What I Will Do With My Tax Refund

I am probably one of the .00001% of Americans that doesn't mind doing their taxes.

Oh, I am the only one, you say?

I probably don't mind because 1. I like math, and 2. I don't have a lot of deductions, credits, exemptions, etc. that make it more complicated.

3. Most importantly, I get money!

I know, I know, getting a tax refund is like "giving the government an interest free loan", but there is just something about getting a big fat check at the end of the year that is kind of moral boosting.

And like any good American, I am going to do my part to stimulate the economy and spend it!

Here is what I could do with my tax refund:

1. Update my wardrobe.
I don't believe an explanation is necessary.

2. Buy my wedding shoes 
I've had my eyes on these Jimmy Choo's. I still don't know if I would be physically able to buy expensive shoes that I will wear one day and be hidden by my dress....but aren't they pretty?

3. A new lens for my camera.
I absolutely love my Sony NEX-5n. It is the perfect combination of a compact point-and-shoot, with the functionality and versatility of a DSLR.The camera came with a fairly standard 18-55mm lens, but I think I would get a lot of use out of a wide aperture lens.

4. Put it towards student loans.
As ironic as it is, I could take the money that I have "loaned" the government and pay back the loan the government has given me. That would be the practical and responsible thing to do. And even though it is not as fun as the others, this is probably what I will do with it.
