'll be able to get one card down to half the avail credit line. That should help the cr score. Plus, I really need an emerg. fund--you know something WILL happen. It's only a ? of when.

Have a great weekend.
