You probably already have an idea of what to do with your tax refund. It's a pretty common occurrence when doing the math after filing your taxes that you imagine the places the return will go to. But now that we're in return season, what will you do with it?
On today's Equifax Finance Blog post, tax expert Eva Rosenberg gives you plenty of options to choose from, some you may not have thought of and some you maybe should consider. Are you looking to do something practical? Catching up on bills is certainly a sensible way to spend a little extra money. But have you thought about putting the money into something beneficial yet still practical? Maybe you could take a class that will make you eligible for a promotion?

If you plan correctly and your return allows, you might be able to do a little bit of both. For more options, both sensible and indulgent, read the full post here.
