With the end of the year past that means it’s time to start talking about taxes. Of course it’s still a little far away, but forms will start being mailed out, people will be tallying expenses and the general craziness of it all will be here before we know it. I am a little scared. But H&R Block will have me covered. So now I can sit back and dream about what I will be doing with my tax refund!
I wish it would be huge so I could buy a new house, or use the refund for a down payment. But that’s just happy dreaming. We usually put some towards our savings (that hopefully one day will be a down payment) and some paying off some loans (which are pretty much almost done being paid!). Also some of it goes towards 1 of our summer vacations. It’s nice that we do get a nice refund so we are allowed to do several things with it!
H&R Block wants to help you dream a little bit more of what you would do with a nice chunk of money. On their Dreamfund App on Facebook they are giving away $20,000 each week, for 5 weeks, to 1 lucky winner. Now that chunk of money would definitely help me get part of a down payment! Houses are expensive in NY!
So you can enter once per day to the Dreamfund App. If you share a special link with your family and friends on Facebook or Twitter, you will earn another entry for each person that enters through that link.
It doesn’t stop there. You also get 3 chances a day to instantly win $100. Seems like decent odds to me! I wouldn’t mind an extra $100 in my pocket!
Good luck if you enter!!

I would pay off all my debt and then spend the rest on a van. We need a bigger car with 3 kids. LOL!
I would use it to pay my college loans.
Wow! With 20,000 We would definitely be taking that family vacation to Hawaii we’ve been talking about!
i’m gonna be boring and say put a lot of it in the bank and not talk about it…after going on a crazy shopping spree.
A car or taxes or mortgage would probably be where the money would go towards.
A downpayment for a house!
Paying all my debt off!

I would add it to our kid’s college fund that we are just beginning! Thanks for the chance!!
I would use the $20 000 to do some badly needed house renos – new windows, front step and bathroom and kitchen. Pretty sure it wouldn’t cover all of that but would sure go a long way to covering it.
bought a foreclosed house that was trashed slowly get it back , I definitely could use the money!!
I would put it toward our house loan.
I”ll use it towards a purchase of a house.
I would save it for my kid’s college education & take them to Disney with a small portion
i’d put 15k towards the house payment and have fun with the other 5K. I’d mostly spend it on my daughter
