This or That 1. File taxes as early as possible, or wait until the last possible minute? EARLY! I did them the old-fashioned way and although we did not get everything until Feb. 1, they were all sent out less than a week later and we had our refund deposited 4 weeks later.
2. File electronically, or mail paper forms? Paper forms.
3. Prepare your own taxes, or have someone do it for you? I do them myself.
4. Are you a saver or a spender? I love to save, but bills force me to spend.
5. Do you prefer to carry cash, or pay with plastic (credit/debit cards), or by check? PLASTIC...bank card.
6. You're broke and desperately need a job, but the only places that are hiring are retail or fast food places. Which would you pick? Retail. I hate stinking like food after a long day at work (Little Ceasars experience here.)
7. Keeping track of your money: are you more meticulous or careless about it? Most people think I am careless because it is not in a wallet in my purse, but I am pretty good about it.
8. What do you do if you find yourself with a lot of change weighing down your purse/pocket/wallet? Do you try to spend it to *get rid of it*, or do you put it in a jar or a piggy bank? I have a silver jar and a penny jar. My bank has a free counting machine and no longer accepts ROLLED coins, so I like to take in a jar once in a while.
9. Which form of fake money do you like better...Monopoly money or those chocolate coins covered with gold foil? I prefer anything chocolate!
10. Thought-provoking question of the week: You find a wallet containing $5,000 in cash, as well as several credit cards and the owner's drivers' license. Your rent is due tomorrow and you're short $200. Do you take the money (some or all of it) and mail back the wallet anonymously...or do you return the wallet with all contents intact? A thief is a thief and I am NOT a thief, not even to get out of debt. Not even anonymously. I used to turn in found bottle slips, but I know that MANY store employees will dishonestly cash them in themselves. Now, I try to find the owner, unless I know the store or a specific worker well. (I have been known to stand by the registers/customer service for 30 minutes, watching for the person hunting for their bottle slip and giving it back.) Otherwise, I will cash them in and donate ALL of the money. Sunshine - Walking on Sunshine -
