5 Smart Ways to Spend Your Tax Refund
Features It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas. Now that most Americans have filed their tax returns—an estimated 10 million applied for extensions—the wait is on for the much-anticipated refund checks.

The Federal government (and retailers) hope your newfound feelings of prosperity will translate into a trip to the local mall where you’ll pump your cash right back into the moribund economy.
