Well I plan on taking my refund and helping myself pay to get my license because I am freshly out of prison after 3 years 11 month sentence and I'm all alone without any support from family or friends and I'm trying my hardest to stay on track so with getting my license back I'll be able to get back and forth to work after my first month or two of work to pay for a down payment on a car for myself. Its a struggle but I'm determined like I was determined to get high all them years ago.

So I don't want to get too personal. But my fiance and I just had a baby 9 months ago and I'm still out of work, bc I was also incarcerated and as a female with a record it's very hard for me to find a decent paying job. My credit is terrible from a decision I made at 18. I'm trying to rebuild especially because if I could buy a house since we're in the process of being evicted, I would love that. I really want my tax return to go towards a down payment. If not, we might use it toward a motel room to stay in temporarily.. And it will go towards fixing my car since it's on its last legs, or I'll be buying a new used car if we can't do the house down payment. Right now there's so many options with so much unknown on my path so my heads everywhere, if you can't tell from this post alone. Lol. But I also want to have a fun night out since as a family we haven't been able to recently. And I also have some bills I have to catch up on and possibly put a small fee down to help with my kids and try to put any money away if possible depending where the money goes. And last thing is to get a secured credit card so I CAN build my credit more too to reach my goals. So... Do I win?! Lol!! I know everyone can use extra money right now no matter how small so good luck to any and everyone!!

I'm actually not getting a refund im getting the last stimulus check I didn't get the first time around. I hope it'll be enough to fix my license and pay off all my tickets so I can have a fresh start in life since I just got out of rehab. I also wish everyone luck on winning this 100 gift card. 🙏 I really hope it's me though bc I NEVER win anything.

I’ll be using mine on plus some to pay for my son’s Selective Mutism treatment retreat and therapy… fingers crossed it helps!

I will use my refund to take my grandchildren, who live with me, to Adventure Island for a day, and the rest will go into savings so I will be able to give them everything else little kids deserve throughout the year. Birthdays, fireworks, camping etc..
