 TITLE: What to Do With Your Tax Refund CONTENT: Invest in Yourself\n------------------\nWhile it's possible to spend your $2,500 tax refund on 688 brown sugar boba drinks, you might use the opportunity instead to pay for something you can't ordinarily afford—something that represents an investment in yourself and your life.\n*   **Well-being**: Get the LASIK surgery you've been putting off. Purchase home exercise equipment. Get dental work. Make appointments for any necessary medical tests and procedures you didn't do in 2020. Health is the best kind of wealth.\n*   **Education**: Whether you're interested in professional development, mastering new life skills or simply having fun learning to cook or play the ukulele, classes are a great investment in you.\n*   **Home improvement**: Complete the home repairs you've neglected or consider a refresh. New flooring, fresh paint or an upgraded kitchen or bath are not only uplifting but may also boost your home's value.\n*   **Fun**: Especially after 2020, devoting your tax refund to a vacation, clothing that's suitable for wearing outside your home, dinner out for you and your mates, basketball tickets—or, frankly, anything that sounds fun and won't break the bank—is your well-earned prerogative to consider as businesses and events start coming back.
