Our grand daughter called yesterday to ask her Grandpa what she should do with her first ever tax refund?
This "child" is sharing a house with friends and working two jobs... and taking a gap year before starting college next fall.
She lucky, in a way, because she likes her jobs and is making enough to cover her expenses. One is as a server for Applebee's. The other is as a preschool reading tutor ( currently online but that may change shortly) for Americorps. I wasn't sure she'd like the latter but loves her kids and is enjoying finding ways to encourage them especially the ones that have already mastered the required material. It helps that her Mother is a teacher in the elementary level gifted program and knows how to find useful material!!
BTW... Grandpa told her to put her refund in a savings account ( not that there will be any worthwhile interest) but she needs to put away money for emergencies !! And there are always emergencies and the need to get at the money easily. Wonder whether she will take his advice?
The big snow storm has completely missed us. We have had nothing but gray skies since the big rain day!!
I'm not complaining.... snowfalls measuring in feet not inches is not on my bucket list!!
Tomorrow is Groundhog Day.... what will be Punxsutawney (sp?) Phil's prediction be??
