This is for a survey. Will you please answer 3 questions for my Economics Analysis paper?

The questions are:


1. How much do you normally receive for an income tax refund?


2. How do you usually spend it? (i.e. pay bills, big items you may not otherwise be able to afford, investments, etc.)


3. How long does it usually take for you to spend it all?





This is a survey for a school paper, so I'm not using any names of any kind, just statistical numbers for analysis.





Thanks for your help,


Diane

Reply:I get enough from the state to cover what I owe for the feds. I try to make it so I don't owe or get back but hard to do with stocks and interest. Why give them money interest free for the year?





If I do have any extra coming back, I invest it or pay down the mortgage.





I invest or pay down immediately after I get the money.
Reply:1. Have to pay in.


2. bills when I do get a refund

Reply:I don't. I keep the amount the government gets from my paychecks as close to the amount I'll owe as possible. I'd rather owe a little than let them have my money.





Since I don't get one, I don't spend it.
