I’ve always heard that tax refunds are for investing or saving for retirement. Mine? It’s for eggs. One carton. That’s it. A clear indicator of how far $12 goes in today’s economy

In fact, 38% of US adults plan on using their tax refunds to catch up on overdue bills, tackle debt or cover housing costs, according to a recent CNET survey. Even if you finagled more than $12 back from the IRS this tax season, it might be a temporary lifeline to cover the high cost of essentials.
