I couldn't agree more with your idea. However we will probably do with it what we do with our tax return every year; add it to our savings. I know that's not the status quo thing to do - every commercial on tv & radio wants to tell me how to spend it - but it makes more sense in our situation to just save it. We're not over our heads in debt - we do pretty good, but maybe one day something will change. At least if that happens, we will have something to fall back on at least for a little while. Maybe it's a bad plan - but that's what we're doing regardless.The ArachNerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00522162119302129876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12126432.post-42102897592947567742008-04-23T13:07:00.000-05:002008-04-23T13:07:00.000-05:00I totally agree!
