Pros and Cons of a Big Tax Refund

Many people view their annual tax refund as a bonus or windfall to use as they wish.  This timely video encourages you to consider how you might use a tax refund to help better yourself financially – e.g., by paying down credit card debt or investing the money – rather than engaging in a splurge that might feel good in the short term, but serves no long-term benefit. We also suggest you to consider adjusting your withholding and investing the difference in your retirement savings plans.
